The Gig Economy Community

Overview

I am always trying to learn more about companies in the #GigEconomy eco system. In researching my latest book, Thriving in the Gig Economy, I got to know some very interesting people and Companies. Since them, I have profiled several in my #CoolGigCompany blog posts. Now I want to highlight those firms and providing links for you. Those in bold are in the book. Those in italics have blog posts. Others may have posts in the future.

I invite you to check them all out.
