We break down how contracting differs from freelancing or staff roles, which event positions tend to work best in this model, and what helps you stand out before you ever arrive onsite. We also cover professional rate conversations, boundaries, and how to be helpful without overstepping. SHOW NOTES: Relisten to the first part in last week's episode, Episode #245!
