Show Notes

PT 3: Our conversation is split into three parts – in our third and final episode, we talk about what he's learned along the way as a parent and freelancer, the types of professional development he's pursued over the past year and what he hopes the future may hold for his kids.

Steve Folland is a parent, video and audio creator and the founder of Being Freelance. The next episode covers what he wishes someone would have told him before becoming a freelancer and parent and what he hopes the future holds for his kids.

THINGS WE TALK ABOUT: 

  • What he wishes someone would have told him before becoming a parent
  • Scheduling time off for yourself, as you would as an employee
  • Treating yourself like a business when you're a freelancer
  • The kind of professional development he's pursued during the pandemic
  • Making time to do non-business related things
  • Learning new skills and trying out different workflows 
  • What he hopes the future may hold for his kids
  • Hobbies we want to keep doing after the pandemic

Thanks to Steve for speaking with us about parenthood and adapting his business during the pandemic!

ABOUT MIXING BABIES AND BUSINESS™

This podcast is the result of my journey over the past five years bringing my kids into business settings, hosting parent-friendly professional development events and during these times, it's my creative attempt to continue connecting you with industry leaders and guest experts who also happen to be parents.
