On Monday, June 15, the Democratic primary candidates for New York’s 12th Congressional District (which covers much of the East Side of Manhattan, Roosevelt Island, Western Queens, Greenpoint, and Williamsburg) joined Freelancers Union President Rafael Espinal for a virtual forum on the issues at stake in this year’s election. Rep. Carolyn Maloney, Peter Harrison, Suraj Patel, and Lauren Ashcraft all joined the conversation, which can now be viewed on our YouTube channel. Rep. Carolyn Maloney, who has held the seat since 1993, is currently the chair of the powerful House Committee on Appropriations, which controls government spending. She highlighted her long history in Congress and her role in passing the CARES Act, which included historic unemployment insurance protections for nontraditional workers, and the passage of the HEROES Act, a second stimulus package that passed the House but is currently being held by the Senate. One of the components of the HEROES Act is $100 billion set aside for rent assistance for low-income renters, plus an extended moratorium on evictions and foreclosures for those in federally funded housing. Peter Harrison, a housing activist and professor of information technology at Baruch College, has been a resident of the district for 14 years, and began his activist work when he organized his rent-stabilized neighbors in Stuyvesant Town, who were subject to a harassment campaign by their landlord. He has worked as a policy advisor on housing issues for Data for Progress, which contributed to the housing platforms of presidential candidates Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, and Julian Castro, as well as the national campaign Homes Guarantee. Having been a director of the CUNY Startups Accelerator, Harrison says he has a deep understanding of the challenges self-employed people face. His platform also includes a first-of-its-kind proposal for free public transportation and expanded bike and pedestrian access, which would make New York city greener as well as more affordable. He acknowledged that future federal stimulus payments should include undocumented workers, and he emphatically asserts the need to cancel rent for the duration of the pandemic. Harrison highlighted the need for universal safety nets like Medicare for All, housing guarantees, and Education for All, which would allow labor unions to advocate for better quality-of-life benefits for their members. Suraj Patel, a lawyer and professor of business ethics at NYU, ran in this district two years ago, when he was Rep. Maloney's only opponent and garnered 40% of the vote. He supports a job-seeker’s allowance that would act like unemployment insurance for those who are looking for employment, including freelancers. He spoke in strong support of the Black Lives Matter movement, and is a supporter of Corey Booker’s Baby Bonds plan, which would help combat the racial wealth gap by providing children in lower-income families with an “opportunity account” of up to $50,000 by age 18. Patel said he supports canceling student debt as well as implementing free education through college, eradicating the for-profit college system, and changing the way professional and grad school debt is repaid, essentially tying payments to the graduate’s income and ability to find a job within that professional field. He highlighted the fact that PPP failed because it is tied to the traditional banking system, which leaves out many MWBEs and those in underserved communities, and he advocates for the Federal Reserve to create a bank account for every American. Lauren Ashcraft, a comedian and longtime freelancer, highlighted that as a performer, “I’ve been paid in every way possible,” drawing attention to the struggle many freelancers face to be compensated fairly for their work. When describing her personal experience as a freelancer, Ashcraft illustrated the real-world vulnerability of having healthcare tied to employment and losing access to care as a result of losing a job. A longtime disability rights activist, she uses her platform to advocate for accessibility in New York, where the majority of the subway system is inaccessible to those who use wheelchairs. She supports Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, and canceling rent. She also called for the end of the War on Drugs and to defund the police, ending the military-industrial complex that gives local police forces tanks and rocket launchers while public education goes unfunded. Ashcraft was the only candidate to acknowledge the thorny nature of the misclassification issue, applauding the legislation that some states are working on to protect those contract workers who are exploited by employers that refuse to