Notes from Chris
Episode 1146
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. So far in these features we’ve had a New York City musician with a blog teaching jazz that becomes a multiple six-figure business, a guy doing city-wide scavenger hunts, and more. Today, in our latest feature, we’ll hear from the person behind one of my favorite stories of all-time. I told her story early on in the podcast and then to audiences in 25 cities during the SIDE HUSTLE tour in the fall of 2017. You’ll hear directly from her, but in short, she has found a very creative way to help new immigrants who are preparing for the U.S. Citizenship exam. She does this without them paying anything for it—but she’s able to earn a significant amount of money because of how she monetizes through YouTube. In fact, in this update she’ll tell us about a huge jump she’s had in subscribers and income since we first featured her.
