ABOUT THIS EPISODE

In this episode, we meet Desire Lacap, a freelance filmmaker and content creator who took the leap into freelancing just a year ago. 

Desire talks about how she grew her social media following by sharing filmmaking tips and tricks, which led to brand partnerships and exciting opportunities like working with Adobe. 

We hear the challenges of balancing passion projects with paid work, the importance of avoiding burnout, but very much not-avoiding making real life connections in your industry. 

And here's a great freelancer philosophy -"passion over profit." 
If you follow the passion... the profit will come.

We also have  insights into building a personal brand, managing client relationships, and staying true to your creative vision whilst keeping the customer happy as a freelancer.
