Notes from Chris
Episode 1016
THEMES & TAKEAWAYS: We’ve just finished week 41 of Season III! This week featured a New Zealander who makes shoes for women with larger sizes, as well as the Mexican Swine Flu that led to a $1.5 million virtual language lab … in addition to our first-ever look at the world of mobile notaries. After 1,000 episodes, are we running out of topics? Absolutely not! If anything, the world of side hustles continues to offer more and more possibilities! Today I want to share a story I found in our research for Ep. 1012, about the virtual language lab in Mexico. Ray Blakney, the guy in that story, was very helpful and sent us a ton of notes, including a summary of what he calls “the most boring superpower of all time.” Listen to the Weekly Recap to learn more!WHERE ARE THEY NOW: Today, we have an update from Carolyn who was featured on the show in Ep. 341 — Nonprofit Employee Sells 25,000 Gourmet Ice Pops. Listen to the Weekly Recap to hear from Carolyn! Learn more about Carolyn's business and tasty ice pops at her website, Alchemy Pops:.
