Ditching Hourly Fireside Chat with Ed Gandia and Jonathan Stark

This week on Ditching Hourly, I was joined by Ed Gandia. Ed is the co-author of The Wealthy Freelancer, the host of the High-Income Business Writing podcast, and a coach to ambitious writers and copywriters who want to earn more in less time doing work they love for better clients.

As you can probably tell from this bio, Ed and I are very much kindred spirits, so this episode is a bit different than most. Instead of me interviewing Ed like a normal guest appearance, we decided to just have a chat where we compared notes on what we have seen working in our respective spaces. There was a lot of overlap but also some interesting differences.
