Notes from Chris
Episode 1009
THEMES & TAKEAWAYS: We’ve just finished week 40 of Season III! This week featured home-grown mushroom extracts, the hero’s journal, self-publishing ebooks on Kindle, and more. On that last story, I really liked the lesson on the power of reversable decisions. I’m using it for a blog post this week on The Art of Non-Conformity. It led me to think about a topic I’ll call risk-free side hustles. Listen to the Weekly Recap to learn more!WHERE ARE THEY NOW: Today, we have an update from Jodi from Ohio who was featured on the show in Ep. 317 — Lifelong Girl Scout Earns Her Side Hustle Badge. Listen to the Weekly Recap to hear from Jodi! Learn more about Jodi's business at her website, Leader Connecting Leaders.
