The Creative Mindset with Jef

In this episode of Get Into Flow, host Sabrina sits down with the wonderfully creative Jef van de Graaf to chat about his journey as a freelance copywriter. Jef kicks things off with a wild story—how he nearly died of hypothermia while cycling across Canada, stranded near a place called Come by Chance, Newfoundland. That life-or-death moment taught him something powerful: life is a mix of chance and choice—we can’t always control what happens, but we can choose how we respond.

That lesson shaped not just his life but his career. From his early days in Toronto to the adventures that redefined his path, Jef shares heartfelt stories, hard-earned lessons, and practical advice on freelancing. He and Sabrina dive into the art of balancing creativity with strategy, building strong client relationships, and staying positive through the ups and downs of self-employment.

Whether you're a freelancer yourself or just love a good creative journey, this episode is packed with inspiration, real talk, and plenty of wisdom.
