I’ve had the pleasure to chat to Jeni Herberger on her radio talk show ‘Talk Story’. We chatted for about an hour on a variety of topics (see below) in a very casual manner.

Cool. I’ll give this a listen! 🙂
Sounds like a really cool interview and I think I have lots of things to learn from here. I am looking forward to Work life balance, it always interested me how high profile figures do it.
Good chat you had with Jeni the other day! My name is Steve Gordon, I’m a good friend of Jeni’s and I’m an indie creative much like yourself. I’m also an author (100 Habits for Successful Freelance Designers). I would love to chop it up and chat sometime about the things you’ve experienced and how you gain notoriety and projects.
All the best and what a great story you have. Keep telling it!
Best,
Stevie G
its always good to listen/read great people, it will give us inspiration to do something cool & try to become like them 🙂
Thanks for sharing Jacob – was interesting to listen!
Good quality line after all
Ummm… I’m guessing you are on the wrong episode, Cesar. There was none of that talk on Jacob’s episode. scroll down to find the other one.
Nice to be here & hear this radio chat which is very interesting to listen. Thanks for sharing this chat you had with jeni which was very cool. Stay on with this.
Hi Jacob, do you have a direct link? I hunted on the Talk Story site but I think the episode mustn’t be recent enough to show on the list now. I’m interested to hear the interview, in particular what you had to say about your exchange in Sweden as I’m considering some work or study there myself.
Thanks!
