I’m your host, Jack, your failure connoisseur, and today I’m joined by the one and only Jonathan Morin, better known in the Webflow world as Jo Mor. Joe is a standout designer and developer, whose work beautifully blends storytelling, sharp design, and smooth development into something truly unique.I first met Joe at Webflow Conf in London, where we had a memorable moment—twerking together while Melissa Mendez filmed us. Beyond the moves, Joe is an award-winning designer with a knack for combining aesthetic brilliance and technical precision. His site, jomor.design, is a testament to his skills and the waves he’s making in the design world. And if you’ve seen his hilarious talk at Webflow Conf, you already know his energy is unmatched.But today, we’re not just here to admire Joe’s successes. We’re diving into the trials and lessons that have shaped his journey. In this episode, we’ll explore:Prioritizing money over meaningful work and its hidden costs.Selling a service he couldn’t deliver—and the weekend he won’t forget.Battling negative self-talk and the quest for self-compassion.This is going to be an honest, raw, and insightful conversation packed with lessons for anyone navigating the creative industry.00:00 Introduction and Guest Introduction01:52 Discussing Failure and Personal Growth06:05 Insights on Design and Development11:01 Advice for Aspiring Web Designers26:57 Balancing Work and Personal Life40:39 A Challenging Project45:01 The Weekend Nightmare47:06 Lessons Learned from Failure49:19 The Importance of Transparency55:06 Balancing Ambition and Self-CompassionWEBFLAIL FREEBIES10 Step Process To Land Your First Webflow Clients: The Ultimate Guide:https://www.webflail.com/resources/10-step-process-to-land-your-first-webflow-clients-the-ultimate-guideLINKS FOR JO‍💻 See Website: https://www.jomor.design/🔗 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/iamjomor/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...

I’m your host, Jack, your failure connoisseur, and today we’ve got a special double-bill episode with the brilliant duo, Camille Di Vincenzo & Ellina Chhay. These two are powerhouse no-code and low-code experts who bring years of experience in Webflow and beyond, helping to build a better internet together.I first heard about Camille and Ellina through Théo Roland from the French Webflow community, who insisted I invite them on Webflail. And wow, am I glad I did! Both of them have extensive knowledge not just in the Webflow ecosystem but across various tools that make the no-code space so vibrant.Together, they’ve also been fostering an amazing sense of community through initiatives like Webflow Co-living, where professionals gather in inspiring locations to connect, collaborate, and grow. From board game nights to quizzes, these retreats are redefining the way Webflow enthusiasts bond and learn from each other.In this episode, we’ll dig into six failures—three from each of these incredible guests. These failures include:For Ellina:Not qualifying prospects and accepting all calls without distinction.Underpricing her services and struggling to value her work.Accepting too many clients and underestimating project deadlines.And for Camille:Failing to set boundaries with customers and friends.Avoiding complicated projects that could push her to grow.Hesitating to ask questions in the Webflow community out of fear of judgment.These two have a wealth of insights to share about failure, resilience, and how to keep leveling up in this industry. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro, you’re going to learn so much from this conversation.00:00 Introduction and Personal Journey00:27 Meet the Guests: Alina and Camille01:32 Failures and Lessons Learned03:25 The Importance of Networking07:29 Co-living and Community Building24:06 Balancing Rates and Workload26:31 Respecting Boundaries with Clients29:42 Pricing Structures and Client Communication33:05 Overcoming Fear of Complex Projects41:00 Embracing Failure and Community SupportWEBFLAIL FREEBIES10 Step Process To Land Your First Webflow Clients: The Ultimate Guide:https://www.webflail.com/resources/10-step-process-to-land-your-first-webflow-clients-the-ultimate-guideLINKS FOR CAMILLE & ELLINA‍💻 See Website: https://www.camilledivincenzo.com/🔗 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/camille-di-vincenzo/‍💻 See Website: https://nocodesecrets.substack.com/🔗 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ellina-chhay-%E9%99%88%E5%A8%9C-automatisation-nocode-ia/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...

Hello and welcome to episode 110 of Webflail. I'm your host, Jack, your failure connoisseur, and today my guest is Zena Potter. Since 2022, she's been working as a freelance web designer and Webflow developer. She creates websites that attract, engage, and convert your target audience. But basically, she works with All sorts of different clients.She's worked with FinTech clients. She's worked with physiotherapy clients. She's done a lot of different websites in different industries before freelancing. She's worked in project management and PA consulting. So I think what's interesting about her is that she knows the client process really well, which I think a lot of web flows actually don't know as well as they need to.We'll talk a little bit about that in this episode. Another thing that we'll talk about is. Xena's approach to marketing herself as a freelancer. Alongside showing her work, she also shows behind the scenes like hiking, brunch, talking about things broader than just Webflow. So interesting to note there at the start of this episode too.But has it all been easy breezy for Zena? Of course not. The failures that we'll talk about today are:1) Not LinkedIn/networking2) Undercharging in cases where she could have charged more but lack the confidence3) Not establishing a routine as a freelancer00:00 Introduction and Initial Struggles00:28 Meet the Guest: Zena Potter01:37 Discussing Failures and Challenges04:58 Networking and Overcoming Isolation12:21 Project Management Skills in Freelancing16:12 Learning and Transitioning to Web Design17:46 Getting Clients and Marketing Strategies22:32 Importance of LinkedIn and Networking26:29 Building Connections as a Freelancer27:20 The Importance of LinkedIn Marketing28:23 Being Authentic Online29:29 Consistency and Engagement on Social Media31:58 The Slow Process of Gaining Clients35:23 The Struggle with Pricing39:00 Learning to Charge What You're Worth46:23 Balancing Fun and Financial Goals49:30 Establishing a Routine as a Freelancer53:56 Future Challenges and BoundariesWEBFLAIL FREEBIES10 Step Process To Land Your First Webflow Clients: The Ultimate Guide:https://www.webflail.com/resources/10-step-process-to-land-your-first-webflow-clients-the-ultimate-guideLINKS FOR ZENA‍💻 See Website: https://www.zenadesigns.co.uk/🔗 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/zena-potter/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...

