Since COVID-19, there has been a 37% increase in portfolio careers. Portfolio careers allow individuals to work on a wide variety of different projects, increased flexibility, and you are able to develop new skills or expand your knowledge level.

We are joined today by our host Sarah Burgess, and coaches Trevor Merriden, and David Mellor. In today’s episode, we look at what a portfolio career is, how you can set up a portfolio career and the tactics you can use to expand it. Furthermore, we will also look at the steps you need to take to start planning for your semi-retirement.
