Description

In this week's episode of the freeCodeCamp podcast, Abbey chats with software developer and freelancer Kyle Prinsloo who lives and works in South Africa. Kyle knew from a young age that he wanted to pursue a career in business. He launched websites with his brother, worked various jobs, and eventually gained experience in marketing and tech. Although he had a job he enjoyed working for people he respected, he wanted more from his work and life. He wanted to marry his now wife, and he wanted to be his own boss. So he started doing some freelancing work on the side. Little by little, as he built relationships with clients and gained more experience, his portfolio grew and he started making more from his side business than from his regular job. So he decided to make a change. In this podcast, you'll learn how he launched his business and educational website, how he prices his services, and how he advises others to become successful freelancers as well. Kyle offers actionable tips on gaining experience, shares anecdotes from his own journey, and discusses how he balances his many responsibilities. You can connect with Kyle on Instagram.
