In this episode, Fab and our co-host Becca chat about copywriting. We are also joined by copywriter guest Mel Barfield spilling all the beans about why "writing drunk, editing sober" is the creative hack you need. We're diving into authentic content creation, dodging shiny object syndrome, and letting ideas "joyfully fester" into perfection. From freelance tips to social media savvy, this episode's got it all.
