Today’s episode is a milestone one as we welcome two CEOs to the podcast for the first time. Our guests are Wendy Greenland of Openforce and Mark Warnquist of InShare. It’s particularly appropriate that they’re “sharing” the spotlight as they are both devoted to professionals who work for share platforms - i.e., Uber, Lyft - and companies that employ independent contractors. Openforce is a technology-driven services firm that reduces the operating cost and compliance risk for companies using independent contractors, and Inshare delivers insurance solutions for the sharing (“gig”) economy platform. The two CEOs partnered out of a passion for meeting and serving the needs of independent workers and are continually thinking of ways to work together.  They discuss their commitment to helping contractors who wish to stay independent, what the logistical and legal challenges are, how Covid affected gig workers, how their companies jointly ensure that independent contractors are protected, and how technology solves these challenges.
