Notes from Chris

Episode 701
THEMES & TAKEAWAYS: Well, everyone, we made it to 700 episodes! Our starting date of January 1, 2017 still feels like yesterday ... but actually, it was 699 days ago. I'm so glad to be able to make Side Hustle School for you every day! 🎉🙏🏼 Over here I'm heading out on my Annual Review, where I spend much of the week reflecting on the year that's ending and making plans for the year to come. If you'd like to learn how to do your own review, check out this new post on my blog. Also, this week on the podcast featured a dog lover who makes up to $250,000 a year selling "dog threads"—AKA matching clothing for dogs and the humans who love them. On another note, are you still wondering what to get someone this holiday season? Give them a podcast! (Good news: it's free.) This is especially great for all those people who want "experiences, not stuff." Podcasts are a great experience!
