Random Self-employment Podcasts

Conversations with modern workers about freelancing, the reality of self-employment, the highs, lows and bits in-between of working for yourself. We ask a simple question each week: “How are you?” and explore the answer. You’ll not be hearing from billion dollar entrepreneurs, there’s no ‘crushing it’ stories of success here, just honest, raw and open accounts of what it’s really like – in the hope that anyone who wants to work differently, can gather insights from the experience of others. Hosted by Matthew Knight, founder of Leapers – a community supporting the mental health of freelancers.

Self-employed dads share how to build a successful freelance business from home, while raising kids. Chad Gravallese and other freelancing parents will teach you what you need to know to balance family and business when they’re under the same roof. This show is meant to help the whole family by bringing dad home. It’s time for him to leave his employee job and start a freelance career, so he can increase his income and spend more time with his wife and kids. I’m Chad Gravallese, the host, and a full-time Husband and Dad first, part-time entrepreneur, a work-from-home enthusiast, and self-employment advocate. Changing this world for the better starts within each home, each family, then the local community, then your country and society, then the rest of the world. For any society to thrive, a strong family unit must be at the core of its structure and dad being at home, earning more and working less is what makes this much easier.
