This time, Steve finds out what it's like being freelance for presenter Gema Enseñat: how she went from secondary school teacher to TV host and announcer, then self-styled her own direction as a craft blogger. Includes: finding your specialism and not letting finances run the show. Oh, and her dog.

Don't forget to subscribe via iTunes and the Podcast app for iPhone etc and also via Stitcher who have an Android app, or scroll down and download from here - If you like the podcast, please do leave a review if you get a chance.

Here’s some of the key takeaway points:

• Being freelance is a lifestyle choice, not just a career, remember the great flexibility in your day

• Try out a new 'career' on the side first without the pressure of having to bring in the money

• Don't be scared to apply for things and make connections, you've got to put yourself out there

• Find a specialism that you're genuinely passionate about, don't borrow somone else's

• Success is however you choose to define it

• Don't feel the pressure of finances, look to other cultures and you'll see not everyone is obsessed with owning houses and pension planning

• Don't rely on one or two big clients, spread out your work

• No one's 'job for life' is safe, the world owes you nothing, so do what you love
