I’m your host, Jack, your failure connoisseur, and today I’m joined by the one and only Jonathan Morin, better known in the Webflow world as Jo Mor. Joe is a standout designer and developer, whose work beautifully blends storytelling, sharp design, and smooth development into something truly unique.

I first met Joe at Webflow Conf in London, where we had a memorable moment—twerking together while Melissa Mendez filmed us. Beyond the moves, Joe is an award-winning designer with a knack for combining aesthetic brilliance and technical precision. His site, jomor.design, is a testament to his skills and the waves he’s making in the design world. And if you’ve seen his hilarious talk at Webflow Conf, you already know his energy is unmatched.

But today, we’re not just here to admire Joe’s successes. We’re diving into the trials and lessons that have shaped his journey. In this episode, we’ll explore:

• Prioritizing money over meaningful work and its hidden costs.
• Selling a service he couldn’t deliver—and the weekend he won’t forget.
• Battling negative self-talk and the quest for self-compassion.

This is going to be an honest, raw, and insightful conversation packed with lessons for anyone navigating the creative industry.

I’m your host, Jack, your failure connoisseur, and today we’ve got a special double-bill episode with the brilliant duo, Camille Di Vincenzo & Ellina Chhay. These two are powerhouse no-code and low-code experts who bring years of experience in Webflow and beyond, helping to build a better internet together.

I first heard about Camille and Ellina through Théo Roland from the French Webflow community, who insisted I invite them on Webflail. And wow, am I glad I did! Both of them have extensive knowledge not just in the Webflow ecosystem but across various tools that make the no-code space so vibrant.

Together, they’ve also been fostering an amazing sense of community through initiatives like Webflow Co-living, where professionals gather in inspiring locations to connect, collaborate, and grow. From board game nights to quizzes, these retreats are redefining the way Webflow enthusiasts bond and learn from each other.

In this episode, we’ll dig into six failures—three from each of these incredible guests. These failures include:

For Ellina:

• Not qualifying prospects and accepting all calls without distinction.
• Underpricing her services and struggling to value her work.
• Accepting too many clients and underestimating project deadlines.

And for Camille:

• Failing to set boundaries with customers and friends.
• Avoiding complicated projects that could push her to grow.
• Hesitating to ask questions in the Webflow community out of fear of judgment.

These two have a wealth of insights to share about failure, resilience, and how to keep leveling up in this industry. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro, you’re going to learn so much from this conversation.