give them the rights of employees, while asserting that true freelancers must be recognized as a legitimate workforce under labor law. Many of these issues, she says, could be solved by universal safety nets like Medicare for All, unlinking health care benefits from employers and providing basic protections to all workers, so that companies would have no financial incentive to misclassify. Ashcraft, Harrison, and Patel all drew attention to the fact that NY-12 is one of the most unequal districts in the country, with many low-income constituents of color living in public housing, including the Queensbridge Houses, while those on the Upper East Side are among the top 0.01%, and they discussed their plans for racial justice. All of the candidates said they would support a federal version of the Freelance Isn’t Free Act. New York's primary election is June 23, 2020, and early voting is open now. (You can find where to vote early here - it's not the same as your usual polling place.) If you have an absentee ballot, it must be postmarked by June 23 in order for your vote to be counted. via Freelancers Union Blog https://blog.freelancersunion.org/2020/06/18/new-york-congressional-candidates-forum-on-freelance-issues/

I Have Things to SayMy friend and colleague, Jason Leenaarts, was kind enough to invite me back onto his popular podcast recently (this time without my wife) to discuss the future of the fitness industry. We talk about why studios like CORE should be considered different entities from box gyms and group exercise formats in light of the pandemic. We also discuss how all of my businesses: speaking engagements, travel, and online programs have been affected and how I plan to move forward. There’s also a few insights into my recent Achilles injury and how I’m mapping my way around that. Give it a listen here: Or, if you’re an Apple snob you can download the episode on iTunes HERE.

This article was first published by the IRS and has been reproduced with permission. Subscribe to IRS tax tips here. With the new federal tax date (July 15) approaching, many taxpayers have filed their federal tax returns electronically and the IRS is back to processing paper tax returns sent by mail. If you're expecting a refund, beware of these common myths. Getting a refund this year means there's no need to adjust withholding for 2020To help avoid a surprise next year, taxpayers should make changes now to prepare for next year. One way to do this is to adjust their tax withholding with their employer. This is easy to do using the Tax Withholding Estimator. This tool can help taxpayers determine if their employer is withholding the right amount. This is especially important for anyone who got an unexpected result from filing their tax return this year. This could have happened because the taxpayer's employer withheld too much or too little tax from the employee's paycheck in 2019. If you pay estimated taxes and are expecting a refund, that's a sign that you should take another look at the 1040-ES worksheet to get a more accurate estimate. Remember that you can revise your estimated payment amount every quarter if your income has changed dramatically. Calling the IRS or a tax professional will provide a better refund dateMany people think talking to the IRS or their tax professional is the best way to find out when they will get their refund. The best way to check the status of a refund is online through the Where's My Refund? tool or the IRS2Go mobile app. Taxpayers can call the automated refund hotline at 800-829-1954. This hotline has the same information as Where's My Refund? and IRS telephone assistors. There is no need to call the IRS unless Where's My Refund? says to do so. Ordering a tax transcript is a secret way to get a refund dateDoing so will not help taxpayers find out when they will get their refund. Where's My Refund? tells the taxpayer their tax return has been received and if the IRS has approved or sent the refund. Where's My Refund? must be wrong because there's no deposit date yetUpdates to Where's My Refund? on both IRS.gov and the IRS2Go mobile app are made once a day. These updates are usually made overnight. Even though the IRS issues most refunds in less than 21 days, it's possible a refund may take longer. If the IRS needs more information to process a tax return, the agency will contact the taxpayer by mail. Taxpayers should also consider the time it takes for the banks to post the refund to the taxpayer's account. People waiting for a refund in the mail should plan for the time it takes a check to arrive. Where's My Refund? must be wrong because a refund amount is less than expectedThere are several factors that could cause a tax refund to be larger or smaller than expected. Situations that could decrease a refund include:
