My guest is Joy Batra, author of The Freelance Mindset: Unleashing Your Side Hustles for Better Work Play and Life.
Drawing on a decade of Batra’s own freelance experience and interviews with fifty freelancers across industries, Joy’s book offers concrete ways to navigate the uncertainty of freelancing to build a life that is financially and emotionally satisfying. This also highlights a need to support freelancers as a tool for financial and personal freedom, especially for women . This book and my conversation here today are new and such an important tool to help all people meet their personal and professional needs.
Joy Batra is the founder of Quartz Consulting, a freelance consulting firm that has advised start-ups, venture capital firms, and Fortune 500 companies. She previously worked at Goldman Sachs, Gunderson Dettmer, JioSaavn, and briefly as a Bollywood actress (long story). She spends her days as Head of Legal at Syndicate Protocol and her free time taking as many dance classes as possible. Joy has a JD and an MBA from Harvard and she has lived or worked in India, Indonesia, South Korea, Thailand, the UAE, and the UK, but she calls Boston home and holds a JD/MBA from Harvard University.
