Episode 113: Overcoming Isolation as an Independent Consultant—with Laura Marella and Jeanene Kroetch
Becoming an independent consultant can give you the freedom and flexibility you crave, but it can also be lonely. How do you solve that problem while still enjoying your independence?
​
In this Craft of Consulting podcast episode, I interview Laura Marella and Jeanene Kroetch, co-founders of Overflow, a platform-based accelerator that serves independent strategic consultants in the areas of marketing, innovation, design, and communications. They share their experiences of going independent after working in the corporate world and how they are helping others not only feel less isolated but also get access to resources and scale their businesses.
