Listeners to Unemployable are no strangers to the idea that one person, armed with the internet, affordable technology, and a network of fellow unemployable people can do big things. So you won’t be surprised to hear that the number of one-person businesses earning a million dollars or more a year continues to rise.

Journalist Elaine Pofeldt joins us to share what her intensive research into the growing phenomenon means. The data and her interviews with solo entrepreneurs reveals some interesting things these lucrative lean businesses have in common.
