Notes from Chris
Episode 162
LISTENER EMAILS: Our listener emails for this week come to us from Michelle and Simon:- Michelle says, "I listen to your podcast on the subway, while making dinner, and I even listen to it with my children. I have told many friends and co-workers about Side Hustle School podcast, and I just love to hear the great ideas others have had. I'm not sure what my side hustle should be yet (I'm a teacher), but I'm hoping to be sparked soon. Thanks!"
- Simon says, "I think most people (myself included sometimes) are caught between the headlights of a fear of failure and the ideal of perfection. Well, the biggest takeaway from the Side Hustle stories is: start, improve, and learn. Once you’ve done something once it takes away the fear." To hear more from these listener emails, tune into the Weekly Recap. If you have something you'd like to say, I'd love to hear from you! Please send all messages to chris@sidehustleschool.com.
