it’s 2025: a 9-to-5 isn’t the safe option anymore...

3 months. 

That's all it took for me to realize I wasn't built for the corporate thing.

See, I'd been freelancing since I was 17. 

I knew how to make money on my own. 

I'd done it through high school, through college.

Yet the second I graduated, what did I do?

Put on a suit and tie and worked in a cubicle.

Because that's what you're "supposed" to do, right?

That's the "safe" path.

But it’s 2025…

The nine-to-five isn't the safe option anymore → 

It's the risky one.

You can get fired or laid off, then spend months doing rounds of interviews trying to get another job…

Meanwhile, freelancers like me are out here building something that nobody could take away from us.

I’ve been freelancing for over 16 years, and I've worked with Netflix, Google, Lionsgate... 

More importantly, I've built something that gives me complete freedom.

My wife Courtney and I can look at each other on a random Tuesday and just say "not it today" and go out for breakfast or lunch because we've built systems that work without us.

That's not luck or some special talent…

It's understanding how freelancing works when you do it right.

And that's exactly why I'm so passionate about this.

Because I see so many talented people stuck in the same place I was at 21…

Thinking they need permission to build something for themselves…

Believing freelancing is the risky path when it's actually the smartest move you can make right now.

Maybe you're already freelancing but stuck in that feast-or-famine cycle I knew too well.

Maybe you're still in the corporate world, feeling that same restlessness I felt in that DC cubicle.

Or maybe you're somewhere in between, testing the waters but not quite ready to dive in.
