Be Battle Ready: Daily Battle #21
Nathan Hirsch
On today’s episode of the Daily Battle, I am having a conversation with Nathan Hir. Nathan created the platform FreeeUP. We dive into Nathan’s background and how he got to where he is today as well as the awesome platform for freelancers called FreeeUP that streamlines the hiring process for companies and freelancers.

Nathan knew at a young age the typical 40-hour work week wasn’t for him. He hated working for other people. He worked a full-time job from the time he was 15. During college he made it his goal to start a business and started hustling. He started buying and selling people’s textbooks. He even created a referral program.
