In the inaugural episode of 'Second Act Freelance,' host Judson Voss delves into the reasons why experienced professionals might consider freelancing either as a side hustle or a full-time endeavor. He discusses the economic and personal factors that make the current moment ripe for starting a freelancing career, including economic expansions and contractions, the impact of COVID-19 on remote work, and personal factors like risk diversification and control over one's work-life. Voss emphasizes the shift in corporate mentality towards hiring freelancers for flexibility and cost reduction, and the increased feasibility of freelancing from anywhere due to remote work infrastructure. He also introduces resources available on his website, including an eBook designed to help individuals evaluate if freelancing is right for them, and encourages viewers to subscribe for future episodes that will explore freelancing in more depth.
