Episode 26: Financial Planning for Solopreneurs with Ryan Page

Episode 26: Financial Planning for Solopreneurs with Ryan Page

Author: Sarah Duran June 20, 2024 Duration: 21:24

I had a great time talking with Ryan about all things soloprenuer finances.

Ryan is a solopreneur finance expert who is committed to helping business owners understand their numbers and feel in control of their money.

He grew up in Southern California and went to college at Arizona State University where he graduated with a Master's Degree in Accounting and started down the typical accounting path, working in Big 4 accounting firms, earning his CPA, and working for Fortune 500 companies.

However, as he got deeper into the corporate path, he began to feel empty. Like the work he was doing was valuable, but providing no value. He realized that a deep value for him is making an impact in his professional work. There are business owners out there that don't understand their numbers and he is committed to filling the role of helping them understand.

Over the years, one thing has become clear… he loves diving into confusing situations and forging a way forward. Money is relevant to everyone's life, and he loves how intertwined it is with emotion. He is committed to helping everyone he encounters feel in control of their money.

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.
