In this episode, I go over the idea that people can't get started freelancing if they have no 'skills.' I first talk about why the concept of 'expertise' doesn't really exist, and I move into why you should just get started anyway. Everyone started at square one at some point in their career. You need to get experience, first, if you want to have skills. Don't let the gatekeeping stop you!

One of the biggest lies we're told in high school and beyond is that we have to pick the 'one job' and 'one career' we want to do for the rest of our lives.
