Accidental Freelancer To Brand Consultant, Founder & Freelance Coach (Austin Church)

Austin Church thought he was going to be a poet.  When that didn't go as planned, he joined the business world.  Six months later he was laid off in the 2008 recession.  Luckily, his firm hired him back as a freelancer and that completely changed his perspective on work.  Ever since he's been hacking a living, shifting roles as a freelancer, founder, entrepreneur, and coach.  We chat about his journey and more.
