Hello and welcome to Scope Creep! In this (first-ever) episode we're getting into what freelance life actually looks like when you're scattered across time zones - with Christine fresh off a Manhattan sublet, and Victoria bouncing between London and Cape Town - as well as the very real struggle of building a client base somewhere new when your whole network is elsewhere.

We compare notes on how Americans, Irish, Brits, and South Africans each handle being "sold to," and land on the same conclusion: relationships and patience beat the hard sell every time. We also chat about the LinkedIn lead-gen experiments we're each throwing money at right now. (Stay tuned for whether either of us actually makes it pay off!)
