THEMES & TAKEAWAYS: We’ve just finished week 17 of Season III! This week, we featured a zip-up solution for baggy shirts, a plant-based meal-planning service that just started and already has 300 subscribers, an avid book reader who resells used books on Instagram, and so much more. In this action-packed recap: I have a really interesting question from a listener. I’ll bring you an audio update from a previously featured side hustler—two of them, in fact. (One update, two people.) But first! For this week only, my publisher is offering the e-book version of SIDE HUSTLE: From Idea to Income in 27 Days for just $1.99 on several popular e-reading formats, including Amazon Kindle, Nook, Kobo, and more.
WHERE ARE THEY NOW: Today, we have an update from Alicia Ostarello & Angie Sommer who were featured on the show in Ep. 271. Listen to the Weekly Recap to hear from Alicia and Angie! You can also check out their website, Vow Muse.
EPISODES FROM THIS WEEK: Here's what we heard this week on Side Hustle School! Listen to this week's recap for a more comprehensive highlight reel.
  • Ep. 842 - A Canadian Communications Officer and lover of plant-based food starts a meal prep service, earning $2,000 in monthly recurring revenue within her first three months
