Mental Stresses of Being a Freelancer

We normally don’t do this but this is an important topic. Mental health is something that I didn’t think much about before working with entrepreneurs but it became apparent very quickly that mental health is something that entrepreneurs have to deal with all the time. And I think that freelancers certainly fit under the entrepreneur umbrella so, when I saw the Orthogonal Podcast, which is hosted by CSUF Entrepreneurship Board Member Andrew Carroll, discussing mental stress and freelancers, I had to share it.

Here is the link to the podcast: https://spec.fm/podcasts/orthogonal/266724

And here is the Tweet from Andrew that led me to it.

I am very proud of this episode with @cdecaro and @mrbrettkelly : https://t.co/yGU6iLrxGn

Being a freelancer or remote worker can have very serious mental health consequences and it needs to be discussed but it rarely is.
