S2 E4 – IRJ Why Work “Building the Life You Want”

Listen to “S2 E4 – IRJ Why Work "Building the Life You Want"” on Spreaker.

Leslie & Drew are joined by Megan Williams founder & creator of BlackFreelance. We discuss ways to build community, outside the cubicle.

Megan is a builder and writer who’s merged experiences in healthcare, martial arts, and online spaces into a freelance career and online freelance community. Her favorite things these days are the beautiful frustrations of bodyweight training, ordering random foods from Goldbelly, and rethinking personal style after years of working from home. She takes a perspective on freelancing that prioritizes the flexibility of indie work as an engine of sustainable lifestyle design—the kind that improves the health of individuals and communities
