ABOUT
Who is Donn Felker?
Obsessed with freedom, autonomy and self-direction.
Hi, I'm Donn.
I’m the author of Freelance Tactics, and numerous other books. I’m a writer who’s obsessed with mindset, personal freedom and autonomy.
Previously I was deeply immersed in the mobile developer ecosystem, hosting a popular podcast, and building many of the top mobile apps in the world.
I help others design a self-directed life by combining mindset, discipline, and digital creativity to break free from the 9–5.
