No Time to Freelance? You're Wrong. Here's Proof.
About this episode
This episode discusses how to balance a demanding job with starting a freelance career, featuring insights from a former educator turned freelancer.
A Reddit question sparks a conversation that hits close to home for thousands of side-hustling professionals: a full-time teacher wants to know how to balance a demanding classroom career with landing and serving their first freelance clients. Preston sits down with Meredith Cooley—former 17-year educator turned full-time copywriter and teacher-to-freelancer mentor—to dig into the real, unglamorous work of building something on the side when your day job leaves almost nothing in the tank. From mindset shifts to a surprisingly simple paper-and-pencil time audit, this episode is a practical guide for anyone trying to grow a freelance business without quitting their day job first.
