LISTENER SHOUTOUTS:

This week we had a check in from a listener named Kaitlin:

  • Thank YOU so much for this show. I am a busy mom of two boys under two. Your show has inspired me to start taking the small amount of free time I have to do something for myself. Though I don't know exactly what my side hustle will be, I do know it will revolve around my obsession with modern cloth diapers. I started building my brand/community on Instagram less than two months ago (@modernbottombabies) and it is going GREAT. I've focused on organic growth and sharing what I love. I have already had the opportunity to work with some awesome brands. Thank you for giving me the push I needed! Now I just have to figure something out to generate income and take the leap!

    Check out Kaitlin's cloth diaper resource website, Modern Bottom Babies!
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!
