Knowledge should be free.
Experience, priceless.
Freelancers need better access to knowledge, skills, and tools to build thriving careers. That's our focus.
Hey Rebekah is a free daily newsletter for freelancers. Everything we create is available for free to our readers and always will be. Not on the list? 👇🏼
Who TF is Rebekah Radice?
According to the interwebs, Rebekah Radice is one of the top digital marketing experts in the world. She's an OG influencer and a self-employed professional since 1998.
In 2019, she started BRIL.LA, a woman-owned CX agency with her longtime colleague Ambreen Dar—who prefers protegé, not sidekick.
Hey Rebekah came about after receiving thousands of questions from the community. We realized we could do a lot more to help self-employed professionals everywhere.
We're starting with a free daily newsletter to do just that.
Together, we're on a mission to help freelance professionals build thriving careers, so they can experience the joy of financial freedom and success.
Let's check the replay

Realizing we still got a lot of game left, we're committed to passing on our Legos and open-sourcing our playbooks. Some milestones we've achieved:

Net Promoter Score®

Bottles of Pepto Bismol
Dayyum, the journey hasn't been a cake walk. But we're still at it. Part of why we're here is to help you avoid the costly mistakes we've made.
Hair follicles on heads
OK, yes, we needed an attention grabbing metric to balance the flex child layout of this component. But seriously, Sam’s hair loss is no joking matter.
