THEMES & TAKEAWAYS: We’ve just finished week 13 of Season III! This week, we featured tarot cards, an art blog, pins for cocktail lovers, and a woman who solves a highly personal problem involving shapewear and going to the bathroom. All in a week’s work, right? In this action-packed recap: I’ll bring you some further reflections from one of this week’s case studies, in addition to an audio update from a previously featured side hustler. But first!

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:
- Two hustlers are part of the first wave of college students to use Facebook, and it doesn’t take long for them to see how big it could become—and how much money they could make with it
- When two friends find themselves in a turbulent journalism industry that eventually closes its doors to them, they strike out on their own—but not before finding more stable jobs first
- And much more!
