Featured Speaker: Jason Awbrey

Have you ever dreamed of going Office Space on your employer, walking away, and starting a new life as a freelancer? Five years ago I did just that (well, sort of)! Learn about what caused me to make the transition from employee to self-employed, and how I've managed to stay afloat for five years. I'll share some lessons that I've learned the hard way, and we'll discuss the pros (many) and cons (a few) of a life of self-employment.
