In today's episode, we sit down with Ben, a veteran of the audio and music world who spent over 15 years building a successful freelance career across a wide range of creative services — from composing music for commercials and online content to editing podcasts, performing at events, and even designing immersive sound for virtual reality experiences. Ben shares how freelancing in a gig-based industry forced him to become endlessly adaptable, constantly learning new tools, skills, and systems to manage his solo business.

Over time, the admin and operational load — juggling websites, newsletters, social media, invoices, contracts, and more — became overwhelming. Realizing there was no single tool that made it easier for independent creatives like himself to manage everything in one place, Ben co-founded Full Scope, an all-in-one platform built for freelancers.

In this conversation, he shares the evolution of his career, the pain points that led to Full Scope’s creation, and what freelancers really need to succeed when starting out or looking to scale: clarity on their offer, a simple but strong online presence, and systems that support — not slow down — their creative work. Whether you're just starting a freelance business or looking to streamline how you work, Ben’s journey offers practical insights and inspiration.
