Using Copywriting as a Launchpad to Consultancy - Catching Up with Adele (Episode 254)

I don’t like to play favorites, but according to the data, one of our most-watched student stories of all time was with Adele and her now-husband Jake (you can watch that original episode right here).

The two of them were super kind enough to share what it was like shifting from a completely unrelated job into copywriting—and supporting a loved one during that transition.

My favorite part about that episode was that Jake thought the Comprehensive Copywriting Academy was a scam, but once he saw Adele in action bought her a new laptop.

Well, that conversation was nearly four years ago (I know, I don’t understand time).

So, while we’ve seen Adele since then, it was long overdue for a podcast catch up.

You can hear our most conversation on this week’s episode of the Build Your Copywriting Business podcast.

If you’re wondering where copywriting can take you or how you evolve your career as your goals change, Adele’s got so much great advice to share.

Plus, she’s telling us where she’s taking her business next, and we couldn’t be more excited for her!!! (Yes, she’s taking a three-exclamation-marks-worthy next step.)
