Life Lessons and Literary Grit:

Contemplating a book, initially a whimsical kids’ tale, but fueled by a raw tapestry of real-world experiences.

Penned Free Birds, a bold fusion of business savvy and rock ‘n’ roll swagger, sparked by a call to ditch the mundane.

The Independent Worker Rebellion:

A seismic shift toward independent workers is rewriting the rules for enterprises and solo hustlers.

Ditching the 9-to-5 grind, this movement champions flexibility over outdated corporate shackles.

MBO Partners: The Game-Changing Platform:

MBO Partners is the ultimate connector, linking enterprises with indie pros while navigating the regulatory jungle.

Slashes red tape for companies and fuels independents with deal flow and back-office muscle.

Certified Self-Employed (CSE): Breaking the Chains:

Pushing a renegade “Certified Self-Employed” model to torch regulatory overreach, letting workers own their independence.

Flips the script, making individuals—not corporations—masters of their tax and compliance destiny.

Social Contract? Dead and Buried:

The old-school W2 dream—pensions, loyalty, gold watches—crumbled post-World War II.

Dual incomes, cheap debt, and vanished pensions birthed a new era of independent hustlers.

Economic Chaos and Workforce Revolution:

Early 2025’s economic turbulence freezes action, but the indie workforce will surge as companies crave agility.

Tech giants, with their razor-sharp project focus and fearless innovation, are already all-in on contractors.

 

High Stakes and High Peaks:

Conquering Kilimanjaro at 50 mirrors a relentless drive to tackle challenges, both personal and professional.

Jumping from PwC to MBO Partners was a gut-driven move to empower indie entrepreneurs to thrive.

Wins for Independents and Enterprises:

Independents score steady gigs, less admin hassle, and big-firm access, boosting happiness and bank accounts.

Enterprises tap specialized talent on-demand, scaling like pros without legal or tax headaches.

Cultural Clash and Change Management:

Old-school firms cling to full-time dogma, resisting the hybrid workforce wave.

Tech trailblazers, unbound by tradition, seamlessly weave contractors into their DNA.

Future Vision and Ballsy Advocacy:

Battling for CSE with lobbyists at state and federal levels, knowing change is a slow burn.

By late 2025, expect economic clarity and a full-throttle embrace of indie workers for unmatched flexibility.
