"There are nearly 60 million freelancers in the United States alone"
"58% of people that went remote due to COVID are now considering freelancing"
So that called for action
1/ Hello world,
@stefanpalios and I have some really exciting news. In many of my career coaching discussions, a lot of what came up was the fact that many people have started freelancing.
[continue the thread]
So big news: @izzydoesizzy and I teamed up to launch Freelance Foundations, a live-taught course to help you:

"There are nearly 60 million freelancers in the United States alone"
"58% of people that went remote due to COVID are now considering freelancing"
So that called for action
- building a website
- taxes, accounting, finances
- marketing
- sales
- project management
and so much more
But for all of those who are trying to adapt quickly, and go at in on their own, this can be really challenging to learn and experiment with on your own and be profitable earlier.
They start on their own, they experiment and make mistakes (big and small), and nobody around them really understands the ups and downs you go through.
A small group to meet with weekly for 6 weeks, and share wins, mistakes, and lessons learned.
And this isn't a video course, it's all LIVE
And have a community of other freelancers starting their businesses.
But one thing I've learned if you want to run your own business, you need to learn to sell. There's really no way around it.
After all, you're great, you offer an important service, and SOMEONE OUT THERE NEEDS YOUR HELP!
- 5 weeks (Jan 19 - Feb 19)
- Class - Tuesdays 5:30 - 7:30pm
- Feedback Hours - Fridays - 12:00 - 1:00pm
If you're interested, check it out today and book a call! We've only got 15 spots available!
You won't regret it.

Recently, the @CNIL issued a decision regarding the GDPR compliance of an unknown French adtech company named "Vectaury". It may seem like small fry, but the decision has potential wide-ranging impacts for Google, the IAB framework, and today's adtech. It's thread time! 👇
It's all in French, but if you're up for it you can read:
• Their blog post (lacks the most interesting details): https://t.co/PHkDcOT1hy
• Their high-level legal decision: https://t.co/hwpiEvjodt
• The full notification: https://t.co/QQB7rfynha
I've read it so you needn't!
Vectaury was collecting geolocation data in order to create profiles (eg. people who often go to this or that type of shop) so as to power ad targeting. They operate through embedded SDKs and ad bidding, making them invisible to users.
The @CNIL notes that profiling based off of geolocation presents particular risks since it reveals people's movements and habits. As risky, the processing requires consent — this will be the heart of their assessment.
Interesting point: they justify the decision in part because of how many people COULD be targeted in this way (rather than how many have — though they note that too). Because it's on a phone, and many have phones, it is considered large-scale processing no matter what.

"I really want to break into Product Management"
make products.
"If only someone would tell me how I can get a startup to notice me."
Make Products.
"I guess it's impossible and I'll never break into the industry."
MAKE PRODUCTS.
Courtesy of @edbrisson's wonderful thread on breaking into comics – https://t.co/TgNblNSCBj – here is why the same applies to Product Management, too.
There is no better way of learning the craft of product, or proving your potential to employers, than just doing it.
You do not need anybody's permission. We don't have diplomas, nor doctorates. We can barely agree on a single standard of what a Product Manager is supposed to do.
But – there is at least one blindingly obvious industry consensus – a Product Manager makes Products.
And they don't need to be kept at the exact right temperature, given endless resource, or carefully protected in order to do this.
They find their own way.
