Maybe you won't get a response, but maybe you will.” (14:08-14:14)• “As you get bigger, busier and more established, I think you shouldn't be afraid to continue to find the things that could be the next step for you.” (18:00-18:10)• “As a freelancer, you need to show something for yourself. It doesn't matter if you've written for a publication, a brand, a newspaper, or a website, you just need something to show for yourself because everybody's always going to ask for some sort of clip.” (36:29-36:44)• “You also need to do some research.