His ability to blend Webflow with GSAP animations is something you don’t see often in the Webflow space.Bimo is an Awwwards judge, a professional Webflow partner, and a pioneer in pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with Webflow and GSAP. But today’s episode isn’t just about his awards and amazing projects—it’s also about his journey through failure to reach this level of success.We’ll dive into some of Bimo's challenges, including:Failing with his first online dropshipping business,Struggling to recognize client red flags and learning it’s okay to demand respect, andUnderstanding that freelancing or running a studio is still a business, even as a solo founder.00:00 Introduction to Freelancing as a Business00:28 Meet Bimo Tree: A Webflow Innovator01:39 Embracing Failure: Bimo's Journey02:47 The Freelancing Grind: Lessons Learned09:40 Building BAMOJ: From Solo to Studio15:33 Client Work: Strategies and Processes26:03 Early Failures: Dropshipping Woes31:32 Affiliate Marketing and SEO Adventures35:16 Mastering GSAP: Inspirations and Advice38:24 Client Revisions and Realizations39:23 The Importance of Contracts40:28 Setting Boundaries with Clients41:15 Balancing Quality and Scope41:38 Learning to Say No48:45 Understanding Freelancing as a Business51:28 Financial Planning for Freelancers54:01 Different Freelancing Approaches59:15 Comparing Yourself to Others01:01:05 Final Thoughts and ReflectionsWEBFLAIL FREEBIES10 Step Process To Land Your First Webflow Clients: The Ultimate Guide:https://www.webflail.com/resources/10-step-process-to-land-your-first-webflow-clients-the-ultimate-guideLINKS FOR BIMO‍💻 See Website: https://www.bamoj.com/X: https://x.com/bamojk🔗 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bamoj/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...

Hello and welcome to episode 107 of Webflail. I'm your host, Jack, your failure connoisseur, and today I am joined by none other than Tolu Abolarin. This guy came up to me at FlowFest in Manchester. He was a little nervous and said, "Hey Jack, I listen to the podcast, I'm a big fan."I was like, "Oh my God, someone listens to the Webflail podcast! I appreciate you, thanks so much!" We stayed in contact, and he recently reached out and said, "Hey Jack, would you mind if I came on and shared my story?" He's got a killer story, as you're about to find out today, so I'm very glad to have him on.Tolu moved to Birmingham from Nigeria last year. He now works at Greater Studio, based in New York, freelancing for them while also doing his own freelance projects. He's got a killer portfolio, so definitely check that out: ToluMEN.com—that's T-O-L-U-M-E-N.com. His portfolio is beautiful. He does both design and development, and he's really starting to make waves. But has it always been easy? Of course not.The three failures we'll be discussing today are: 1) Chasing money over quality and not niching down2) Not networking enough3) Working for a startup without a formal agreement—or not getting paid.TIMESTAMPS00:00 Introduction to Freelancing Journey00:27 Meet Tolu Abelaran: A Story of Growth01:10 Tolu's Journey from Nigeria to the UK02:38 Embracing Failure as a Learning Tool04:48 Discovering Webflow: A New Skillset08:55 Breaking into the Webflow Community13:30 Landing a Full-Time Role at Greater Studio15:37 Balancing Freelance and Full-Time Work20:24 Reflecting on Past Mistakes and Niching Down27:08 The Importance of Being Known for Something27:48 Finding Your Niche in the Webflow Community29:58 Overcoming Networking Challenges33:40 The Power of Connection and Networking39:20 Learning from a Painful Startup Experience47:43 The Value of Agency Work for Stability51:03 Embracing New Skills and Future Challenges53:02 Conclusion and GratitudeWEBFLAIL FREEBIES10 Step Process To Land Your First Webflow Clients: The Ultimate Guide:https://www.webflail.com/resources/10-step-process-to-land-your-first-webflow-clients-the-ultimate-guideLINKS FOR TOLU‍💻 See Website: https://www.greaterstudio.com/X: https://x.com/tolumhen 🔗 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tolulopeabolarin/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...

Hey, I'm Jack, your failure connoisseur and today, I'm interviewing myself. My guest dropped out last minute, so I'm afraid I am going to be doing episode 106 of Webflail, which is a bit narcissistic. But I wanted to get an episode out there, and I've basically been asked a few times how freelancing is going.It's going okay...But the failures that I want to talk about today are:1. Setting up an emergency fund before quitting your job to go freelancing 2. Cash flow3.
