Webflail Jack Redley

Episode 87 of the Webflail podcast is with Rob Hope! Yo! Podcast creator, One Page Love Founder and prolific creator with over 15 other projects that were either sold or slowed...

Rob was a freelancer for a decade designing and building websites for clients BUT HE NOTICED A PROBLEM

Clients used adjectives to describe what they wanted for websites but there wasn’t Godly or Landing Love like there is now.

So Rob started collecting website references to show to clients

As you may have guessed, this led to the creation of ONE Page Love. Since 2008, he’s curated over 8,000 single page websites.

Now Rob is a prolific creator.

He’s started dozens of other projects from hosting companies to audio recording apps, to domain names to a Music social network and blog creator called Rock Lifestyle.

Of course, some worked, some didn’t.

One Page love has been far from smooth sailing too. If you are one of the OGs that’s listened to 86 episodes of the pod, you know some of the most successful people have had some of the most epic fails…

The failiures we’ll talk about in this episode are:
1) Starting a hosting company
2) Going all in on one stream of monetization on One Page Love
3) Hiring someone full time when it wasn’t right

Today my guest is Jess Rosenberg. Jess is an obscenely talented individual.

Jess is a design & creative leader, designer, manager, ideas person with 18+ years of experience helping brands tell their stories in differentiated and breakthrough ways.

You may know her because she was the director of Brand Design & Creative at ​Webflow​ - she scaled Brand Studio team from 8 to 18 in under two years.

She’s worked at Twitter, Cloudflare, Mural, Webflow and her ideas and leadership have influenced many tools and products you use today which is wild.

And she’s just launched a podcast called Ladies Who Create with ​Liz Meyer ​which is excellent with guests such as ​Grace Walker​, ​Jessica Strelioff​ & ​Danielle LaRoy​ and ​Steph Jeong​

Basically, she’s a big deal.

The failures we discuss are:

1) Desiring to be liked by everyone as a manager early on
2) Imposter syndrome
3) Being hands on in the work

Today my guests are Tim Janes and Dan Foster, co-founders of MakeBuild Studio - a design and innovation studio from London in the UK.

Tim’s background as a visual designer and Dan’s background digital designer and UX consultant meant these 2 were a power duo when starting Makebuild 4 years ago.

Though they have designed and built a lotttt of Webflow websites, they have also been experimenting emerging technologies like AR. In fact, recently, they made an AR project with Fruitella - the sweet brand. To help launch a new jelly sweets, they created a world and then select a creature which you could see in your living room on your phone screen.

Makebuild have recently hired Liam Mews and Greg Faulkner so they’re flying high and growing a team but we want to know about how they got here don’t we?!

The failures that we’ll talk about in this episode are:
1) Not scaling up the team early enough
2) Not niching down early enough
3) Not focusing on producing great work

Today my guest is Uros Mikic. He’s Founder and CEO of Flow Ninja Studio, an award-winning Webflow agency working with clients like Upwork.
Since 2015, they have successfully led more than 100+ Webflow projects worldwide.
He has a team of 40 people and his team is in Serbia. They have products like Data Goat, Six Star App & more
At the 2023 Webflow London meetup, Uros introduced me to Rakia which, I later found out, gives terrible hangovers.
He has a killer YT channel where he shares stories behind building in-house team of 40 people and how you can leverage website strategy and Webflow to grow your digital presence.
But how is he so driven? And what ups and downs has he had on route to success?
The failures we'll talk about in today's episode are:
Scaling the team too fast - track numbers and profitabilityManagement style - how bad a manager he isThe office - one of ROIOPTIBASE

Today my guest is Kayleigh Flaherty. She's a Webflow developer located on Long Island, New York. And if you need a reminder who she is, she was part of the killer duo with KC Katalbas for the Slater Game Challenge, obviously. 

And she made an incredible game called "Debug," which she was in the top three for that challenge for, but what I'm trying to say is that Kayleigh is extremely talented. And although she's not posting every day on, on Twitter and LinkedIn and stuff, she is doing amazing work every single day.
She's so super, super busy. And in fact, organizing this interview was really hard because she's so busy. She's doing so much work.
She's worked for Blackpeak and Ammo Studio, but she's also got her own individual clients too. She's flying high, but has it always been this way?
The failures that we're going to talk about are:
Learning for too long and not actually jumping into the client work itselfRelying on one agency for workaccounting for her time properlySo, embrace and learn from failure in episode 83 of the podcast with Kayleigh Flaherty

Today my guest is Florian Bodelot. 

He is the co-founder of Digidop. He met his co-founder, Thomas Labonne, in school and they thought wow there's an opportunity with the no code space in France. It wasn't so well known so they doubled down on a tool called Webflow which you may have heard of.
And since then, they're like a runaway train. These guys are now a Webflow professional partner, Client First certified. And in 2023, they won professional partner of the year. The rise has been pretty dramatic for Digidop. After translating Client First documentation for FinSuite a couple of years ago, they have seriously leveled up their game, growing a team and doubling down on content creation too. They have their own YouTube channel, TikTok, Instagram. These guys are going in on content, which we'll also talk about today.‍
So has it all no pain au chocolat on their journey to Digidop domination for these frenchmen? Of course not.
The failures that we'll talk about today are:
Believing saying no to clients meant losing opportunitiestwo, selling features over benefitsforgetting how sport was making Florian a better man.So, embrace and learn from failure in episode 82 of webflail with Florian
