What It's About
A teacher rolls the dice and produces a poetic product.
Notes from Chris
Episode 1836
As we enter Season 6 of Side Hustle School, naturally we’re looking for ways to evolve and bring more helpful, insightful, and interesting content to you—all within the constraint of a brief daily episode, because I know you’re busy. Today’s episode is part of a new feature we’re doing in 2022 called ‘Your First $1,000.’ As you might surmise from the title, this is all about how someone made their first $1,000. Last week we heard from Deya Aliaga Kuhnle, who encouraged you to think of your future self when you’re starting your side hustle. Your future self will thank you for the time and energy you invest now. Today’s feature comes from Taylor Mali. We first featured his story back on Episode #1214: Writing Teacher Rolls Dice On Metaphor Game. That’s what he sells: the writing tool that plays like a game. Specifically, it’s a poetry prompt generator that helps writers of all levels think and write more figuratively. So again, this segment is about someone’s first $1,000—how did he make that happen, what did it feel like, and what did he learn? Let’s hear it from Taylor. I’ll be back at the end to wrap us up, and to tell you about a contest he’s running where he’s going to pay out his first $1,000! Or at least something close … Listen to today's episode to learn more...MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:
