Joey Banks - Designing your career path

A little over a year ago, Joey Banks and I were DM’ing each other in Slack about leaving our W-2 jobs and going independent.

So this week’s episode is a reflection on his journey working for himself and it’s as human and relatable as any conversation I’ve ever had on this show. We go deep into:

  • Managing your pipeline of clients
  • Creating a personal knowledge system in Notion
  • Finding companionship as an independent designer
  • Structuring your schedule and maintaining momentum
  • Communicating your services and pricing yourself effectively
  • Dealing with uncertainty and all of the unknowns in your first year
  • a lot more
