CCR332: From Freelancer to Founder: How Chris Orzechowski Built a Business That Prints Email Profits

If you've ever hit that wall in your freelance career where you're booked solid, your income looks good on paper, but somehow you feel stuck, this episode is going to hit you square in the chest.

Chris Orzechowski is one of the few freelance copywriters who managed to break free from the "busy but broke" trap. He's written for huge eCommerce brands, trained hundreds of writers through his courses, and built a thriving email agency that lets him do creative work and be home with his kids every night.

In our conversation, Chris and I dig deep into the real evolution of a freelance copywriter, how to move from surviving on gigs to building something scalable, sustainable, and sane.

We talk about systems, mindset, and the hard lessons it takes to go from writing words to running a business. But we also talk about what it means to stay a craftsman in a world obsessed with automation and shortcuts.

This isn't a "rah-rah hustle" episode, it's an honest look at how to grow up as a copywriter, stay creative, and actually build a business worth living for.
