For Episode 9, my guest is Felix Meens,an experienced digital designer and Webflow developer based in Finland and founder of Webflix Studio.
As Felix says, when you focus your marketing efforts on one of these channels in particular, and become more clued up on how that platform works, you are more likely to get consistent clients. The problem with trying to get clients everywhere is that you will spend hours learning the ins and outs of each platform and becoming a generalist marketer rather than just focussing on one or two platforms to get clients to be a Webflow freelancer.

With challenges, show and tells and an extremely active community, Lysh was nominated for the rising start award at webflow conf at the end of last year. Although she has not done Webflow very long, she is someone that I think will be extremely succesful since she is insatiably curious, always gives without expecting anything in return and works really hard on her craft.

He now has over 9 people working with him at the studio. Not only that but he’s a father of 3 too! He is crushing it in the webflow space. Fails we talk about in this episode:
Also, my beautiful mic wasn’t connected for this episode. anyway, my audio isn’t very good but luckily, thorir’s is and he is the man who you actually need to hear so hopefully it’s all good. Will check the mic is plugged in next episode. LOL. CONNECT WITH THORIR | |||

| 25 Apr 2023 | Ep 39 | Stand By Your Price | Matías Pitters | 00:46:50 | |
Hello and welcome to episode 39 of Webflail. I’m your host, Jack, and today my guest is Matias Piters. You will have probably seen him if you’re in the Webflow Twittersphere after he did his 100 days of clones. He was a designer that came across Webflow in 2014 when he was working for a digital design agency in New Zealand. However, he went all in on webflow in 2017. In 2019, Joe Krug from Finsweet reached out and asked him to join Finsweet and he worked there for over two years before deciding to start an agency called Bookmark. He is now focussing his practice on just dev! The failures we talk about in this episode are: Failure No 1 - Not standing by the price I gave to a client Failure No 2 - Not sticking to the plans I make. This is both, personal and professional life. In the professional life this can be seen as not executing and a plan I already did to gain more client. Failure No 3 - Stepping out of a closed deal because I was afraid I couldn't deliver. | |||

| 23 May 2023 | Ep 43 | Why Having A Long Term Mentality Leads To Freelance Success | With Ran Segall | 00:36:22 | |
For Ep 43, my guest is Ran Segall. I’m sure this man needs no introduction to listeners of Webflail but for my mum who listens to these episodes who maybe doesn’t know him, Ran Segall is a full stack designer, content creator and owner of an online webflow school, Flux Academy. I first came across Ran maybe 5 years ago when I watched one of his daily vlog videos. And I became pretty obsessed. He cycled through Tel A Viv on the way to client meetings, sat in his office explaining the structure of a landing page or sharing behind the scenes of his startup, Prospero. I think I and of lot people connected with Ran because he was curious, enigmatic and exceptionally clear at explaining complicated things in a simple manner. This helps to explain the insane success of Flux Academy when it was first launched and planted the seed for the success to come. Flux eventually became the core focus and he has now built a team around him for the academy to be fully fledged and robust business. The failures we talk about in this episode are:

He also set up 'Made by Adventur'e - a company to highlight travel as a force for good. I hadn't met Max before this interview, but from scrolling through his social media and website, there are obvious things about his life: his love of problem solving and the great outdoors. I think people that are both good at working through analytical problems but also have love the freedom and wilderness of nature are particularly potent because they can both zoom in on problems but also zoom out to have a wider perspective. Today, we’ll dig in to Max’s failures:

For Ep 47 of Webflail, my guest is Fungi Fungi comes from a science background with a Batchelor of Science in Human Anatomy and Physiology & Biochemistry.

Her style is heavily influenced by Afrikan culture: patterns, historic writings, graphic symbols and colour as a form of visual and global communication. Go check out her beautiful website after the episode! The 3 failures we talk about are:

| 30 Jun 2023 | Ep 48 | How To Choose Which Clients To Work With | With Alex & Balerein from Tambien | 00:56:16 | |
For Ep 48 of Webflail, my guests are Alex Tourgis & Balerein Aranda Arestizabal. I met these 2 for the first time at their incredible event in Barcelona where they had some big name speakers like Emily Lonetto, Maguire, and Tambien studio presented some of their beautiful work - you’ve probably seen it in the Webflow space. It’s characterised by beautiful, large images, gsap animations, and large sans serif fonts. I recommend checking out their beautiful work on the Tambien studio website after this episode! Along with Mael Ruffini, their studio punches well above their weight both in quality of work, size of clients and content output. But their journey to building their studio has not been linear as you’re about to hear. The failures we talk about in this episode are: 1) Failing to follow your instinct rather than your bank account 2) Rushing the process and trying to grow too fast 3) Failing to balance work and life

Today, my guest is Dylan Harrocks. I met Dylan for the first time in Barcelona a few weeks ago. The power of twitter - crazy. Anyway, since then, I joined the same co-working space as him and we’ve talked about the power of his subscription based pricing model for his agency, building a network and pushing through barriers. He is an email marketing genius and I feel like this is something that we will be talking about today too. But although Nexu Creative has grown fast, he has had his fair share of failure. The 3 failures we will talk about today are:

She has a YouTube channel where she does tech interviews, career videos like where she talks about her experience as a software engineer at Reddit and about her time living in Ireland. Cheesom is building a startup, power to the creators, alongside her full time job working at Vev, a Webflow competitor! The failures we’ll talk about today are:

Then become a Webflailer HERE I met Lucie in a online coaching course a few years ago and then for the first time in real life in Bordeaux a few months ago! She’s the founder of Positive Impact Studio which works with mission mission-driven startups from early stages to more established. With an honourable mention for that website, she’s grown in design and has worked with all sorts of mission driven start ups. Lucie is insanely passionate about what she does but what I love about Lucie is that she is also keen to build an agency while also living and working abroad like living in Central America for a year. Lucie goes the extra mile for clients - she is one of the hardest working people I know and I’m excited to dig in to her failures today! The failures we’ll talk about today are:

Now, I know Isabel from a Webflow meetup that I organised in London at the start of this year, and then I met her again at Barcelona meetup organised by Tambien Studios.

She is also the head of brand for Versori, a platform that integrates, migrates, transforms and automates your business systems backed by Y Combinator. She is a Webflow global leader and she was Webflow Global Leader of the Year this year, beating some strong competitors (I will never forgive her...) She also freelances for Designsie, doing some web design, brand identity and UX UI when she finds time around her job, which as you may have guessed, she doesn't actually have too much of.

He’s Staff Brand Designer, Web at Webflow but before joining webflow in 2019, he ran a digital agency together with my business partner for the last decade. They worked with all sorts of clients in all kinds of projects including fashion campaigns, ads, branding, store design & signage, web design and development, mailing and drip campaigns. ANYTHING CREATIVE, JOHNNIE HAS DONE IT. Kevin arleo: “Johnnie is that kind of people that is hard to find. There is no need to say that he is an amazing, chameleon-like designer that can do any type of work with brilliance because his work speaks for himself. But the thing is, that Johnnie is an incredible human being with a great sense of empathy. I have never seen someone who cares so much for his coworkers and the design community. He is always willing to teach and learn from others. His energy and kindness are contagious. My advice for anyone considering working with Johnnie would be: DO IT, don't miss that opportunity.” The failures that we will talk about today are:
