Summary

In this episode of Finding Freedom, we dive into the rise of "polyworking"—the growing trend of juggling multiple jobs and income streams in 2025. Host John unpacks why the traditional 9-to-5 is losing its grip and how economic shifts, technology, and cultural values are driving more Americans to diversify their work lives. From side hustles and gig work to digital entrepreneurship and fractional roles, discover how people are redefining success and stability. John shares personal stories, practical advice, and the risks and rewards of polyworking, including the importance of risk management and avoiding burnout. We also explore the impact of inflation, the Federal Reserve, and why flexibility and autonomy matter more than ever. Whether you’re considering a side hustle or already managing multiple streams of income, this episode offers insights and inspiration for building a life on your own terms.
