Ep 89 | How to get Webflow clients from Twitter | with Christina Liubynska
5/14/2024
Hello and welcome to episode 89 of Webflail.
I'm your host, Jack, your failure connoisseur, and today my guest is Christina Liubynska.
She is constantly juggling different projects.
With Supercharged, she she helps early stage startups by consulting, designing and developing websites that bring them higher profits and happier clients.
She also freelances with agencies like Nexus Creative with Dylan Harrocks and with ViDesigns with Vimalam Vijayasekaran.
With Navbar Gallery, she’s building the home to the best navbars on the internet. She’s one of those people that’s a multi-talented but for someone as young as Christina is and as talented as she is, she’s pushed her comfort zone a lot.
Naturally, failure has been part of her story just like any successful webflower we have on the pod!
The failures we’ll talk about in today’s episode are:

Ep 88 | How to get consistent Webflow work | with Stephen Wise
5/7/2024
Hello and welcome to episode 88 of Webflail.
I'm your host, Jack, your failure connoisseur, and today my guest is Stephen Wise.
He’s a creator and entrepreneur. He started as a freelance web designer but now he does a range of things like writing, making videos, running his agency, DEMAND FLOW.
He’s obsessed with figuring out how we can live better and build profitable internet businesses.
Demandflow is design and development on demand for different subscription packages.
There are now 7 people in the agency despite only launching in 2022.
So, the agency is moving in the right direction and he seems to be managing to maintain a balanced lifestyle too but has it always been rosy?
The failures that we’ll talk about in today’s episode are:

Ep 87 | How to create a successful side project | with Rob Hope
4/30/2024
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

Ep 86 | 3 key lessons learnt leading teams at Webflow, Twitter and Cloudflare | with Jess Rosenberg
4/23/2024
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

Ep 85 | Accenture employees to Webflow Enterprise Agency Founders | with Tim Janes & Dan Foster
4/15/2024
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

Ep 84 | Getting clients on Upwork to re-building Upwork's website | with Uros Mikic
4/8/2024
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?

Episode 83 | How to learn by doing Webflow | with Kayleigh Flaherty
4/4/2024
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:
So, embrace and learn from failure in episode 83 of the podcast with Kayleigh Flaherty

Ep 82 | How have Digidop become the no 1 Webflow agency in France? | with Florian Bodelot
3/26/2024
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:
So, embrace and learn from failure in episode 82 of webflail with Florian

Episode 81 | Results from 100 days of designs | with Erin Fleming
3/19/2024
Today my guest is Erin Fleming. Now Erin came to my attention because she was doing the most outrageous challenge. 100 days of posting her work and she was cranking out designs on the daily. From it, she’s gained amost 1000 followers, got a freelance client and gained some friends along the way. She’s now building Storefront.design. The best best Digital Storefronts on the Internet. Period.
Her story is fascinating as you’re about to hear - she left corporate finance to become a digital designer
Were there bumps in the road?! Of course! The failures we'll talk about today are:

Ep 80 | Hardware store worker to web app agency owner | With James Abad
3/15/2024
Today, my guest is James Abad. You may know James from making killer work for Black Peak, the team behind Wized that recently got acquired by Finsweet.
He worked there for two years, and in that time, Black Peak went from being a team of three to 20 people. A few months ago, he said goodbye to Blackpeak to follow a new path where he created his own agency with Alier, otherwise known as Ald, Gallardo.
The agency is called Produlis to produce scalable web apps with Webflow.
But although he's had an almighty rise, he's also had some setbacks along the way. The failures that we'll talk about are:

Ep 79 | Learning to price Webflow projects correctly after over 250+ clients | With John D Saunders
3/5/2024
I'm your host, Jack, your failure connoisseur, and today my guest is John D Suanders. Now you’ve probably heard this intro before: What is good y’all, John D Saunders here, you know the vibes. He’s a Web Designer and Founder at 5Four Digital and an Automation Expert with a decade of experience building brands online. Over more than 10 years, agency has worked with 250+ startups so pretty prolific. But what’s possibly most impressive about John is his content creation. He’s done over 150 videos on YouTube amassing more than half a million views and that’s actually where I first came across him. He’s got a course called Agency Growth Accelerator. And this is all while being a dad too.
As you probably know if you listen to this podcast regularly, success comes with some face plants along the way. The failures that we’ll talk about today are:

