Solopreneur Sessions with Fexingo: One-Person Businesses, Freelancing, and Independent Work

Lucas and Luna explore the rise of the one-person business economy, where individuals trade corporate security for the freedom of going solo. Each episode examines a specific aspect of solopreneurship: how a freelance graphic designer in Berlin built a €300K annual retainer practice without employees, why a former McKinsey consultant launched a solo law firm specializing in digital rights, and what the IRS data on Schedule C filers reveals about income volatility among independent workers. Lucas brings the numbers—tax implications, healthcare costs, retirement strategies for the self-employed—while Luna challenges assumptions about burnout, isolation, and the myth of 'being your own boss.'