The IRS will mail the taxpayer a letter of explanation if these adjustments are made. Some taxpayers may also receive a letter from the Department of Treasury's Bureau of the Fiscal Service if their refund was reduced to offset certain financial obligations. via Freelancers Union Blog https://blog.freelancersunion.org/2020/06/17/beware-these-myths-about-tax-refunds/
https://tonygentilcore.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Shoulder-pain-1024x654.jpg
If you have a shoulder (or two) chances are there’s been a time in your life where things haven’t felt great. This sentiment is only amplified if you happen to be someone who lives an active lifestyle playing sports and/or enjoys lifting heavy things. There are a myriad of culprits that can lead to shoulder pain. Likewise, there are a myriad of solutions. For me, almost always, I find the “fix” for most people is improving their scapular kinematics; specifically scapular upward rotation and protraction. Form Fix: Forearm Wall SlideOne of the staple drills I like to use to accomplish the above (scapular upward rotation & protraction) is the Forearm Wall Slide. Admittedly, it’s a simple looking thingamabobber of a drill. I mean, all you do is move your arms up and down on a foam roller, right? Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Alas, simple in appearance, not so simple in execution. TOP VIDEO showcases two common faults I see when most people perform this drill. ❌ Reps 1-3 = depressed or “pinned down” scapula. Incessantly cueing your clients/athletes to retract & depress the shoulder blades has ramifications. Sure, it’s an excellent cue to lift a metric shit ton of weight. There’s a reason why we tell people to bring their shoulder blades together and down during a bench press. However, the scapula is meant to move around the ribcage and it’s imperative for overall shoulder health. When someone is pelted over the head with “together & down, together & down” cues the end result is a shoulder blade that’s cemented in a downwardly rotated position. This can (not always) lead to shoulder ouchies. ❌ Reps 4-6 = shrugging pattern. The upper traps do play a significant role in shrugging (elevation). Shrugging, however, is NOT upward rotation. In both scenarios there’s no “real” upward rotation happening. The drill is ineffective. Bye, Felicia. BOTTOM VIDEO showcases what we actually want to see happen.
It’s crucial when choosing certain drills – even the seemingly simple looking ones – that they’re executed the right way. The details and nuances matter. Did what you just read make your day?

For writers, it's not uncommon to receive hundreds of rejection letters every year. After your first few dozen, this industry can start to feel soul-crushing. You might start wondering why you bother, or, even worse, feel like you don’t have what it takes. This is when you have to keep going, no matter what, so that you can achieve your writing dreams. Here's how to recover when rejection has you doubting yourself: 1. Remember that feedback is subjective.When it comes to writing, all feedback is subjective. There’s no doubt about it. One editor might think that your piece is the best thing since sliced bread. Another editor might think that it’s lacking in description, because he loves pieces with extensive description about everyone and everything. Neither one is better or worse, just different. The bottom line is that each editor has very different tastes, and it can affect their decisions when it comes to your writing. Even tougher to swallow, an editor might really enjoy your piece but it doesn't fit with what her magazine is publishing right now. These are all aspects of the publishing world that you have to keep in mind. 2. Take constructive feedback to heart.On occasion, editors will give you helpful advice about what is and what is not working in your piece. Take this advice to heart. They know what they are talking about, and have taken their valuable time to provide you with their insights. This means a lot because editors have extremely busy schedules and wouldn’t take the time to provide you with feedback unless they really believed in you as a writer. 3. Keep writing.Even if you have gotten what feels like a million rejections, it is important to continue to submit your writing to contests, agents, editors, and magazines. You never know when it will get published. The only way to improve your craft is to continue practicing it. If you are really struggling with this, consider taking a writing class. You'll have the opportunity to practice writing in a supportive space, and can learn some valuable techniques for improving your chances at publication later. 