One of the questions we get asked pretty frequently is about what gear you need to start freelancing. Early on you're going to have a fairly irresistible urge to buy all the gear you think you'll need, and you might even think that having better gear will make you a better freelancer, or even bring in more clients. Spoiler alert: it won't. In this episode Adam talks with bff and Droi Media superfan Pat Brown, who has been freelancing full-time for over a decade, about what gear they started out with, what equipment they recommend new freelancers focus on now, and the importance of slowly building your kit up over time.
