Today we're taking a look at what the future of freelancing might look like as working culture evolves. My guest is Paul Evans, director of Fourth Estate Creative and creator of the Freelance Fellowship platform. As a small business owner and someone who hires freelancers, Paul sees the opportunities and challenges from both sides.
Our conversation unpicks what recent shifts in working culture might mean for freelancers, including:
- The drivers behind the growth of the freelance economy (plus benefits and pitfalls to watch out for)
- The gig economy and workers' rights
- How to spot knowledge gaps in companies you'd like to work with
- Combining your skills to become a "triple threat"
- The power of collaboration between groups of freelancers
- How Paul works with freelancers in his own business
