About

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.
