A recent survey of freelance workers done by AND CO showed that the pay gap exists even for the self-employed. On average, self-employed women make less than self-employed men. That's troubling information, given that freelancers are able to set their own wages. So what's happening here? What baggage are we bringing in to setting our own rates?  Joining Bryce to discuss this important and delicate topic is Lauren Loria, a Michigan based commercial photographer that helps clients build their brands through visual imagery that reflects their business' personality.   Today's links:  www.laurenloriaphotography.com https://twitter.com/@LaurenLoria1 https://www.instagram.com/laurenloriaphotography/ https://www.and.co/slash-workers -- This episode is sponsored by AND.CO, the freelancer's resource!