4. Keep submitting.Your writing might be being rejected for a number of reasons. Maybe you need to improve your writing skills so that your pieces have more focus. Maybe you simply need to write the best query letters known to mankind. Maybe you need to do more research to find the right editors who will be receptive to your work. Maybe you need to spend a few more minutes editing your work before you submit it. Whatever it is, address the issue and continue submitting your work. Practice makes perfect, as they say. 5. Explore other methods of publishing your work.Maybe you are set on being traditionally published if you are an author. If you’ve queried every agent on the planet and not one of them has agreed to publish your work, publish it yourself. If you do so, make sure that your work is edited thoroughly and that your cover art is compelling. You’ll have to do a lot of marketing, but it could be a huge hit. You never know. If you are only targeting high-profile, "name" publications, try focusing on smaller publications to build up your portfolio. If you are only submitting your work to magazines, try submitting it to writing contests as well. This could work wonders for your career. Whatever you do, never give up. Keep writing every day. Continue pursuing your dreams and working hard. I assure you that it will pay off if you remain consistent. via Freelancers Union Blog https://blog.freelancersunion.org/2020/06/16/how-writers-deal-with-rejection/

Today, Freelancers Union is launching an ambitious new study with researchers at Old Dominion University and the University of Minnesota, all about YOU. Over the past 10 years, the freelance workforce has grown steadily, with more young people choosing freelance work over traditional employment in 2019. In just the three months of my tenure as Freelancer’s Union’s president, I’ve witnessed the shockwaves from the coronavirus pandemic, driving many people to try freelancing for the first time while massively impacting your ability to work. But the public’s understanding of what freelancers do hasn’t caught up with our reality. Within Freelancers Union, too, we know it’s time for a closer look inward. Twenty-five years ago, the face of our membership was predominantly white, upper-middle-class professionals in New York City. With more than half a million members today, there’s so much more to who we are. It’s my goal to make sure that the work we do as a Union represents every single one of you. As we focus more on advocacy, it’s crucial that I know we are standing up for your needs, no matter where you are in the country or how you identify. This study will help us get a better picture of the diverse backgrounds, professions, and personalities that make up the fullness of our community. How it works:The purpose of the study is to learn about what drives you to choose freelancing, the experiences you have had as a freelancer, and some general background information about you (e.g., the type of work you do, demographics). If you choose to participate, you will be assigned to one of two groups:
Each survey takes about 15 minutes to complete. All responses are kept anonymous and confidential. Start the survey now.
The study will be open for about a month, following which we will have a detailed report of its findings that we can share with our members. We’re in a time of immense change. I’ve heard from many of you that you want to be more involved in your Freelancers Union community, to stand up together to work toward a better future. Participating in this study is a small commitment that will have an enormous benefit for us all. via Freelancers Union Blog https://blog.freelancersunion.org/2020/06/15/freelancers-union-launches-ambitious-new-study/

THE WEEKLY BRIEF UPDATE1. I’ll start with a brief #achillesgate2020 update. It’s been a little over a week and a half since my surgery and things seem to be progressing nicely. I mean, I’m not really doing anything: NOTE: don’t show my surgeon THIS. But for all intents and purposes I’m doing my best to keep weight off my affected side and to not be too (too) stupid. I have zero pain, which is excellent, and the only thing that’s making me go mad is the splint & bandage around my leg. I want nothing more than to rip them off, but I am under strict orders not to touch them until I see my surgeon this coming Tuesday. I’m hopeful he’ll take a peek and recommend I can start physical therapy as soon as possible. If not, I may have to do all I can to restrain myself from tossing my face into a brick wall. Updates to follow! 2. Oh, hey, have you checked out my new CORE @ Home platform yet? It’s designed so that I can deliver workouts you can perform at home – pants optional – using minimal equipment. You have two options:1. Subscribe for FREE and receive one workout per week. 2. Subscribe for $29.00 and receive three workouts per week (in addition to special content). My hope is that it helps take the thinking out of things and keeps people more accountable to workout more consistently. For more information go HERE. SOCIAL MEDIA SHENANIGANS

