    Episode 81 - The 'Do One Thing' myth

    In the olden days of our parents or grandparents, you had one job and you did that job for life - or at least for a long time. Now the ways of work have changed and people are used to switching jobs, but although having a “side hustle” is more common, there’s still some stigma around having more than one project, business or role as a freelancer. In this episode we look at whether you can have your cake and eat it by doing more than just one thing!
