  • Being a first time author and trusting the process with Amanda Jones
    Jun 3 2021

    Today's guest is Amanda Jones. Amanda is a filmmaker, art director and recent author of Dairy of a freelancer: a book filled with wisdom for anyone who is pursuing their dreams in any way. I had the honour of sitting with Amanda over a coffee to chat about her newly released book from the journey, to the process and what she see's Diary of a Freelancer becoming. It was such a grounding, relaxed and insightful conversation that I believe will encourage you.

    Quote from the book:
    "Why do we rush to grow? Things that grow fast: weeds. Things that grow slow: trees."
