from yoga teacher to running coach
Recently, I lost a long-standing client. Every freelancer knows that stinging feeling. What’s worse, I lost this client to ChatGPT, which also sucks in its own special way. On the bright side, it made me wonder about what I want to do with my life going forward. Do I look for short-term gigs? Do I
