Extra Life announced the virtual Power Platform Community High Five event on Monday featuring speakers Arianne Cooper, Sebastian Sochacki, and Francesco Musso.

Design a high-income, low-stress consulting career - without burning out, chasing clients, or sacrificing your life. In Extra Life, experienced consultant and entrepreneur Franco Musso reveals a practical, modern blueprint for thriving in a world where traditional careers are disappearing, AI is reshaping work, and independent professionals are increasingly expected to think like business owners. Drawing on two decades in the Microsoft and enterprise technology ecosystem, Extra Life shows skilled professionals how to move beyond selling time and skills, and instead build a consulting practice designed for freedom, leverage, and longevity. You’ll learn how to position yourself in a profitable niche, attract the right clients without constant pitching, price based on value rather than hours, and design a business that supports the life you actually want to live. Rather than theory or hustle culture, Extra Life focuses on real-world patterns: how top consultants create repeatable demand, turn expertise into scalable assets, protect their time, and avoid the feast-and-famine cycle that traps so many freelancers. The book combines mindset shifts, practical frameworks, and step-by-step playbooks covering positioning, marketing, sales, delivery, and long-term sustainability. Packed with real examples, reflection exercises, and AI-assisted prompts, Extra Life helps you build confidence not just as a specialist, but as a commercially aware professional who can navigate uncertainty, win work on your terms, and design a career that works for you. Ideal for consultants, freelancers, technologists, and professionals transitioning out of employment, Extra Life is a guide to creating a calm, profitable, freedom-first business in the modern economy.
