Podcast Of The Month

$100K Freelancing Podcast with Paul Jarvis

$100K Freelancing: Make Freelancing Serve Your Own Dreams w/Paul Jarvis

Instead of a conference video, this month I wanted to give a plug for Christopher Hawkins' new podcast series, $100K Freelancing. It's now a weekly podcast, with 12 episodes already released. It emphasizes tactics over inspiration, and interviews with people like Paul Jarvis (author of The Good Creative), Jane Portman of UI Breakfast and Marie Poulin of OkiDoki.

2020 Update: Sadly, the podcast is no longer available.
