The Podcast
The Naked Freelancer Podcast is the voice of the freelance economy. Its purpose is not solely to feature high-level influencers, but to give a voice to the every day freelancer like you.
Each one of our guests is encouraged to bare all; to strip down and share their successes as well as their failures; their accomplishments and their struggles. We give each guest a platform to share their story and inspire countless freelancers like you.
It is estimated that in the United States today, approximately 34% of the total workforce are freelancers. That number is expected to increase to 50% by 2020. That's a lot of independents struggling to make a life for themselves.
