    Episode 22: The Myth of Competition with Adam Faulkner

    Episode 22: The Myth of Competition with Adam Faulkner

    In this episode of The Hustlers Manifesto podcast, I interview Adam Faulkner, a proud freelance business owner and creator of the "Be FreelanceAF" course. Adam shares his journey of founding his freelance video production business "CreativeAF" at the beginning of the pandemic in 2020 and how he hasn't looked back since. We discuss the importance of creating opportunities for yourself, the myth of competition, and the power of building genuine relationships in your network.

    Adam is a proud freelance business owner and creator of the "Be FreelanceAF" course. His calling has always been working for himself, having entrepreneurial parents. He founded his freelance video production business "CreativeAF" at the beginning of the pandemic in 2020 and hasn’t looked back since. He creates video content that in-house teams can't and has worked with some incredible international clients. His mission now is helping the next wave of freelancers achieve freelance success. That's why he created the "Be FreelanceAF" course, showing freelancers how to turn their expertise into a freelance business success, create efficient systems that save time and money, and go from "regular" freelancer to standout freelancer.

She's built an amazing company that helps freelancers build their businesses and find the right clients.
