23: Leaving the Rat Race and Going it Alone

In the latest episode of How The Future Works, Barry and Eleanor are joined by Emily and Alex Marcham Emily and Alex are a married couple who decided that life was too short to be employed in a 9-5 and so made the big life decision to resign from their jobs and embrace the digital nomadic lifestyle.  Emily went from being a legal secretary to becoming a virtual assistant, social media expert and blogger and Alex left behind his role as a HVAC engineer to embrace a new future as a web designer. They now live the freelance dream and travel the world, work for themselves and earn income from client projects through open talent platforms. It’s a fascinating and inspiring discussion that might just tempt you to think differently about what work is all about!
