Episode Notes

Episode 01- Present and Future of Entrepreneurship

Why are people turning to self-employment in the current economy?

Alex, a freelancer who thought jumping ship and starting her journey would be a lot simpler than it turned out to be. A whole new set of challenges arise once someone decides to venture into entrepreneurship and a lot of times, those challenges are not-so-common knowledge.
