PATREON - Want to support us and have AD FREE podcasts?

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:Failing to help yourself before you can help other people Making good decisions, at the wrong timeSpecialising too earlyLINKS FOR LUCIE💻 See Website: https://www.positiveimpact.studio🐦 Connect on Twitter: https://twitter.com/lucielldesign📬 Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucie-le-liard-986373b4/📸 Connect on InstagramTRY OUT WEBFLOW🚀https://webflow.grsm.io/webflailCONNECT WITH WEBFLAIL📬 Subscribe to the newsletter: https://webflail.ck.page/8a5e37bca6🐦 Connect on Twitter: https://twitter.com/JackRedley1SAY THANKS💜 Leave a review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...💜 Leave a rating on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5834...💜 Buy Me A Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/infoHg🖥 CHECK OUT THE WEBSITE!https://www.webflail.com/

PATREON - Want to support us and have AD FREE podcasts? Then become a Webflailer HERE Welcome to Episode 53 of Webflail with Maël RuffiniYou may have met him in Barcelona for the Tambien Studio meet-up. 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’ll talk about today are:The failure to not be able to focus on one thing at a time.Not having enough self-confidence. The inability to create content consistently and be visible on social media.

Ep 52 | Why Passion Wins Projects: How This Award Winning Webflower Goes With His Gut Rather Than With Niches | With Ilja van Eck
PATREON - Want to support us and have AD FREE podcasts? Then become a Webflailer HERE Welcome to Episode 52 of Webflail with Ilja van EckYou may have seen his award winning work floating around the Twittersphere because he’s pumping out award winning work monthly it seems. Nominated for independent of the year, part of Okaydevs and having worked with the likes of studios such as Holographic and Off Brand, he’s had a hell of a Webflow career already at only 21 years old. His new YouTube Channel has already amassed 1000 subscribers with only 5 videos so far which is wild. His chilled, down to earth dutch vibes are ideal for calmly teaching us mere mortals how to use GSap and more. Recently, he started his own no-code community in the Netherlands too. But has success come to Ilja without bumps in the road? Of course not.The failures we’ll talk about today are:Saying yes to a branding project without asking enough questions.Not saying no, and therefore burning out a bitTaking on personal projects without actually having the time for themLINKS FOR ILJA💻 See Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@iljavaneck🐦 Connect on Twitter: https://twitter.com/iljavaneck📬 Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ilja-van-eckTRY OUT WEBFLOW🚀https://webflow.grsm.io/webflailCONNECT WITH WEBFLAIL📬 Subscribe to the newsletter: https://webflail.ck.page/8a5e37bca6🐦 Connect on Twitter: https://twitter.com/JackRedley1SAY THANKS💜 Leave a review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...💜 Leave a rating on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5834...💜 Buy Me A Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/infoHg🖥 CHECK OUT THE WEBSITE!https://www.webflail.com/

In the style of the Webflow university videos, she applies for a community grant with wit and charm. But the fact she can do this is no surprise. 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:Not getting a return offer from FacebookNot being able to raise the funds to complete her second degree from collegeNot being patient enough with her parentsThanks for the amazing support over Season 1 - 10,000 listens was such a great way to finish it!LINKS FOR CHISOM💻 See Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@ChisomIgwe🐦 Connect on Twitter: https://twitter.com/chisomigwe_?s=20📬 Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chisomigwe/?originalSubdomain=ieV Link to Vev: https://www.vev.designTRY OUT WEBFLOW🚀https://webflow.grsm.io/webflailCONNECT WITH WEBFLAIL📬 Subscribe to the newsletter: https://webflail.ck.page/8a5e37bca6🐦 Connect on Twitter: https://twitter.com/JackRedley1SAY THANKS💜 Leave a review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...💜 Leave a rating on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5834...💜 Buy Me A Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/infoHg🖥 CHECK OUT THE WEBSITE!https://www.webflail.com/
