Alexa, what’s my Flash Briefing?

What is an Alexa Flash Briefing?

If you own an Amazon Echo you can set up flash briefings to provide you a quick (usually 1-5 minute) daily overview of just about anything you want. And now anything includes a one minute dose of inspiration from Side Hustle School. Just say “Alexa, what’s my flash briefing?” and you’ll get a sneak peek of one of our 700+ podcast episodes. If the briefing piques your interest you can listen to the full episode on your favorite podcast player or online. There’s a new flash briefing everyday!
