Welcome to the Evolvepreneur (After Hours) Show
I am your Special Host Mechelle McDonald
Join me today where we dig deep with our guests and get you the best concepts and strategies to fast-track your business.
My very special guest today is Karl Swanepoel ...
Karl is a young entrepreneur who started his freelancing journey at age 13 and founded his first business at 15. His experience living in multiple countries at a young age made him open-minded and less attached to national identity. He overcame challenges in his career by throwing himself into difficult situations and learning from mentors with more experience. Finding the right work-life balance has been his biggest challenge but he has improved over time. His current goal is to raise funds for his freelancing platform Rubberlancer to substantially impact the freelancing industry for the better.
