Career Warrior Podcast

Today I brought on Steve Folland, Founder of Being Freelance and an Expert Video & Audio Content Producer.

Six years ago he started the Being Freelance podcast which has since spawned a community and a course to help others start successful freelance careers. He also co-hosts the award-winning Doing It For The Kids podcast - a fun Q&A for those parents freelancing 'with kids in the mix.
