Welcome (once again) to Episode 18 of Webflail with Yannick Lorenz (also known as Yaya).At Webflail HQ, we felt that this episode has been slept on for too long so here it is again. Yaya provides brilliant insights into the world of agency ownership and the enormous pressures which come from not having systems and processes.Three years ago, he co-founded the creative studio 'Shadow'. Believing it was the way to success and the life he wanted, he hired staff quickly, made up systems and processes as he went along, and said yes to client requests to satisfy their demands. The combination of internal and external pressures almost forced Yaya to close Shadow but he managed to turn it around. Now, he works on both Shadow and Crème which launched this year, curating opportunities for the world's top Webflow talent.The three failures Yaya talks about in this episode are:1. Failing to spot that he was hiring and growing his agency too fast2. Failing to prevent debts, loans and too much risk3. Failing to put in place processes and systemsCONNECT WITH YAYA📬 See their website: https://www.wearecreme.com/📬 Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shadowyaya/🐦 Connect on Twitter: https://twitter.com/yayasviewCONNECT WITH WEBFLAIL📬 Subscribe to the newsletter: https://www.webflail.com/newsletter🐦 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/

Welcome to episode 50 of Webflail with Joe KrugIf you’re listening to this podcast, you probably already know Joe and the incredible things he has done not just for him and his team, but for the Webflow community as well. But just in case you don't know him and his work let's have a recap...He started Finsweet web agency in January 2016 with no development knowledge and no money but through determination and hard work, he grew in confidence after getting results for clients and things accelerated fast. In 2017, Joe hired 2 devs and  started motoring. As the agency grew, he started a YouTube channel in 2019 and by the end of 2019 had 12 employees. In early 2020, he turned down a $1.24 million offer to sell Finsweet and has since gone on to create the F’in sweet community, cloneables, Client First Build Strategy, Attributes, Finsweet Chrome Extension, acquired Wized. It’s INSANE.The failures we’ll talk about today are:A startup that taught Joe a lot about businessFailed cold calls for website clientsHiring the wrong people early on in FinsweetThanks so much for listening to 50 episodes of Webflail. We can't wait to launch Season 2 of the Podcast soon...CONNECT WITH JOE💻 See Website: https://finsweet.com🐦 Connect on Twitter: https://twitter.com/joekrug📬 Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joekrug/TRY 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/

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:Building A Virtual AgencyChanging Processes For ClientsBeing Too Hard On HimselfCONNECT WITH DYLAN💻 See Website: https://www.nexus-creative.com/‍🐦 Connect on Twitter: https://twitter.com/dylanjharrocks‍📬 Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dylan-harrocks-715601117/‍TRY 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/

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 account2) Rushing the process and trying to grow too fast3) Failing to balance work and lifeCONNECT WITH ALEX & BALEREIN💻 See Website: https://www.tambien.studio/🐦 Connect on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Tambien_studio 📬 Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/tambienstudio/ TRY 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/

For Ep 47 of Webflail, my guest is FungiFungi comes from a science background with a Batchelor of Science in Human Anatomy and Physiology & Biochemistry. She initially became interested in design after watching a Photoshop tutorial and from then she was hooked, going down the rabbit hole of design to learn different softwares and grow as a designer. She found her brand voice and design style when she tied her background from Harare in Zimbabwe to her Webflow work. 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:First ever webflow dev siteHaving proper internal systemsGetting a steady flow of workCONNECT WITH FUNGI💻 See Website: https://www.fungidube.com🐦 Connect on Twitter: https://twitter.com/fungi_dube📬 Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/fungidube/TRY 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/

Her team is now 5 people including Jamie and the agency is a professional partner. Virago has worked on some killer projects so far including TEDx Miami, Caviar Caspia and Juice Pharma. Basically, Jamie is killing it but was it always this way?The 3 failures we will discuss today are:Starting out as a Wordpress designer and developer and taking on ridiculously low paying projects.Working 12+ hours a day on all the wrong things after starting my agency.Hitting what I thought was my 10 year monthly revenue target and feeling nothing but stress.CONNECT WITH JAMIE💻 See Website: https://www.viragodevelopment.com🐦 Connect on Twitter: https://twitter.com/jamiedowis?lang=en-GB📬 Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamie-dowis/TRY 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/

For Ep 45, my guest is Ankita Gupta.Ankita is a freelance webflow developer based in Delhi, India. You may have seen her in the semi-final of the speed build challenge or speaking at the Floxies community. She is an avid no code fan, and writes a newsletter called Trail Of Thoughts, all about UI/UX design, nocode and ChatGPT. They’re filled with diagrams and clear, analytical thinking which seems to be Ankita’s great skill.The failures we talk about in this episode are:Following the herd mentalityChasing every new shiny object in the marketWaiting for the work to come to you rather than going and getting itCONNECT WITH ANKITA💻 See Website: https://ankita-gupta.webflow.io🐦 Connect on Twitter: https://twitter.com/UxAnkita📬 Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ankita-gupta-5a311322/🗞 Subscribe to 'Trail of Thoughts' Newsletter: https://trail-of-thoughts.beehiiv.com/subscribeTRY 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/

For Ep 44, my guest is Max Joles.Max is the head of dev for 8020 agency in the states and also writes a newsletter about his hometown of Maine called the 'Maine Outsider' - a roundup of local outdoor events. 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:Forgetting he has a bodyAssuming responsibilityTaking himself too seriouslyCONNECT WITH MAX💻 See Website: https://www.maxjoles.com🐦 Connect on Twitter: https://twitter.com/maxjoles?lang=en-GB📬 Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maxjoles/TRY 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/
