We all know that as humans, we're hardwired for connection. But for most of us, freelancing or remote working can be a lonely business. In today's episode Bo and Amy discuss the importance of connection and community to avoid feelings of isolation. The benefits of having a solid community around you as a freelancer are numerous: they might offer a sounding board for ideas, share common gripes and grievances and provide accountability and support as well as friendship. Bo and Amy talk about how they've overcome isolation in their own working lives and share practical ideas for building up your own infrastructure of support and community.
