Notes from Chris
Episode 631
THEMES & TAKEAWAYS: I sometimes talk about how you shouldn’t build your business so that it’s dependent on any one platform or network. In this episode, I mention that we at team Side Hustle School got an experience of living that out this week. Our podcast network that we’ve partnered with since first beginning made an announcement that they were no longer going to produce podcasts! It felt a little strange since that was their main business—it was like going to the grocery store and the store saying that they no longer sell food. First of all: we’re not going anywhere. We have plenty of other options to distribute the show, and your listening experience shouldn't change at all. Second: Nothing is sacred or permanent. Don’t put all your trust, attention, or retirement plans in any network, platform, or company. Or even any medium—I love podcasting but everything changes. To hear more, check out today's Weekly Recap!WHERE ARE THEY NOW: This is a new segment we're trying out with the help of side hustlers that we've featured in the past. Today, we have an update from Brent Vaartstra, who was featured on the show in Ep. 69. Listen to the Weekly Recap to hear from Brent himself! You can also check out his website, Learn Jazz Standards.
