In this episode, we go through the Free Agents mailbag with observations about the legend of the man who outsourced his own job, taking a hobby to the next level, and the menace of imposter syndrome. Then we welcome our guest, Shawn Blanc, creator of The Sweet Setup and shawnblanc.net, to discuss building an independent business with collaborators, solid project planning, and sensible work hours.
