@peteflint I'm curious to hear how you think these forces relate to the market for Freelance work platforms? I've spent the last two years looking at this as we've built @LifeWorkOnline, and there are some interesting comparisons to be made

@NFX @peteflint I'm curious how you think these forces will play out in the Freelance economy, rather than traditional employment? This is what we're building with @LifeWorkOnline, and I wrote briefly on why now is the turning point for freelancing: https://t.co/sS6PiQxoWn

The @TheSBSChallenge drew #yoga studios, #restaurants, a wedding photographer, catering businesses, a farmer’s market; places we all love https://t.co/7E1M7ygnt3

I love that answer! It shows the secret sauce behind your ability to stay on the cutting edge.

...I also love the thought of someone telling you that your superpower is "your willingness to look stupid". What a brilliant back-handed compliment that would be! 😂

[Joe Blair @joeblairvc]

@davidjcorfield @LifeWorkOnline @TheSBSChallenge That’s a deep question. 🌊

I’d say... 🤔

I’m willing to risk looking stupid to explore novel ideas, try new things, and fully discover what’s possible. 🔎

The fool becomes the hero. 🤡->🦸‍♂️

[David Corfield @davidjcorfield]

@joeblairvc @LifeWorkOnline @TheSBSChallenge Absolutely! What's your superpower Joe?

[David Corfield @davidjcorfield]

In the last week, two investors have asked me what my superpower is... Today, one of my team told me what my superpower was, totally unprompted. It was a word-perfect match of my answer. And that felt very very good.

[David Corfield @davidjcorfield]

@joeblairvc "Your superpower is convincing people of things. Especially big, crazy things. The crazier it seems, the more convincing you are!". That was how my colleague put it reflecting on following me into battle on both @LifeWorkOnline and @TheSBSChallenge 🤷‍♂️

Tomorrow I will share another post to answer the second of Kendrick’s big questions: What has the current crisis taught us about trust in the freelancer relationship? And why is @LifeWorkOnline so pivotal in addressing the trust question? 18/18

I just published The Freelance Economy: Outlook for the Downturn
https://t.co/zCgLbsNV0t reflecting on my conversation with @Kendrick_G_Kho at the Remote Startup Expo. Everyone expects freelancing to boom during a downturn, but what about through the recovery? 1/x

[David Corfield @davidjcorfield]

We could well be at the dawn of a golden age of freelancing.
Please let me know what you think. You can watch the whole video of my conversation with @Kendrick_G_Kho here: https://t.co/B2PoI8zlBH
