95 Social's Small Business Podcast

Today I delivered a workshop at Ayrshire College all about freelancing for students. I was invited by Bridge2Business (bridge2business.org.uk) & IPSE (ipse.co.uk).

Really really enjoyed speaking at Bridge2Bridge’s event this morning! A little different to the other talks you will have heard from me so I hope you enjoy it :) Would love to hear your feedback, drop me an email jack@95Social.co.uk

My ENTIRE presentation from yesterday's Scottish Networking show by Hashtag Events. This talk goes into nice detail for small business owners and it naturally turned into a bit of a Q&A so we got into some specifics!
