The Bloom is partnering with Fiverr, the world's leading freelancing platform trusted by over 3 million businesses for over 15 years, for an open-to-the-public conversation on what it actually takes to build a sustainable freelance career and how independent professionals are shaping the future of work.
Three exceptional speakers, each with a distinct path and a thriving freelance career to show for it, will share their real journeys, and concrete insights.
🎯 In this 90-minute session you will gain:
a realistic and honest view of what sustainable freelancing looks like from the inside
practical frameworks for thinking about positioning, growth, and long-term sustainability
a concrete look at how successful freelancers integrate AI into their work
and inspiration from three very different paths that all lead to the same place: independence that actually works
This session is for freelancers at any stage, whether you are just starting to explore independent work or are already deep in it and looking to build something more intentional.

Emily Pearlman didn't plan to become a freelancer nor an Executive Brand Consultant; it was a natural progression. She first landed her dream role at Google because of her resume. As a marketer, she strategically positioned products, and as a hiring manager, she learned how top talent gets noticed. Over time, she applied this same lens to resumes - first for colleagues, then for clients. What began as a side project quickly grew into a full-time business. Today, she transforms executive resumes and LinkedIn profiles into strategic assets. The kind that: tell clear stories, communicate value quickly, and unlock new opportunities.
