Notes from Chris
Episode 778
THEMES & TAKEAWAYS: We’ve just finished week 8 of Season III! This week I was part of a podcast festival in my hometown of Portland, Oregon produced by a good friend of mine, Shauna Noah. It was great to see many of our listeners who were in attendance! I'll have some announcements soon about at least two other events that I’ll be doing elsewhere in the country. In today’s recap: I’m going to share some candid, transparent lessons with you in follow-up to the recent relaunch we did for Side Hustle Society. It was definitely successful overall, but I also learned some things. After these experiences, I try to ask myself, “What could I have done better?”WHERE ARE THEY NOW: Today, we have an update from Janina Klimas, who was featured on the show in Ep. 243. Listen to the Weekly Recap to hear from Janina herself! You can also check out her website, Real Life Language.

Here's what's coming up next...
Each week I'll feature more stories from people who are starting side hustles without quitting their job. Here's a sneak peek of what's coming next week:
- A British millennial keeps her savings in an old-fashioned piggy bank … until it’s stolen! Upon recovering from the loss, she invents an all new career
- Three women create a community to connect girls with caregivers while exploring topics about body image, STEM, and creativity. It’s not a charity; it’s a for-profit, social enterprise
- And much more!
