Episode 3: Freelancing for Freedom with Tiffany Jones and Beth Gummere

Author: Sarah Duran April 27, 2023 Duration: 37:48

Whenever I talk with Beth and Tiffany from Kenza Collective, I feel incredibly grateful for them as part of my life and as huge assets to the freelance community. Together they run the Kenza Collective, your one-stop-shop for everything you need to know about running your own business as a parent. They are also both badasses in their own right.

After 15 years of working for The Man, Tiffany transitioned to a full-time consultant when her daughter was just 10 months old. Taking this leap has given me complete autonomy over how I spend my time and energy, enabling her to become the calm and present Mama she wanted to be. Tiffany is an expert project manager, operations consultant, and fractional CEO.

Beth has been a financial consultant since 2001. A serial entrepreneur with an MBA, she helps small businesses succeed by improving their financial narrative. She’s spent more than two decades seeing the inner financial workings of over 65 companies, including non-profits, ranging in size from $12,000 to $18 million in annual income and has a long list of best practices.

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.
