- Entrepreneurship
Many of us in the Freelance Founders community set out to build businesses that reflect our values. And, that’s where the work really begins. From creating boundaries and establishing processes to building a business rooted in integrity and finding clients you love, these are the ever-evolving struggles that make our work worth it.
Welcome to the first episode of the Freelance Founders podcast. We’re talking to Jess Tran, founder of Scallion Pancake, a purpose-driven brand marketing and influencer consultancy.
Today, Jess chats with us about what it’s like to be a small business owner without a traditional entrepreneurial support system or background, how invaluable it is to practice boundary work and explore your personal values, and how treating herself like an employee has been integral in allowing the rest she needs. We also cover what Jess’s definition of success is, why it doesn’t necessarily have a monetary value, and her mantra that revolves around surrender.
