The Dream Job Podcast

The Career Strategist & Freelancer


Listen Later

Ever considered leaving the corporate life behind for a life of freelance? Us neither...

That is, until our conversation this week! It turns out freelance can be *much more* than the, transactional life of upwork, fiverr, guru, taskrabbit, hourly nerd, mechanical turk, or any other of the multitudes of ‘marketplaces’ for labor out there. Who knew?

Rachel Cross is who. Rachel worked for 12 years in corporate marketing jobs before stepping out into solopreneurship. She gave herself 6 months of runway to launch a firm and land her first client. The Rachel K Group, has thrived since – with Rachel at the helm as the ‘Chief Business Sherpa’ (we think that means CEO), specializing in launching brands, developing world-class marketing communications, and helping creative professionals start the solopreneur business they’ve always dreamed of.

Join us as Kent and Onnie talk through the challenge of small talk during COVID, propose a ‘corporate America Bingo’ card, and then get flat-out inspired by their conversation with Rachel.
