Notes from Chris
Episode 813
THEMES & TAKEAWAYS: We’ve just finished week 12 of Season III! This week, we featured a rosary bead hustle, 50 shades of editing romance novels, a series of pizza parlor tours in Chicago, and more. This episode also comes to you live from Thailand, where I’m working on location for the rest of the week. In today's recap: I’ll bring you TWO audio updates from previously featured case studies. Both of them are people who experienced major changes in their side hustle, one of them in the form of a partnership and the other whose hustle needs to close. What can we take away from these two stories?WHERE ARE THEY NOW: Today, we have TWO updates! One from Miraya Berke, who was featured on the show in Ep. 284 and another from Shahan Fancy, who was featured on the show in Ep. 277. Listen to the Weekly Recap to hear from Miraya and Shahan! You can also check out Miraya's website at Dessert Goals and Shahan's website at Shave Valet.
