    I’m your host, Jack, your failure connoisseur, and today I’m joined by the one and only Jonathan Morin, better known in the Webflow world as Jo Mor. Joe is a standout designer and developer, whose work beautifully blends storytelling, sharp design, and smooth development into something truly unique. I first met Joe at Webflow Conf in London, where we had a memorable moment—twerking together while Melissa Mendez filmed us. Beyond the moves, Joe is an award-winning designer with a knack for combining aesthetic brilliance and technical precision. His site, jomor.design, is a testament to his skills and the waves he’s making in the design world. And if you’ve seen his hilarious talk at Webflow Conf, you already know his energy is unmatched. But today, we’re not just here to admire Joe’s successes. We’re diving into the trials and lessons that have shaped his journey. In this episode, we’ll explore: Prioritizing money over meaningful work and its hidden costs.Selling a service he couldn’t deliver—and the weekend he won’t forget.Battling negative self-talk and the quest for self-compassion.This is going to be an honest, raw, and insightful conversation packed with lessons for anyone navigating the creative industry. 00:00 Introduction and Guest Introduction 01:52 Discussing Failure and Personal Growth 06:05 Insights on Design and Development 11:01 Advice for Aspiring Web Designers 26:57 Balancing Work and Personal Life 40:39 A Challenging Project 45:01 The Weekend Nightmare 47:06 Lessons Learned from Failure 49:19 The Importance of Transparency 55:06 Balancing Ambition and Self-Compassion WEBFLAIL FREEBIES 10 Step Process To Land Your First Webflow Clients: The Ultimate Guide: https://www.webflail.com/resources/10-step-process-to-land-your-first-webflow-clients-the-ultimate-guide LINKS FOR JO ‍💻 See Website: https://www.jomor.design/ 🔗 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/iamjomor/ TRY OUT WEBFLOW 🚀https://webflow.grsm.io/webflail‍ CONNECT WITH WEBFLAIL 📬 Subscribe to the newsletter: https://webflail.ck.page/8a5e37bca6 🐦 Connect on Twitter: https://twitter.com/JackRedley1 SAY THANKS 💜 Leave a review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast... 💜 Leave a rating on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5834...

    Ep 114 | €50 an hour to... Learning to value your own work | Camille Di Vincenzo & Ellina Chhay

    I’m your host, Jack, your failure connoisseur, and today we’ve got a special double-bill episode with the brilliant duo, Camille Di Vincenzo & Ellina Chhay. These two are powerhouse no-code and low-code experts who bring years of experience in Webflow and beyond, helping to build a better internet together. I first heard about Camille and Ellina through Théo Roland from the French Webflow community, who insisted I invite them on Webflail. And wow, am I glad I did! Both of them have extensive knowledge not just in the Webflow ecosystem but across various tools that make the no-code space so vibrant. Together, they’ve also been fostering an amazing sense of community through initiatives like Webflow Co-living, where professionals gather in inspiring locations to connect, collaborate, and grow. From board game nights to quizzes, these retreats are redefining the way Webflow enthusiasts bond and learn from each other. In this episode, we’ll dig into six failures—three from each of these incredible guests. These failures include: For Ellina: Not qualifying prospects and accepting all calls without distinction.Underpricing her services and struggling to value her work.Accepting too many clients and underestimating project deadlines.And for Camille: Failing to set boundaries with customers and friends.Avoiding complicated projects that could push her to grow.Hesitating to ask questions in the Webflow community out of fear of judgment.These two have a wealth of insights to share about failure, resilience, and how to keep leveling up in this industry. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro, you’re going to learn so much from this conversation. 00:00 Introduction and Personal Journey 00:27 Meet the Guests: Alina and Camille 01:32 Failures and Lessons Learned 03:25 The Importance of Networking 07:29 Co-living and Community Building 24:06 Balancing Rates and Workload 26:31 Respecting Boundaries with Clients 29:42 Pricing Structures and Client Communication 33:05 Overcoming Fear of Complex Projects 41:00 Embracing Failure and Community Support WEBFLAIL FREEBIES 10 Step Process To Land Your First Webflow Clients: The Ultimate Guide: https://www.webflail.com/resources/10-step-process-to-land-your-first-webflow-clients-the-ultimate-guide LINKS FOR CAMILLE & ELLINA ‍💻 See Website: https://www.camilledivincenzo.com/ 🔗 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/camille-di-vincenzo/ ‍💻 See Website: https://nocodesecrets.substack.com/ 🔗 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ellina-chhay-%E9%99%88%E5%A8%9C-automatisation-nocode-ia/ TRY OUT WEBFLOW 🚀https://webflow.grsm.io/webflail‍ CONNECT WITH WEBFLAIL 📬 Subscribe to the newsletter: https://webflail.ck.page/8a5e37bca6 🐦 Connect on Twitter: https://twitter.com/JackRedley1 SAY THANKS 💜 Leave a review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast... 💜 Leave a rating on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5834...

