Feel like work is broken? Fix it by creating work that works for you! Serial solopreneur and business coach Stephen Warley interviews people who got unstuck and figured out how to work for themselves, so they could design work around their ideal lifestyle instead of fitting life in around their work. He teaches practical life skills like self-awareness, curiosity, energy management and building community to help you design your own unique business model in alignment with your values, needs and abilities.
Each interview is like a case study on how to transition from employment into self-employment. Stephen also interviews loads of people questioning the status quo of conventional work like Jenny Blake, Seth Godin, Chris Brogan, Pamela Slim, David Neeleman, Greg McKeown, Todd Henery, Omar Zenhom, Kwame Christian, Sean McCabe, Mike Vardy, Emilie Wapnick, Erik Fisher, Nick Loper, Elaine Pofeldt, Taylor Pearson, Jordan Harbinger, Neil Pasricha, Tracy Litt, Chris Guillebeau and many more!