Ep 78 | How to become a thriving freelance after almost 100 Webflow projects | With Grace Walker
2/27/2024
Hello and welcome to episode 78 of Webflail.
Today my guest is Grace Walker. If you’re interested in the Webflow space, you no doubt know her already - she has over six years of design experience and almost years of successful freelancing, she’s launched nearly 100 marketing sites for my clients. She’s a web designer and webflow developer that, besides being known for her clean designs and thoughtfully constructed websites, has an exceptionally pleasing twitter aesthetic. Grace shares glimpses of her minimalist home, nature on her road biking adventures and obviously stunning work. She’s just released her own course called “Fast Forward Freelance course,” for freelancers aspiring to have a thriving freelance practice which includes resources, hours of video content and office hours too.
Life seems pretty rosy. But is that true? And has it been smooth sailing on the journey? he failures we’ll discuss today are:

As one third of No code north, a keen visual designer and developer and data base and API integrationer, he’s no slouch in the webflow space. Fascinatingly though, Jeremy has had an unusual path to Webflow development. He came to web design and development form working in the Entertainment industry as a writer / director. He’s also the founder of countryeverywhere which celebratingLGBTQ+, BIPOC, & Disabled Country music communities.
A fascinating podcast ahead. The failures we’ll discuss today are:

Ep 76 | From being fired by clients to creating an enterprise agency | With Jacob Sussman
2/13/2024
Today my guest is Jacob Sussman, CEO and co-founder of BX Studio. Now BX studio is interesting - it’s a webflow exclusive agency. They offer custom development, site migration, and ongoing maintenance and support services. Now what’s wild is that the studio launched in January 2022. Since then, BX studio has not only become a webflow enterprise partner, but has also created award winning work with brands in a variety of industries such as Headspace, Zipline and Square Roots. That’s mental health, drones and vertical farming. You may have seen Jacob talk about the most recent Webflow conf, or seen him on Twitter where very active.
As anyone who has seen Taylor Swift’s documentary though, a meterioric rise to fame and fortune doesn’t come without it’s sacrifices and head in hand moments.

Ep 75 | Losing 200K to co-founding Relume | With Dan Anisse
2/6/2024
Welcome to Episode 75 of Webflail with Daniel Anisse.
As anyone that listens to this podcast knows, Relume originally formed as an agency but since then, Relume has evolved into a product company that provides tools and resources used by thousands of Figma designers & Webflow developers including icons, the component library, the ai site builder and more. However, few people will know that Dan is a man after my own heart - a lover of failure that has tried and failed to kick start over 20 business ideas. I say a lover of failure not from a snarky place at all - it is from a place of deep respect. In fact, Dan wrote an article called “Beautiful Failure,” in which he wrote:
”No one ever achieved anything if they didn’t dare to start. I know… you have failed in the past… BUT remember how you felt when you gave in and got a full-time job — it was one of the worst feelings in the world”
I am extremely excited to dig in to the failures we’ll talk about in today’s episode which are:
1: Losing $200k in a clothing business
2: Failing to kick start over 20 business ideas
3: ‘Almost’ closing Relume Agency (Dec 2020)

Ep 74 | Why choosing the right business partner changes everything for new agencies | With Goodside Studio
1/30/2024
Welcome to Episode 74 of Webflail with Goodside Studio.
Today my guests are Danielle Laroy and Jessica Strelioff. These two are long time creative collaborators but came together more formally last year to launch Goodside Studio. The ethos was: "One part visual. One part verbal. Weaving colour, concept, and copy into cohesive brand systems that scale.” Wait what? What does that mean? Well, Jessica is a brand identity designer with over 10 years experience working with the likes of Asana, Yahoo, Google and agencies such as Upperquad, Farm Design and Paladar. Danielle is a wordsmith that has smithed words for the likes of Patagonia, Robinhood and Google. To give you a taste of her wordsmithing, her website homepage says: Strategy with soul, Copy with character, Brands you want to hang out with. Alliteration for the nation.
Has it all been as smooth as the words “copy with character" would suggest though? You guessed it. No it hasn’t.
The failures we’ll talk about in today’s episode are:

