Notes from Chris
Episode 519
LISTENER CHECK-INS + QUESTIONS: This week, we received listener voicemails from Dave, Chris, and Brenna:- Dave: "Hey, Chris! I just wanted to say that I'm binge listening to the show on the weekends like I usually do when I'm working around the house. Love the show, love the inspiration—keep up the good work!"
- Chris was one of the original podcasters, but what he's working on now is a Kickstarter football board game called Friday Night Legends. He recently met his Kickstarter goal, and now he's working on getting the word out!
- Brenna has a question about the pros and cons of having a social media page like Facebook for your side hustle. In Ep. 404, the Being Boss podcasting duo decided to close down their Facebook page, and she's wondering if there are certain side hustles that really benefit from having a Facebook page or if the whole thing is unnecessary. In today's recap, we'll delve more into this topic of whether or not you really need a Facebook page—listen to the Weekly Recap to learn more!
