In this episode we dive deep with former IBM executive Ed Brill who traded corporate security for the freedom of freelancing. We explore the challenges and rewards of moving from a W2 to being on a 1099, including financial implications, work-life balance, the concept of permission, and the emotional journey of leaving a prestigious title.
Did you know in the US, the number of freelancers has been steadily rising - in 2023, there were 73.3 MM, and projected to make up more than 50% of the workforce by 2027 if trends continue.
Discover insights on navigating the gig economy, building resilience, and redefining success in a rapidly evolving workforce.
