Stepping out on your own as a freelancer means you’re suddenly wearing every hat in the company, from the visionary CEO to the person who chases down invoices. The Business of Freelancing is built on the collective wisdom of a rotating panel-Reuven, Margaret, Kai, Meg, Jeremy, and Erik-who have each navigated these waters for years. Instead of abstract theory, each episode unpacks the real, sometimes messy, situations they’ve faced while building sustainable careers. You’ll hear candid conversations about setting rates that reflect your value, navigating difficult client relationships, and the systems that keep the administrative side from becoming overwhelming. This podcast digs into the strategic thinking required to move from just getting by to genuinely thriving, covering the full spectrum from finding your first clients to planning for long-term growth. Tune in for a dose of practical, actionable advice that feels like a conversation with seasoned colleagues who understand exactly what you’re going through and want to help you chart your own course.
