Ben Culpin is a managing partner at Amsterdam agency Lifely. He turned in a 5-year freelance strategy career to join a company he knew well - as a freelancer and also as friends. Prior to this, Ben worked at Strawberry Frog and Nomads, and, somewhere in-between all of this, he has been a video maker and ethnographic researcher.
In this episode of Sweathead, we discuss what it's like to make all these shifts - into then out of the freelance life and into then out of a lone wolf life.
