Year1

In today's episode, we talk with Rick Koletavitoglu who is the founder of 150birds.com. Rick is a former marketing consultant turned founder and he believes that the future of work will be majority freelancer led. 

Rick founded 150birds to provide a simple, affordable solution that makes marketing accessible to small businesses. I have a quote here from Rick, "As we see the rise of the knowledge economy, we can expect the highly specialized workforce to plug into platforms like ours to find long-term, more consistent, and meaningful work. We make payouts every two weeks and work with freelance marketers who are looking for an alternative to full-time employment while making an equivalent earning potential. "
