Your Host: Roger Knecht, president of Universal Accounting Center Guest Name: Jeffrey Shaw Jeffrey Shaw is often described as an authority and advocate for self-employed business owners, valued for his actionable and "in the trenches" approach to achieving business and life success. Why shouldn't he be? How many people can say they've never worked for anyone else? Selling eggs door-to-door at 14 years old led to a lifetime of self-employment. In his twenties, he built a portrait photography business and became one of the most sought-after portrait photographers for affluent families in the U.S. for more than three decades. His portraits have been on the Oprah Show, CBS News, featured in People and O Magazine and hang at Harvard University. Today, Jeffrey is the author of LINGO and The Self-Employed Life, host of The Self-Employed Life podcast with nearly two-million downloads, and founder of the Self-Employed Business Institute. His TEDx Talk is featured on TED.com, he's a LinkedIn Learning instructor, contributor to Entrepreneur Magazine and speaks at association events, entrepreneurial groups, and conferences. Jeff coaches self-employed business owners and those looking to leave their corporate job to create the life of their dreams by building a successful self-employed business. He likes to connect with self-employed and small business owners who are ready to ditch choosing between personal happiness and business success, corporate folks who want to do more purposeful work, and event planners looking for an in-person or remote speaker who can engage with audiences, empowering them to create the life and business they want.
