24. Freelancing During the Covid-19 Pandemic: Stuart's Story

What happens when a pandemic hits and you're furloughed from your
job? For Stuart Tarn it meant taking advantage of some additional
time and learning an entirely new skill. Stuart has been in his
current job in the airline industry for nearly 17 years. He
shares why he pursued copywriting, the ways his past experiences
help his copywriting, and some of the mindset shifts he's had to
make from full-time employee to freelancer.


Stuart, Nicki, and Kate also dig into why people think
freelancing is risky, why transferable skills are so important
for any career, and the importance of sending follow up emails to
clients you pitch.
