reintroducing- @theselfemployedshow

last year I started a podcast diving into what it really is like being self employed in NYC. this year we are back with exclusively short-form interviews!!💛✨ this feel a lot more “me” and I’m so excited to show you guys! we’ve already batched 8 guest interviews and I can’t wait for you to see them. There are so many more career options than a 9-5 and the more we talk about it the more people will find what’s truly right for them! @SELF-EMPLOYED with Piper #career #selfemployed #working #interviews

2/4 Edited to

... Read moreWhen I decided to transition from a traditional corporate job to self-employment, I faced the same challenges Piper highlights in her podcast. No one had taught me the ins and outs of being 'self-employed' or the variety of roles available beyond standard employment titles like 'founder' or 'content creator.' Through listening to and participating in short, focused interviews, I gained a clearer understanding of what building a career on one’s own terms entails. What stands out most from these conversations is the diversity of self-employed career options, especially in a vibrant city like NYC. There's a wealth of opportunities spanning from artists to entrepreneurs, digital creators, freelancers, and beyond. These interviews offer real-life perspectives on managing uncertainty, building personal brands, and maintaining work-life balance. The podcast’s format—bite-sized, one-minute interviews—makes it accessible for anyone curious about non-traditional career paths. It’s encouraging to hear how others overcame doubts, navigated financial instability, and ultimately found freedom in choosing their own work schedules. For those considering self-employment, these insights are invaluable. They demystify the process and provide encouragement to explore alternatives to the conventional 9-5 grind. Engaging with this content helped me realize that success looks different for everyone, and there’s no one-size-fits-all route. In essence, @theselfemployedshow serves as a guide and inspiration hub for anyone pondering career reinvention. If you’re seeking to understand what working for yourself truly means, this series is a refreshing, insightful resource to accompany your journey.
