Session Spotlight: Immaculate Consternation with Alex Vasquez

Join Alex Vasquez in the Trabuco Trail room at 4:30 PM on Saturday, June 6 to discuss the immaculate consternation.

While everyone is talking about raising our rates; negotiating bigger gigs and releasing amazing products and “owning” their lives something gets overlooked: our personal well-being, physically and emotionally. Alex will speak on something that is overlooked; namely, how we deal with stress, feelings of inadequacy and more. Alex burned out last year and would say he’s still recovering a bit from it; it’s not easy doing the freelance thing, but he’s happy to do it and would like to talk about how one gets into the valley of doubt and depression to come out on the other side wiser, happier a better business person/freelancer overall.
