    Good Idea? Freelancing as a Family...

    Good Idea? Freelancing as a Family...

    Is freelancing as a family a good idea? Can it actually work?
    That’s part of what we get into with our call-in guest, Dave.
    Dave is the father of 3 talented young developers. Together, they’ve started an agency.
    Well… sort of.
    As we talked with Dave, we uncovered this: family dynamics are not the same as business dynamics. And sometimes, managing both can present a real challenge. 
    If you’ve ever wondered whether or not to go into business with family, today’s episode of Freelance to Founder is for you. Here we go!