Ep 73 | How to get your dream Webflow agency job | With Michael Riddering
1/23/2024
Welcome to Episode 73 of Webflail with Michael Riddering.
Now if you’re in the Webflow space, I have no doubt you’ve seen Michael around but on the off-chance that my mum is listening and won’t know who he is, he is the founder of Figma Academy where he has taught over 4000 designers. He’s also the creator of dive club where the best designers never stop learning - there are a series of courses there from Michael but other designers too, and he also has a podcast called Deep Dives, where he interviews the most prolific designers in the space. Before this, he was the founding designer at Maven, an online, cohort based learning platform.
The failures we’ll talk about in today’s episode are:
1) Pre-selling a SaaS platform for my startup to extend runway.
2) Designing maven onboarding.
3) Launched @joindiveclub as a school but tbh I couldn't get it to work.

Ep 72 | How Henry lost his first 10k Client... And now works with Ali Abdaal | With Henry Ludlam-Steinke
1/15/2024
Welcome to Episode 72 of Webflail with Henry Ludlam-Steinke .
Henry is a london based Webflower that is particularly talented at design. Hen-ry.com says it all - clean fonts, shimmering gradients, 3D animations is the name of the game to create elegant, flowing and pleasing websites. Despite being a young gun in the Webflow space, Henry has worked with YouTube greats like Ali Abdaal and Jamie Rawsthorne as well as start ups too. Fun facts - Henry wears caps a lot, he’s currently digital nomading around (in turkey at the time of this call) and he’s bullish on learning spline.
As with anyone that’s working with these type of clients and making saucy work this early on in their journey, Henry has had some highs and lows so far.
The failures we’ll talk about in today’s episode are:

Ep 71 | Why Johnnie walked away from an agency he built for 10 years | With Johnnie Gomez
1/9/2024
Welcome to Episode 71 of Webflail with Johnnie Gómez .
He’s Staff Brand Designer, Web at Webflow but before joining webflow in 2019, he ran a digital agency together with my business partner for the last decade. They worked with all sorts of clients in all kinds of projects including fashion campaigns, ads, branding, store design & signage, web design and development, mailing and drip campaigns. ANYTHING CREATIVE, JOHNNIE HAS DONE IT.
Kevin arleo:
“Johnnie is that kind of people that is hard to find. There is no need to say that he is an amazing, chameleon-like designer that can do any type of work with brilliance because his work speaks for himself. But the thing is, that Johnnie is an incredible human being with a great sense of empathy. I have never seen someone who cares so much for his coworkers and the design community. He is always willing to teach and learn from others. His energy and kindness are contagious. My advice for anyone considering working with Johnnie would be: DO IT, don't miss that opportunity.”
The failures that we will talk about today are:
Scaling his 10-year old agency in Argentina, or NOT doing this.Trying to freelance but bellyflopping and drowning.Not understanding cultural implications👀 Check out Showcased today

Ep 70 | "They Wanted My Business To Scale To Millions" - Why transitioning into Webflow was 'Make or Break' for this Studio Owner | With Geenay Kotze
1/2/2024
Welcome to Episode 70 of Webflail with Geenay Kotze.
Geenay is someone I'm seeing more and more on social media, sharing behind the scenes of client work and sharing thoughts about being a founder. She's a South African living and working in London and she's tearing it up. She is building her freelancer business out, her studio Consortium, which she's the founder of. She's a UX UI designer by training and a full stack designer by trade. She's helped hundreds of businesses across the UK, US, UAE and more to develop their existing customer experience and more importantly, generate new ones. But as we know, as with anyone that has got to the level of success that Janay has, there have been some failures along the way.
The failures that we will talk about today are:
Struggling to focus on the core business and staying consistentBuilding and getting involved in online communityExpanding her studio👀 Check out Showcased today
