About this listen

Freelance AF is a cheeky peek behind the curtain into the world of being your own boss! Join freelancing friends Sean Kelly (owner and founder of Barrel to Basket, a wine and cider tasting event company) and Michelle Elliott (professional brand photographer, and owner and founder of MEE Photography) as they dive into the nitty gritty of owning a small business. These intrepid hosts cover a range of topics - like crucial steps to starting your own business, the importance of developing your brand, and how to stay organized - all while laughing and drinking, and never taking themselves too seriously. From the corporate world to becoming entrepreneurs, Sean and Michelle share their successes and struggles to help you find your own path to freelance freedom. Whether you're an established business owner, or just starting on your journey, their hope is to impart some semblance of wisdom on you - or at the very least show you what NOT to do! Episodes release weekly and occasionally feature guest interviews with friends and fellow business owners.

So hand in that key card and hit 'send' on your sassy resignation letter, and prepare to be Freelance AF!

    Think bloopers from behind the scenes, a juicy throwback, or the universally adored “here’s my coffee” flex, all easy AF posts you can spin up in minutes and still look like the boss babe you are.

    So take a breath, push past the panic, and let’s give that feed the glow-up it’s been begging for!

  • Episode 26: Season Proofing Mini Episode
    Aug 19 2025

    Your fave Freelancers are back with another snack-sized episode, and this one’s all about Season Proofing!

    Yeah, yeah, we hear you. The sun’s still shining and we’re already talking about the snowy stuff. But like Michelle says: if you’re not planning ahead, you’re planning to panic.

    That means pulling out your old numbers, locking down supplier timelines, and actually getting your marketing together before the rush hits. Take it from us; do it now and future-you will be sipping that pumpkin spice in peace while your business runs smoother than fresh apple cider.

    Basically: prep smart, sell hard, and let’s leave the scrambling to the turkeys.

  • Episode 25: Automation Nation Mini Episode
    Aug 12 2025

    This week, your favourite Freelancers are dropping the first of four snack-sized episodes…because sometimes you just need a quick hit of business wisdom (bizdom?) without the full meal deal.

    Today’s topic? Automation, AKA: “Let the robots do it so you can stop losing your mind.”
    Free up your time and energy for the important stuff, like chasing that next big payday or spiraling about why Netflix keeps cancelling your comfort shows.

    Small biz owners are the ultimate jugglers – CEO, IT, customer service, coffee runner – all before lunch! These automation tips won’t solve everything, but they’ll make that hat collection a little lighter. Take a beat, figure out where automation fits in your workflow, and watch your business (and stress levels) thank you.
