From finance lawyer in Malta to FinTech copywriter in Edinburgh — André Spiteri’s freelancing story is full of risk, reinvention, and real talk.
In this episode, André shares how he went from a corporate job he hated to building a sustainable freelance writing business.
He talks honestly about the pressures of starting out, the mindset shift that came with success, and why the freedom of freelancing can sometimes be the hardest part.
You’ll hear:
Why André quit law and moved to London with no plan
His cold-pitching mindset and why, against the usual freelancer advice, he doesn’t follow up
What changed when he embraced being himself on social media
How community and a mastermind group made a huge difference
The surprising thing he found most challenging about freelance life
What he’d tell his younger self after 10 years in business
It's a fun, sometimes sweary story of escaping corporate life.
