00:34:40 Robert Reich: Question for any of the presenters: How are you ensuring that a dependable member of your community, who wishes to freelance for X hours at Y rate, will have consistent work availability?
00:36:07 Adam: So we have this concept of Income Predictability
00:38:55 Janice Stevenor Dale: Isn’t the length of work directly correlated to labor laws in the state/country you’re working within?
00:42:44 Ben Ross: Mark has a question and then I have a couple

00:47:14 Robert Reich: Question: Having managed sizable technical freelance projects previously, where I experienced a loss of talent mid-project, I’m interested in learning how your companies reduce both strategic and technical debt while ensuring the timely delivery of projects.
00:47:26 Martin Kaufman: “Talent satisfaction” is probably an under appreciated marketplace performance driver. Acquiring all that talent isn’t that hard…but keeping a high % of it working and satisfied is difficult. There’s a very good chance that un(der)-utilized freelancers are saying more about your brand than you are. Great to hear how these two companies address this! Kudos!
