indie business club is the podcast for independent creatives, hosted by us… Mel Barfield and Ben McKinney.

It’s for anyone forging their own career path. Or anyone who wants to one day.

We'll talk about the highs and lows of working for yourself, the pitfalls and pleasures of the ultimate freedom - being truly charge of your own diary. You’ll get anecdotes, advice (sometimes conflicting, fair warning) and a bit of company while you work.

We’re both copywriters who’ve earnt our stripes freelancing.

Ben co-owns a copywriting agency, Copy Or Die. He’s also run a successful window cleaning business for over a decade, and he’s picked up more than just a squeegee.

Mel’s a qualified careers advisor who’s studied the theory behind how we navigate the world of work. She also writes for Freelancer Magazine.

We’ll discuss a whole range of issues that impact independent creatives.
