In the show’s first segment, Rachelle tells us about how she was raised on a farm in Western New York by entrepreneurial parents, and their inspiration never left her. She also explains the details about her group and its simultaneous Western New York Freelancers events going on next week in Buffalo, Rochester, and Erie, Pennsylvania.

In the second half of the show, Rachelle gets into the nitty-gritty of freelancer questions. What’s hot? What’s not? What are the pleasant surprises? How does independent freelancing not only benefit you but also the community in which you live? Her bottom line: “Most of us came from working for someone else and we don’t want to go back there.”
