  • When you’re feeling conflicted about AI
    Feb 5 2026

    In this episode, Frankie Tortora and Steve Folland have a chat in response to a question from career coach for parents at The Balance Collective, Clara Wilcox.

    She says:

    “I'm unapologetically anti-AI for a whole load of reasons — ethical, against the ‘big bro tech boys’, and the way they steal information to train it etc. But how do you work and promote yourself in a world that seems so pro-AI without sounding like a Luddite?”

  • When you're struggling to get going
    Jan 15 2026

    In this episode, Frankie Tortora and Steve Folland have a chat in response to a question from career and worklife coach Vicki Kirk.

    She says:

    “Hi Frankie & Steve,

    Is it just me that is finding it really hard to get going again this new year? Normally I’m all for diving into the planning / organising / new year-ing but this year I just want to curl up under the duvet!

    There’s a few reasons behind it (potential big family stuff on the horizon, a bit burnt out from last year, not entirely sure where I want to go with my business this year) but with a to-do list the length of my arm, I’d really like to find some motivation soon!

    Anyone else feeling like this? Any words of wisdom?”

  • When someone offers to buy you out
    Nov 13 2025

    In this episode, Frankie Tortora and Steve Folland have a chat in response to a question from Anonymous. They say:

    “Hi Frankie & Steve,

    I’ve been working freelance for an agency for a while now and have a good relationship with them. They’ve asked me to consider them buying me out of my company and coming on board as a director of their company instead, as effectively a partner.

    How should I consider this? Should I consider this?!

    What should I include in my thinking? How do I value my company?”
