Great pod for taking the leap into freelancing!

Tom does such a great job of encouraging people to jump into freelancing as a way to explore what you love and break out of the 9-5 mold. Highly recommend!

so glad this podcast exists!

I’m so excited this podcast exists, it’s what I’ve needed to feel motivated to take on my dream side hustle (which i’ve been procrastinating on)! This podcast has re energized my passion in website building and gave me hope that it’s achievable. I relate to Tom’s love of freedom and his beginnings with his side hustle process, it feels similar to where i’m currently at. Relating to him in this way makes me want to take his advice more seriously lol super excited for the next episode to drop!!
