In this episode, I interview Eulanda and Omo Osagiede (@dipyourtoesin), London-based freelance writers and social influencers who run the travel blog Hey, Dip Your Toes In (also known as HDYTI).
Since starting the project a few years ago, the couple has won numerous awards and expanded into retreats and other initiatives. I personally love the brand they’ve created and was energized to hear how they make their side project work on top of their professional lives. If you’ve ever been interested in treating your creative passion like a business, this is the episode for you!
