Adam Pearson’s Top 5 episodes of Being Freelance

I’ve only got 200 words (the tight git!) so best get to it.

My top 5 episodes of Being Freelance:



Paul Jarvis - an episode that’s made my business better

What I want for my business finally clicked after listening to Paul. Ever since I’ve been looking at making things better, not bigger.

Listen to the Paul Jarvis episode, 'Better, not bigger'

 

Gareth K Thomas - an episode that struck a chord with me

Gareth’s story made me realise that there’s more to life than running a business. It’s hard not be inspired by his values and outlook.

Listen to the Gareth K Thomas episode, 'Fostering trust'

 

Andy Kirk - an episode that made me more creative

This was the first episode that challenged me to think that actually what I do, research and data, is creative. I even bought Andy’s book and attended his training after this.

Listen to the Andy Kirk episode, 'The value of value'

 

A couple of episodes from some friendly voices….

It’s nice to look back on the Being Freelance back catalogue and reflect on how some of the people I listened to and took so much inspiration from have gone on to become friends.

Gareth Hancock: Building from scratch – what a story!

Dave Smyth: Know your personal value – what a voice!

And talking of voices and friends…

There’s been one constant since episode one: Steve. Sir Folland of Freelance. Take a bow.

 

Since Adam is a big fan of working with data, he also created this comprehensive analysis in infographic form :)
