Join us for an intimate chat between Dorie Clark and Ryan Williams!

During this fireside chat, we'll discuss Dorie's new book: "Entrepreneurial You: Monetize Your Expertise, Create Multiple Income Streams, and Thrive." We'll dive into a conversation about how we're shifting toward an ever more entrepreneurial, self-reliant, work-from-wherever-you-are economy. We'll share stories with actions and lessons to help professionals to navigate their dreams of becoming independent, whether by starting their own businesses, becoming consultants or freelancers, or developing a sideline.
