Notes from Chris
Episode 1037
THEMES & TAKEAWAYS: We’ve just finished week 44 of Season III This week featured a trio of young brothers who turn frozen treats into a hot business, a poker-playing Yale student who ends up building a $90,000/month consulting firm (not by playing poker), and more. Over here, I’m excited to be going to Australia this week—my favorite country. Last week’s Recap focused on assets. I gave you the assignment to make a list of your assets and consider how you can add to that list. Today’s audio update from a previously featured case study is a great example of the distinction between a low-level side hustle and a real asset, which is really what this whole project is about. (I should have called it Side Asset School, but no one would get that. Now that you’ve been here for a while, feel free to think of it like that...) Also, in Ep. 1033, about that guy who played poker at Yale and then moved to California, eventually building an incredible business, there were two key reasons why it worked so well. Listen to the Weekly Recap to learn more!WHERE ARE THEY NOW: Today, we have an update from Harry a.k.a "the Rideshare Guy". Ep. 375 — Aerospace Engineer Becomes Full-Time Rideshare Expert.
