I Fired My Boss… Then Accidentally Rehired Them as Me | Ep 21

In this episode of Change Champions, co-hosts Ped and Riley unpack a hard truth that many self-employed coaches, consultants, trainers, and facilitators know all too well: you might have fired your boss, but somehow ended up working for an even worse one—yourself. Drawing from Ped’s eye-opening story of taking 3 a.m. client calls from a San Francisco basement, the duo explores how being “technically self-employed” often still means being overworked and under-leveraged. They discuss why staying stuck in freelancer mode keeps you trapped, and how shifting from “being the business” to building a business requires mindset shifts, asset creation, and strategic design. With real client examples and relatable insights, this episode helps you move from burnout to building a business that actually sets you free.
