35 side projects and counting - Documentary Producer Jay Acunzo
Giving a man like Jay the job title “Documentary Producer” is about as reductive as it gets, but how do you put a label on someone who does so much? Beginning his career as a sports journalist and going on to work in marketing with companies like Google and HubSpot, Jay is now a freelance show maker, creating video and audio for brands. He’s also an author, podcaster, blogger, and keynote speaker, producing work that covers the creative side of marketing. But the most interesting thing about Jay? Despite how it may seem from the outside, he doesn’t have it all figured out. Hear him open up about a recent confidence crisis, and find out how he overcame it with support form his newly appointed “Manager of Awesome.”

Show Notes
35 side-hustles into a freelance career, with a book, a podcast, and a growing reputation as a keynote speaker, Jay has many strings to his bow.
Watch him give a speech or hear him talk and you’d be forgiven for assuming he has it all figured out. Jay oozes confidence, but he’ll be the first to tell you that he’s making it all up as he goes along.
Only this summer, in fact, Jay thought about leaving it all behind and getting a job. To his credit, he was able to overcome that threatening bout of self-doubt just as quickly as it appeared.
But it just goes to show - even the boldest among us can struggle with being freelance.
