LISTENER Q&A:

This week we had a listener email from Paul in Canada and a listener question from Lindsey in North Carolina:

  • Paul just recently retired at the ripe age of 48, and after listening to Side Hustle School every morning during his stretches he's decided to launch a side hustle with all of his newly acquired free time. He has a lot of ideas, and I can't wait to feature him one day on the show!

  • Lindsey and her husband have been considering starting up a business importing products from North Africa, but after hours of research, they can't seem to find a method of shipping that would not be cost prohibitive for them. She called in to ask if I have any recommendations for them regarding shipping partners that will not cost them an arm and a leg to get their products to the U.S.
**Tune into the Weekly Recap to hear my response to Lindsey and learn more about freight forwarders and international shipping options.

If you have something you'd like to ask me or an update you'd like to share, I'd love to hear from you! Leave me a voice message on the website or call in to the Side Hustle Hotline (Dial 844-9-HUSTLE // 844-948-7853), and your question may be featured on the show!
