Notable quotes from the episode:

“I think that we need to normalize six figures. We need to normalize bringing these big salaries. And I think we also need normalize talking about those numbers so that we can know those kinds of things are possible.”

“I would probably personally never go back to a full-time job ever again. We could start the conversation at a million dollars a year, and I'm not kidding. That's the kind of conversation it would take to retain me full-time.”

“And I love the fact that post-pandemic, companies are waking up to the idea that you can have the best talent and only employ them when you absolutely need them.”

“My goal is to have a million-dollar a year. That's my goal. I don't want to be the six-figure freelancer anymore. I want to be seven.”
