Throw on that lab coat, grab your safety goggles and get ready to bust some myths, freelancer style! This week, your fabulous neighbourhood hustlers are channeling their inner MythBusters – sorry, no Bigfoot or aliens here (though we’re not ruling out intergalactic side gigs). That means diving into the wild, wacky world of entrepreneurial myths. You know, the kind people love to whisper about behind their lattes, and, even more dangerously, the ones entrepreneurs believe about themselves.

Think you have to be rolling in dough, grinding 24/7, or under 30 with a ring light to make it? Think again. Sean and Michelle are calling BS on those tired clichés. They’re breaking it all down, from the “I must do everything myself” delusion to the “success should be instant” fantasy. And don’t even get them started on the obsession with social media followers.

Believing a myth now and then? Totally human. Letting it steer your business? Major red flag. Stay sharp, freelancers – these streets are no joke, but with the right mindset (and a handful of sass), you’ve got this!

This week’s pour is Reif Estate Winery’s Drea’s Dornfelder, a deliciously smooth and fruity red wine from Ontario’s Niagara wine region!

Oh, it's that time again! Your favourite freelancer squad is back at it, sipping cider and throwing down the real talk about community vs. competition.

After Sean gives Michelle a lesson in "equidistant" (yep, it’s a word), and Michelle takes a victory lap for being the only one who did the homework, the hosts dive into the juicy stuff – why building a solid community of fellow entrepreneurs is EVERYTHING. We’re talking real, no-strings-attached connections, endless support, and finding those ride-or-dies who vibe with your values. Plus, they get real on how even a simple social media interaction or client referral can make a world of difference for a small biz, and how sticking together is the secret sauce to leveling up. Strength in numbers, baby!

So grab a zesty drink, kick back, and let’s get into how Community Totally Slays Competition!

Oh lawd, they comin’!

Sean and Michelle are back, bringing the laughs and a dash of wisdom as they chat about their favourite resources!

Did you know Michelle might actually work at a library in some parallel universe? Neither did Sean! Between deciding if Michelle’s dream café could survive the current economy (spoiler: it’s touch-and-go) and Sean emphatically declaring that he’s definitely not a vegetarian, they dive into the good stuff. They’re talking the three F’s (nope, not THOSE F’s), small business centres and libraries, and why Canva is their go-to for social media magic. They also share why continuing education is a must, why reaching out to a pro is always worth it, and how having a squad of small biz pals can save you from Thelma and Louise-ing your business off a cliff!

Hey, just because they’re Freelance AF doesn’t mean they don’t know how to be Resourceful AF.

This week’s pour is Thornbury Craft Co.’s Blood Orange cider, a spectacular cidery-exclusive from Thornbury, Ontario!
