My First 414 Days As A Freelancer: A Retrospective

Presented by Kyle Unzicker, • Business Track

My session will be a retrospective on my first 414 days as a freelancer: what brought me there, the successes and failures thus far, and my plans for the future. This is not a “quit your job!” speech – just a straight-forward look at how the first year has gone, for better or worse. I hope to share my approach to my craft in a way that is insightful for freelancers and agency-types alike. I am approaching my topic as a collaborative thought experiment where I don’t have all the answers and I don’t quite know everything that I want to do in the future – but I know where I’ve been, and I’d like to share that.
