I find it really amazing that our systems are still designed around the W-2 world. I spent a number of years in consulting, and then when I tried to buy a house, they wouldn’t even look at my 1099 income at all they needed at least two years of W-2 income in order to give me a mortgage. Now this was through a big bank so we eventually got it through to completely different company.
Dan pink was talking about free agency way back in 2002 so I can’t believe that in 24 years none of this has substantially materially changed

The financial industry never wants to change unless it majorly benefits them to do so

@The_Weird_Canadian Love the pre-show research intro. I've felt what Tamara is talking about personally quite a few times. You should do a video about your Doge Coin story sometime. Would be interesting to see.
