Notes from Chris

Episode 2192

Hey everyone a crazy thing has happened … a New Year has arrived.

I know it’s been happening around this time for quite a while—maybe at least a few decades—but I’m always surprised when it rolls around. I’m recording this during the last few days of 2022.

If the world hasn’t ended, most likely you’re hearing this in 2023. We made it!

Most years, we get a new group of listeners joining in January, and perhaps some people who are re-joining. So in this short inaugural episode, I’d like to spend just a few minutes today reorienting us.

The mission of Side Hustle School is to help you create a new source of income without quitting your job. To be specific, this isn’t about the gig economy or just working two jobs, but actually creating significant revenue (aka money) through an asset you create.

We have featured hundreds of real people (not “entrepreneurs”) who have done this. And in the show, we look at the practical nuts and bolts of how you can do this for yourself. This includes everything from generating the right idea down to the full implementation and marketing of the idea.

Our values are being frugal and resourceful, but also being willing to invest in yourself—because you want to achieve a positive return!

In case you’re curious about me, I’m an author and entrepreneur. I’ve always worked for myself. I was an aid worker for several years, and then I started a blog called The Art of Non-Conformity, which also documented my journey to every country in the world. I feel really fortunate to connect with a global community of awesome people doing interesting things.

This is all free! Nothing’s for sale, there is literally no way to give me money on the Side Hustle School site. More than 2,000 episodes are freely available. How is this possible? Well... because we do have sponsors, and I appreciate them.

Every episode has just two sponsor messages, one at the beginning and one partway through. We try to choose partners who are both on-brand and that are making truly valuable offers to you. I hope you’ll find some of them helpful, but there’s never any pressure.
