- Brilliant podcast
These guys are the essence of design - talking about passion! Talking about what they love and why the hard stuff is worth it. The types of conversations that we all want to have. Not preachy but enthusiastic, genuine advice - the best design podcast I've found. Also loving the recs on new designers to follow!

I just enjoy how well you guys play off each other with Jack’s love for business structure and CJ’s spontaneous passion for design. You can consider this your first official question if you’d like, but as a fellow brand and graphic designer on THE spectrum 🧠🧩, what advice would y’all give to first time entrepreneurs like me trying to attract clients and build brain friendly systems without overwhelming the nervous system? Thanx!

Apple Podcasts5AnsbroUnited Statesa year ago - Great honest and insightful podcast show for creatives trying to navigate the freelance world.
I’ve been following both CJ and Jack for a while over various social media’s and they are both fantastic designers so when I heard CJ was producing a podcast I knew I was going to love it.
Just as the description states this is a no fluff, no over exaggerated success story, it is just an honest chat about how Jack got to where he was. It was truly insightful and I can’t wait to hear more chats with guests CJ has on.
If your a freelance designer who is tired and sick of hearing and seeing peo... more
