Journalist and author Jen A. Miller has figured this stuff out better than most: She has been freelancing for more than 15 years and has developed systems for dealing with the uneven flow of money and paying taxes\u2014which she shares with us in this episode. We also talk about how she balances books (like her memoir Running: A Love Story) with her work as The New York Times\u2019s running correspondent and her less glamorous, more lucrative gigs creating content for business publications and universities. She spills many of her secrets to making a very comfortable living\u2014even during the current pandemic\u2014but you can get even more in her indispensable e-book Notes from a Hired Pen: How I Made $135,000 in One Year of Freelancing.
