A little over a year ago, Joey Banks and I were DM’ing each other in Slack about leaving our W-2 jobs and going independent.

So this week’s episode is a reflection on his journey working for himself and it’s as human and relatable as any conversation I’ve ever had on this show. We go deep into:

Managing your pipeline of clients
Creating a personal knowledge system in Notion
Finding companionship as an independent designer
Structuring your schedule and maintaining momentum
Communicating your services and pricing yourself effectively
Dealing with uncertainty and all of the unknowns in your first year
a lot more
