2 - Freelance Benefits Part 1

All too often we're sold the idea that creative professionals need to base themselves in the right major cities to thrive. But what about the rest of us? This episode is recorded in Australia; not from Sydney or Melbourne, but from Wagga Wagga, a small country town in New South Wales. We talk with Matt Beaver, a successful freelance photographer about giving up a metro-based career for an unlikely place and the benefits it can bring. Feel encouraged, and inspired to make wherever you are based geographically work for you.

If you wrote your own job description, what benefits would the role provide, and would those benefits be acceptable or even legal in the real world? In this episode specifically aimed at self-employed creatives, we look at the benefits full-time employees take for granted and ask if we are overlooking them in our own career. And for those in full time roles, this is a great opportunity to thinking about what benefits you currently received with a newfound gratitude.

The Christmas break is over and most of the world is dreading returning to work. Recorded on New Year's Eve moment's before fireworks started going off, we discuss why and how we can look forward to work with practical steps to get us ready for 2019.

What is the Creative Tea Break? We (Meg and Dylan) explain the hopes behind it and a little about ourselves. If you're new to this podcast, this episode is a perfect place to start; we'd love to have you on board.
