Subcontracting = Invisible?

Subcontracting can feel like a smart move—until you realize your business is quietly disappearing into someone else's brand. Sound familiar? In this solo episode, Preston digs into a question from Garrett, a 30-year-old nonprofit consultant who's starting to wonder: am I building my business... or just theirs? He's been subcontracting for a seasoned consultant, and the lines between "partnership" and "being swallowed up" are getting blurry fast. Merge, stay, or go solo? Preston walks through how to test your market without blowing up a valuable relationship, set real boundaries before resentment kicks in, and make the leap from subcontractor to independent consultant—without burning the bridges that got you here.
