Posted to How to qualify (and disqualify) client projects – an interview with Bryce Bladon, Mar 21, 2017 Posted to "My name is Vitaly and I am homeless", Dec 25, 2014 If the article is aimed at lifestyle and travel aficionados, then the linkbait article is unnecessary, and even offensive.
Though well written, the article contained little content of interest to me.
Posted to "The quality of your client experiences is directly proportional to the quality of your professionalism." - Andy Rutledge, Dec 25, 2014 Posted to Facebook's new app: Rooms, Oct 25, 2014 Everything old is new again.
Posted to Show DN: Post a link to your Portfolio, Sep 22, 2014 Posted to Ask DN: Should you put your photo on your resume?, Sep 08, 2014 I would love to hear more responses to this question from people who are actually in the position of screening resumes or making hiring decisions and see what their thoughts are.
Posted to Show DN: Harry Potter-style portraits for a digital agency, Aug 16, 2014 Crush + Lovely also did this a while back on their Team page.
Posted to I'm not happy., Aug 11, 2014 Have you considered working for yourself?
Posted to I’m a thinker, not a doer, Aug 11, 2014 It's jarring when we realize we can miss 80% of these things and be no worse off. Time is your only non-renewable resource. Don't squander it.
Posted to So, about that shithole…, Aug 05, 2014 I love the comments on DN. It's interesting to see who gets offended by articles like these. "Methinks the man doth protest too much" ?

I love Bryce's podcast - it's the opposite of Clients From Hell - it's all about getting better clients and being a better freelancer/consultant. Great to hear him on 100k Freelancing.
