225 - Demystifying the 1099 Economy: The Future of Work is Upon Us Meaning Over Money
-
- Business
The term "1099 Economy", or "Gig Economy", has been heating up in recent years. More people than ever have entered the 1099 economy, but the entire concept continues to get demeaned and disrespected by our culture at large. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton explains the key differences between traditional W-2 employment and 1099 contract work, and some of the perceived risks/pitfalls of 1099 employment (and how to mitigate it). He also highlights some of the potential upsides and benefits many people aren't aware of. We aren't advocating for one over the other, but rather to help people understand both paths are viable and have their own merits.
