Episode 39: What it means to be a free agent with Dana Theus and Mary Brodie
Description
When we hear the words, “free agent,” our minds often think about sports drafts. Athletes often consider themselves “free agents,” always up for a change of teams depending on the highest bidder.
In professional careers, we often don’t consider ourselves “free agents.” We’re employees or unemployed or entrepreneurs or self-employed. But why don’t we consider ourselves to be like athletes? Why don’t we encourage a bidding war? What stops us?
The irony is that we are now in a “gig economy.” More and more, people are working for different companies, almost self-employed. One could argue that companies like Uber and Lyft support this. Sure, it speaks to temporary jobs and a spark of entrepreneurship, but is this becoming the new norm? Are we now all free agents?
