Pitch It Anyway

 🎙 “Pitch It Anyway” — Because sometimes, rules are just... suggestions.

A company wants a full-time W-2? Cute. But we know better. 😏

In this episode, we tackle the fine line between what they want and what actually works for us as professionals.

💼 Key Takeaways (with a kick):

💸 W-2 vs. 1099: Just because they said “employee” doesn’t mean you can’t educate them on options.

☕ Bookkeeper ≠ Receptionist: You’re not here to make coffee—unless it’s for yourself.

🧠 Client Mentality Hack: Treat that 9-to-5 like a client gig (they just don’t know it yet).

📬 Got a spicy scenario? Send it in—we’ll roast it on-air (with love, of course).

 🎧 Listen now, laugh a little, and pitch it anyway.
