With Jack - Be a confident freelancer.

"With Jack found so much value in previous Leapers studies on mental health and used a lot of the findings to educate and help our own customers.

This is why we wanted to support the 2025 study so more freelancers can be aware of the struggles of self-employment and feel less alone, which ties into our ethos of helping you be a confident freelancer."
