Notes from Chris
Episode 1002
THEMES & TAKEAWAYS: We’ve just finished week 39 of Season III! This week featured the wildlife biologist who shoots and scores with gloves for outdoor hockey players, a student who gets a perfect score on the SAT and then builds a $20 million business on the side while going to med school. What can I say, we had to level-up this week… because we crossed over the rubicon to Episode 1,000!! Just some brief comments on this before we keep rolling. I feel really great about this and I don’t mean “Wow, I feel great that I recorded 1,000 episodes” - it really is a team effort - but I feel great because of the community.- - Thanks to all 900+ stories that these 1,000 episodes draw on.
- - Thanks to everyone who has left a review or told their friends about the show.
- - Thanks to everyone in Side Hustle Society.
- - And thanks to all of our listeners.
