Today's talk may be our most important one yet, as we discuss the PRO Act, which could mean the death of freelancing. If you live in California, you've likely heard of this bill. Even if you're not from California, this is still important, because this law is the model for the entire United States going forward.
In short, this law will make it to where you are considered an employee if you do what the government thinks is considered "too much work" for one company. Here, I'll teach you ways to get around this bill, but nonetheless, we still need to speak up for our rights to freelance.
