Podcast about life as an independent consultant

I'm a member of Umbrex, a network of independent consultants with a background in the top strategic consulting firms. While there are a number of companies out there that uberize the consulting model (i.e., do the client development front-end, the billing/support back-end, and subcontract independent consultants to do the actual work), Umbrex is more of a consultants' pub, or actually members-only club. We may form joint teams when an opportunity warrants, but above all, we exchange ideas, and refer our colleagues to trusted experts or service providers when needed. From a client service perspective, it erodes one of the biggest structural advantages of work in a large consulting firm: the ability to quickly find Someone who knows about the Widget market in Micronesia when that's what unexpectedly bubbled up in the project. 

We also support and challenge each other on the big picture as well as the nuts and bolts of running an independent consulting practice. A lot of this is on a private mailing list, but the founder of Umbrex, Will Bachman, recently launched a publicly-accessible podcast, and this week I'm his guest, talking both about what I do and how I work. 

For anyone else consulting independently, or interested in what it's like, Will's interview with me is #19 of a growing library of episodes, all of which can be listened to not only on the website but as a regular podcast through itunes or other channels.
