Becoming a full-time gig worker in 2026: is it worth it?

My friend Dave had me on his newly revamped gigtube channel Wright Ideas to discuss what it's been like a full-time gig worker for the last 8 years. A friend of his, who goes by the moniker "Broseph", is seriously considering quitting his W2 day job and going into full-time gig work. Dave had me on the show to bounce ideas off me and offer as much insight as I could into what being a full-time gig worker in 2026 and beyond will actually entail. NOTE: The podcast actually started about 90 minutes before I arrived. I cut out that part, but you can watch the full 3 hour show on Dave's channel here: https://www.youtube.com/live/br0FnrqvjsI?si=AVP9dfSrzECNcHAg

Is it time to retire from gig work?

I actually had a really good year doing gig work in 2025. I made more money than ever, but why doesn't it feel like it? I'm seriously considering quitting gig work and going back to the W2 world. Steve from Rideshare Rodeo joins me in this collab podcast to discuss.
