Good Idea? Freelancing as a Family...

Is freelancing as a family a good idea? Can it actually work? That’s part of what we get into with our call-in guest, Dave. Dave is the father of 3 talented young developers. Together, they’ve started an agency. Well… sort of. As we talked with Dave, we uncovered this: family dynamics are not the same as business dynamics. And sometimes, managing both can present a real challenge.  If you’ve ever wondered whether or not to go into business with family, today’s episode of Freelance to Founder is for you. Here we go!