    Ep 110 | How to grow confidence to charge more | with Zena Potter

    Hello and welcome to episode 110 of Webflail. I'm your host, Jack, your failure connoisseur, and today my guest is Zena Potter. Since 2022, she's been working as a freelance web designer and Webflow developer. She creates websites that attract, engage, and convert your target audience. But basically, she works with All sorts of different clients. She's worked with FinTech clients. She's worked with physiotherapy clients. She's done a lot of different websites in different industries before freelancing. She's worked in project management and PA consulting. So I think what's interesting about her is that she knows the client process really well, which I think a lot of web flows actually don't know as well as they need to. We'll talk a little bit about that in this episode. Another thing that we'll talk about is. Xena's approach to marketing herself as a freelancer. Alongside showing her work, she also shows behind the scenes like hiking, brunch, talking about things broader than just Webflow. So interesting to note there at the start of this episode too. But has it all been easy breezy for Zena? Of course not. The failures that we'll talk about today are: 1) Not LinkedIn/networking 2) Undercharging in cases where she could have charged more but lack the confidence 3) Not establishing a routine as a freelancer 00:00 Introduction and Initial Struggles 00:28 Meet the Guest: Zena Potter 01:37 Discussing Failures and Challenges 04:58 Networking and Overcoming Isolation 12:21 Project Management Skills in Freelancing 16:12 Learning and Transitioning to Web Design 17:46 Getting Clients and Marketing Strategies 22:32 Importance of LinkedIn and Networking 26:29 Building Connections as a Freelancer 27:20 The Importance of LinkedIn Marketing 28:23 Being Authentic Online 29:29 Consistency and Engagement on Social Media 31:58 The Slow Process of Gaining Clients 35:23 The Struggle with Pricing 39:00 Learning to Charge What You're Worth 46:23 Balancing Fun and Financial Goals 49:30 Establishing a Routine as a Freelancer 53:56 Future Challenges and Boundaries WEBFLAIL FREEBIES 10 Step Process To Land Your First Webflow Clients: The Ultimate Guide: https://www.webflail.com/resources/10-step-process-to-land-your-first-webflow-clients-the-ultimate-guide LINKS FOR ZENA ‍💻 See Website: https://www.zenadesigns.co.uk/ 🔗 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/zena-potter/ TRY OUT WEBFLOW 🚀https://webflow.grsm.io/webflail‍ CONNECT WITH WEBFLAIL 📬 Subscribe to the newsletter: https://webflail.ck.page/8a5e37bca6 🐦 Connect on Twitter: https://twitter.com/JackRedley1 SAY THANKS 💜 Leave a review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast... 💜 Leave a rating on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5834...

Check out his work at BAMOJ—that's B-A-M-O-J dot com. The site is incredible, showcasing top-tier work. I first came across BMO’s work on Twitter, or as it's now called, "X," where he shared some remarkable projects. His ability to blend Webflow with GSAP animations is something you don’t see often in the Webflow space. Bimo is an Awwwards judge, a professional Webflow partner, and a pioneer in pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with Webflow and GSAP. But today’s episode isn’t just about his awards and amazing projects—it’s also about his journey through failure to reach this level of success.
