Firstly, happy New Year! Last year was a mixed bag wasn’t it?! I hope you all had a lovely break and are looking forward to the year ahead.

The holidays were quite hectic this year. But we were able to carve out some time and read The Gig Economy: The Complete Guide to Getting Better Work, Taking More Time Off, and Financing the Life You Want. And we're glad we did.
