Loading player...
After twelve years in a dynamic, independent publishing world, our host has undergone a major professional shake-up, transitioning from a reliable monthly salary to a pure commission structure.
In this episode, we unpack the lessons learned from this forced change management. It's an honest look at the fear and the opportunity that comes when someone else changes your "food supply."
