In this enlightening episode, we sit down with Mike, a seasoned freelancer and mentor in the creative industry, to discuss pivotal moments and career-defining experiences. Mike opens up about his long and winding journey from the corporate world to freelancing, and shares the exhilarating moment when he felt like he had truly "made it." We didn’t shy away from the hard questions either, such as the challenges posed by heightened competition, shifting market demands, and the pursuit of going viral in order to stand out in a saturated industry. With a series of bold statements, Mike discusses the delicate balance between pursuing lucrative projects and staying true to one's artistic vision, and how he learned to protect his creativity while pursuing this balance. Tune in for an inspiring and thought-provoking conversation with a passionate creative who bares it all.Don’t miss an episode and get access to exclusive Briefing In content by subscribing to our newsletter!TIMESTAMPS:(00:00) - Opening Spiel(00:54) - Introducing Mike(02:01) - Chapter 1: Where it all started(07:44) - Chapter 2: New chapter, new opportunities(18:28) - Chapter 3: The lifeline as a creative(23:18) - Chapter 4: Your value as a creative(28:46) - Chapter 5: How do you stand out?(37:43) - Chapter 6: The community, struggles, and one upping yourself(46:54) - Chapter 7: A new perspective(52:42) - Chapter 8: Quality over quantity, input & output(56:59) - Chapter 9: Last wordsCONNECT WITH MIKE:Instagram: @tridentofcebuBusiness Page: TsukeSTART YOUR VA JOURNEY:As part of “The VA’s Playbook: Productivity Series”, you can now get a FREE copy of The 5 Essentials Guide for Virtual Assistants!
