In this episode Neel sits down with Sean O'Dowd of The O'Dowd Group.
Sean was just looking to pay off the loan he took out to buy an engagement ring for his then-fiancee when he decided to consult on the side. His very first gig was through Upwork and involved proofreading an email for $30.
Neel and Sean discuss:
- how having a Wharton degree may have helped him land some clients, but how easily his mom, who was a simple librarian without that elite college pedigree, was able to land a $30k consulting gig with his help
- what sort of income you can hope to attain as a one-person shop
- platforms like Catalant and Uncommon Elite that have helped to power Sean's growth
