Erik Westra talks about Solo Team and the 1099-MISCletoe Bash - A Holiday Party for the Self-Employed.* We discuss why many good ideas start as jokes, the importance of setting clear expectations, and the difference between networking and connecting.

*NOTE: this event was canceled after we recorded the episode. They are planning to return next year and promise it will be awesome. So just take everything Erik says in our interview and apply it to 2017.

Music in this episode is Chiptune by THE MELCHIADES ESTRADA BAND
