My guest today is Matt Baker. He’s the VP of Corporate Strategy and International Expansion at FreshBooks, which makes accounting, bookkeeping and invoicing software to help service providers get paid faster and save time on tedious administrative tasks.
Matt’s also super passionate about helping entrepreneurs mitigate the risks associated with going from side hustle to self employed.
I’m super pumped to have him on the show - even though we both graduated from colleges that have a huge football rivalry (Go Buckeyes!) - to share some of his insights with you because he’s in the unique position at Freshbooks to have access to a lot of data about challenges faced by people who are self-employed, and what prevents people who really, really want to quit their day jobs and have the freedom, flexibility and financial independence that comes with working for yourself from making the leap.
