Notes from Chris

Episode 645
THEMES & TAKEAWAYS: Greetings! In this week's Side Hustle School recap, I respond to a listener question from Jerome: "I think I'll be able to execute, but finding good ideas remains difficult. I am more of a jack of all trades, master of none (I work as a corporate finance advisor). The one thing that does really interest me is history. Have you ever heard about a side hustle related to this subject? People won't pay for online history lessons..."   I think: where there's a will, there's a way. You'd be surprised at what people will pay for. In fact, we've even featured some lessons of people who get paid for their knowledge of history. To hear more, check out today's Weekly Recap. P.S. I'm running a marathon today! Follow along with my Instagram Stories at @193countries.  
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 Dale Janée, who was featured on the show in Ep. 143. Listen to the Weekly Recap to hear from Dale herself! You can also check out her website, Savvy Sleepers.