Though I can’t recall what I said exactly, it was something along the lines of “I've been waiting for the weekend.” As those words left my lips, there was a subtle change in the atmosphere of the car, as if there was now some judgement mixed with the cool air of the air conditioner. That’s when someone said out loud what was probably roller-skating in everyone’s mind: “But you work from home, why do you care about the weekend?” *Cue internal sigh* I can't lie; I knew it was coming. For a moment I was speechless. Not because I didn’t have an answer, but because I couldn’t understand how someone couldn’t understand. Perhaps because I am a writer, people assume I type whatever I like on a blank screen and sell a skill that apparently everyone has for money that just slips out of my laptop’s vent. As a serious freelance writer, I feel like a hamster running on a wheel that no one can see. I spend most days of my week working. When the weekend rolls in, I take a break, because it’s 2020 and self-care is worth more than a dime. Kidding. I take time off because regrouping and refreshing are important to ensure your tank doesn’t run out of productivity fuel for the next week. Besides, with some work seeping into my off hours all five days of the week, I don’t want to burn out. Still wondering why I care as much about my weekend as any 9-to-5er? Here’s an inside look at the why: 1. Freelancing comes with an awful lot of stress.A United Nations study from 2017 found that 41% of remote workers are highly stressed, compared to 25% of office goers. The same study also found that more remote workers struggled with insomnia than regular cubicle workers. And no, they don’t have trouble sleeping because they nap throughout the day, as many assume. What’s the reason behind these higher stress markers? The authors of the report said that those who work from home have “longer working hours, higher work intensity and work-home interference.” But that’s not all. As a freelancer, I have to manage quite a few clients at once. Also add to the list:
2. It can be a literal pain in the neck.Sure, there are lots of perks of freelance work — there’s flexibility, no exhaustion from a commute, no need to get dressed in the morning. But there’s a 24/7 fear of not progressing, not getting the time to relax and unwind. A 2005 study published in Work & Stress concluded that freelancers struggled with “chronic strain and a reduced ability to relax.” Researchers said long working hours, along with a fluctuating workload, kept freelancers anxious, which has a number of physical effects. Couldn’t agree more. Furthermore, an Epson study found that 25% of freelancers experienced depression due to isolation. Another study concluded that teleworking left workers with more physical and mental fatigue, as home and job stress bled into one another. So, let’s bust the myth that shouldn’t need busting: Work is work no matter where you do it. You need to train your eyes away from the screen and give your back a break. 3. There are no clear boundaries.To get any work done, you need to be in a state of flow. But, if I’m being honest, just being at home gets me sucked into the black hole of home chores and stress one way or another. Even if only a few minutes of every work hour go to home-related stuff, that’s hampered flow and lost time. This means that after my work hours come to an end, I still have some work left because of distractions during the day. Which means I have to dedicate additional time to my work. Since my home is technically my office and vice versa, my work-life balance often gets toppled. In the after-work hours, I’m usually checking my mailbox and social media channels. I take off on the weekends because that’s the only time I allow myself to temporarily separate from my laptop. One Buffer report proves I’m not the only teleworker unable to unplug. In fact, 22% of remote workers have difficulty unplugging once their work hours end. There’s also the con that, unlike employees, freelancers do not have paid holidays. This means the choice to take a break comes with sacrificed bucks. Moreover, they have to pre-plan their vacations carefully and may have to even work during vacations. A recent survey by HoneyBook found that 92% of freelancers in the U.S. work even when on vacations. Why?
