Wisepreneurs Podcast: Independent Professionals Building Expertise
Solopreneur workflow using Airtable, Zapier, and generative AI to run a freelance content business with lean thinking principles.
Anna Burgess Yang left a FinTech executive career to build an independent content writing practice while raising three children.
- She explains how automation tools eliminate repetitive tasks
- How lean principles help her prioritise what actually matters, and
- How generative AI repurposes and expands creative output without replacing her voice
