What It's About
An update from a social experiment that's also a profitable side hustle.
Notes from Chris
Episode 1139
Welcome to Throwback Thursday / “Where are they now?” where we take an in-depth look at someone who’s story has evolved considerably since we first featured them. Recent features have included a guy who runs citywide scavenger hunts all over the country, a Denver woman who leads food tours for up to 700 people a month, and more. Today, in our latest feature, we’ll hear from someone who had an unusual idea. I remember when we first featured him, I looked at some of the initial notes and wasn’t sure it was a good fit for the show. That’s because I didn’t quite understand the project—it seemed more like a fun thing to do, or a meaningful social experiment, but not necessarily a moneymaking business. It turned out that it was all of those things. Listen to today's episode to hear Jesse's updates...MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:
