Per Our Last EmailThey Kept Calling ft. Lina Cordero of Onlychild DesignToday’s episode kicks off with Lina Cordero of Onlychild Design, a branding and design studio, and we’re OBSESSED WITH HER… as you’ll be able to tell in this ep. 🤩 We’re continuing our theme of college cocktails this month (much to Elle’s distaste LOL), and drinking jager bombs we’ve called “Bomb Dot Com” — an ode to feeling of having amazing projects you’re proud of — and slightly wishing we were drinking palomas like Lina was. But, we digress. Lina talks about how and why she started Onlychild Design (um, hint… in her last corporate job, she was L...2022-09-131h 15Per Our Last EmailLet's Call Her BillWe’re back with a STORIES EPISODE! But, tbh, we’re only really halfway back — AKA, Arabela forgot to make the cocktails & we had to pause to, well… make them. If you needed an insight into what our lives are looking like right now, there you go 😂 We’re kicking off with a couple of tinto de veranos, a Spanish wine cocktail that we had literally every single day while filming our @domestika course in Spain. While we start sipping, we catch up by talking about Elle and her husband’s ~faux whole 30,~ Arabela’s new position as a cat lady, AND...2022-08-081h 00Per Our Last EmailDon't You Remember Me?You guys know there are few things we love more than a great stories episode, and we’re starting off this week’s with a bang (AKA… stories). We’re diving in over citrusy cocktails named “Can I Pay You With (Sun) Exposure?” and cuddling with Elle’s new dog Cooper, who says hello at the beginning of the episode. (Bringing light to the clients who ask to pay you in exposure, ya know?) In this episode we hear about a freelancer who ended up doing a 12-hour trial shift — ugh, unpaid, of course — for an assistant job, a story that...2022-06-211h 18Per Our Last EmailI'm Never Going To See That Money ft. Alex BaxterAnd we’re BAAAAAAACK! On this week’s episode, we’re finally welcoming our hilarious Scottish friend Alex Baxter (whose accent we LOVE, as you’ll hear). We’re diving in over tequila guava nectar cocktails we’ve concocted called “You Guava Be Kidding Me,” AKA how we’re all going to respond to anyone who annoys us from now on. Alex has been a longtime IG friend and POLE star (we’ve shared a couple of his stories on the pod already, like a two-word response he got after sending a proposal: Too expensive.), and we had so much freakin’...2022-05-311h 23Per Our Last EmailRevisiting Now Rachel, I'm Poor...…Honestly, there are no words.Do you all go and search for the weirdest clients ever, just to entice us? Are you forever in the pursuit of a good meme?Actually, don’t answer that.We can’t really “allude” to anything in this episode, without just blatantly calling it out. It’s a stories episode. There are mentions - nay, allegations - of instances of hormonal imbalances, 💩 clipart, “can you turn this word document into a website?” and Michael Scott Paper Company-esque set ups.Told you.Like literally, a client asked a flourishing busines...2022-05-2356 minPer Our Last EmailRevisiting I Could Have Made This In 5 Min ft. Elliot UlmIt’s true. @elliotisacoolguy.A very cool guy.A guy who runs a flourishing creative business, but a guy who isn’t very good at freelancing, nonetheless.Yeah, we said it. (only because he did 👀)In fact, Elliot is such a cool guy, he decided to join the coolest podcast on earth (that’s us), to discuss all of the incredibly important things about being a freelancer.You know, things like his love for Caramel Macchiatos, and our dialogue on lattes vs. french press, backyard kangaroos that’ll punch you, ginormous spiders (i.e., “husband” spid...2022-05-162h 14Per Our Last EmailRevisiting The Spoon SpielRemember that time you paid your rent in popsicle sticks?No?Well, what about spoons?Still no?Weird, because we could’ve SWORN that it was considered socially acceptable to pay for the important things in life with inanimate objects. Just like it’s okay to pay for creative work (i.e., photography) with anything other than money, right?*scream cough scream cough*Yeah so, someone had the audacity to attempt to reason with someone else that paying for work with their spoons was acceptable. Thousands of dollars’ worth of spoons. That’s a lot of...2022-05-091h 05Per Our Last EmailSue Me For What? ft. Claire Xue of MoodelierOn this week’s episode, we’re welcoming our longtime friend and fellow creative, Claire Xue of Moodelier! Over mezcal hibiscus sours we’ve named “Taking Care of Business” we dove in quickly to talk about everything from insecurities and old stories to enneagrams and Reddit. We looooove a tangent! We have been wanting to get Claire onto the podcast for a long time, so it was so freakin’ fun to hear more about her start with Moodelier, the things she’s learned as a creative and a brand owner, and taking risks in business. We heard about a situati...2022-05-021h 32Per Our Last EmailMore Like The Rolling StonesWe are the living embodiment of the “story time! WAKE UP!” TikTok sound this week, because we have some goooood stories to share… including some of our own! We’re pouring up a beer, whiskey, and shandy cocktail called “Feeling Dandy” and diving right on in with two different brands and sites who have hijacked the heck out of our images here recently and then absolutely destroyed them with some truly, truly #terrible Photoshop action. Ah. Nothing like the sweet smell of copyright infringement. In this stories ep, you’ll get to hear some good ole’ pain-in-the-ass client stories...2022-04-251h 07Per Our Last EmailYou Can't Wear Shorts ft. Megan GalanteThis week, we’re so freakin’ honored to have artist Megan Galante on! We’re keeping with our beer month theme, and dove right into this convo alongside a half Guinness, half cider cocktail we coined “The DM Slitherer.” This episode kicks off with a little fangirling, a quick Anna Delvey tangent, and all things wine (we love an off topic moment, ok?!) — before we start digging into Megan’s journey. She’s such a cheerleader for others, which we LOVE, and it was so fun to hear about how she merged her passion for mixing art and interiors into a...2022-04-191h 18Per Our Last EmailYou Should Get Paid For This ft. Keegan EvansThis week on the pod, we’re diving deep with Keegan Evans, a photo and video content creator and educator (and one of our fav follows, always!). We’re drinking beer cocktails again, a la micheladas we’ve called “Chel-of-a-lada Money,” even though… Arabela isn’t a beer gal and Keegan went rogue with a mojito. The sacrifices we make for the pod. 😅 On this episode, we started with Keegan’s origin story as the founder of a high-protein waffle business, and how it led him to finding his true passion… AKA, product photography. We dove deep into all things small...2022-04-111h 32Per Our Last EmailToo ExpensiveWe’ve been absolutely living for the stories episodes lately, and today we’re giving you another jam- (and humor-) packed ep full of ‘em! After we both give you a WebMD update on our lives, we’re kickin’ off a new month with beer-inspired cocktails. This one is a root beer float situation with chocolate ice cream (!!!), aptly named “Rooting for You.” On this episode, you’ll get to hear a wild medley of freelancer perfect storms, as you do. From a bizarre photo trip featuring kitchen rats and a pirate trip to a marketing bro (ugh) who “hates worki...2022-04-0456 min