Considering how weekdays are filled to the brim and there are no paid vacays in sight, I really need weekends to myself. 4. There’s a lot on my plate.Client work is not all that my time goes to. To thrive as a freelancer, marketing is key. This means I spend time building my online presence, nurturing relationships with prospects, and more. To create engagement, regular blogging, social media posting, and excellent communication are musts. All this takes a lot of time and effort, which adds to the to-do list. Simple translation: I certainly need a break on weekends from all this. Freelancers have it great but hard. They have to juggle work and life from the same spot, handle multiple bosses, chase more work, and market themselves too. Remote work is scary. There’s flexibility but no breaks, and there’s loneliness, too. There’s no Chris from the neighboring cubicle, no Shelly to meet at the water cooler, and no one to sneak out for coffee with. So, let me say this one more time, louder for those in the back: Weekends mean a lot to a freelance writer like me who works her brain off all week long. via Freelancers Union Blog https://blog.freelancersunion.org/2020/06/12/you-deserve-a-weekend/

As a business coach for creative entrepreneurs and freelancers, two of the biggest challenges creatives tell me they struggle with are marketing and sales. So, when the coronavirus hit us like a bolt from the blue this March, and as unrest across the country continues to magnify the deep wounds of oppression and injustice, I knew independent creative professionals might benefit from some extra support through this uncharted territory. During the webinars and Q&As I have hosted recently (including one for the lovely Freelancers Union community!), one of the most common expressions of this fear was: “I don’t want to be seen to be opportunistic when so many people are suffering.” And I completely relate. With the fear of coming across as insensitive or tone-deaf, one could be forgiven for freezing and not putting yourself or your business out there. But, as creative entrepreneurs and freelancers who support our clients in all kinds of amazing ways, we need to talk about sales. Because without sales, you have no business. Yes, sales and marketing will (and should) look different right now, but this is not a time to go dark. This is an opportunity to be the most tenacious and creative version of yourself, to be a force for good, and be the guiding light your clients and customers need. So, just as the flower grows through the crack in the concrete, let’s take a look at four integrity-driven strategies for selling during a crisis. 1. Put yourself in your client’s shoes.I’m willing to bet that you’ve received a ton of tone-deaf sales solicitations in the last couple of weeks. I know I have. And they can feel pretty triggering, right? So, let’s not do that! But I’ve also received emails and offers, often with generous terms (free shipping, longer payment terms, or a discount) or meaningful charitable components that will serve and support me and my community as we rebuild and grow from this crisis. Instead of putting the kibosh on all sales until it feels less icky (which is likely your problem with sales, not your clients’, BTW!), think about what would really serve them right now. Do you need to adjust your offering, your terms, or pay structure? When you approach sales from what your clients need from you, I promise you won’t go too far wrong. 2. Reach out.Have you ever failed to ask a friend how they’re doing after a parent dies/they have a miscarriage/get fired, etc., for fear of upsetting them further? I have, and I’ve learned it is always a mistake to not reach out. Even if your friend doesn’t want to talk about it, they’ll know you care and will appreciate you for it. Crises and clients are no different. Your clients are scared, feeling alone with some pretty heavy stuff, and they need to hear from you. Be proactive and instigate an honest conversation about where they’re at, what they need, and what support from you looks like. They’ll remember that you held the space for them when they needed it and thank you for it later. 3. Make a plan.Once you’re in an honest dialogue with your clients, you can put your heads together and make a plan for what’s next. Things will likely have changed for them, so bring your beautiful and adaptable creative mind to their business and help them see a path they might not be able to see themselves. Be prepared to get creative with payment and delivery terms as needed (which is not the same as slashing your prices…more to come on that later). 4. Don’t take 'no' personally.People don’t always show up as their best selves when they’re afraid, and they might be acting from a place of scarcity. If a client goes dark, pulls the plug, or generally takes you by surprise with not-so-cool behavior, know that it’s probably not about you. Give them the benefit of the doubt, offer to be there when they need you, and check in regularly. Yes, it’s easier said than done, but such a personal development win that even if you never hear from them again, you’ll be a better person for it. I know this time is really, really hard. It’s OK to feel scared, freaked out, mad — whatever’s coming up for you. But what we can control right now is how we show up and share our value with the world, as well as how we support others with our dollars. This is not a time to shrink, but rather to express more fully, and yes, that includes letting people know you exist (marketing) and creating a path for a fair exchange of your value, time, and expertise for their money (sales). via Freelancers Union Blog https://blog.freelancersunion.org/2020/06/10/how-to-market-yourself-mindfully-during-a-crisis/ |
