The first time I met Tori Barker I knew we were like-minded solopreneurs. We talk about leaving the corporate world to follow your passions.

Tori Barker is the passionate and empathetic leader behind Creative Marketing, a digital marketing, consulting, and podcast marketing company. She values family and relationships with clients just as highly as those she builds within communities – an approach that’s earned her remarkable trust among colleagues. A master of listening intently and encouraging self-driven solutions, Tori stands out for not only delivering on expectations but creating unique experiences through creative strategies as the Owner of Creative Marketing – all while maintaining sincerity without fail.

Hosted by Sarah Duran, The Future is Freelance moves beyond the typical success story narrative to tackle the real, often unspoken, challenges of independent work. This podcast operates on a core belief: the most practical and resilient solutions are forged by the people living this reality every day. Each episode convenes voices from across the entire freelance ecosystem-from solo creators and agency owners to platform developers and policy advocates. The goal is to break down the silos and echo chambers that often isolate us, creating a rare space for genuine dialogue. You’ll hear frank discussions about pricing, client relationships, systemic inequities, mental health, and the philosophical shifts redefining modern work. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all advice, these conversations leverage collective wisdom to explore actionable paths forward. Tuning in means joining a grounded community effort to not just navigate the present landscape, but to actively shape what comes next. It’s for anyone curious about the human and structural dynamics behind the growing freelance economy, seeking both solidarity and substantive strategy.
