Welcome to The Void. We are a show dedicated to filling the void between being an employee and becoming self-employed, between working for somebody else and working for yourself. We're going to be bringing on some guests that are fairly new into their self-employment journey, but that are in greatly different fields than we're in, so we can dive in and discuss the struggles that they faced and how they overcame those to help inspire and encourage you guys to do it as well
