Per Our Last Email
by Elle Mitchell and Arabela Espinoza
We started Per Our Last Email because we know first hand how hard it can be to be a freelancer. Our hope is that the stories we share and the guests that we interview will be a reminder that you are not alone in this crazy entrepreneur life. Mix up a cocktail (you’re going to need it), listen, and laugh along with us. Follow us on IG at @perourlastemail for podcast updates, cocktail recipes, and freelancing memes. Got a crazy freelancing story? Submit it at perourlastemail.com // Artwork by Good Vibes Type and Podcast Intro by SLVMM and Sara Witsch.
