Episode 876
THEMES & TAKEAWAYS: We’ve just finished week 21 of Season III! This week, we featured a project that makes custom confetti, a professor who starts a YouTube channel about Marvel video games, and a very hardworking teacher who pays off $100,000 in student loans. Always remember: there is another way. If I could show you nothing else through this process, it’s that the options that have been presented to you are not the only ones available to you. You know when someone says “Would you like A or B?” Often the best answer is to say “I’d like C, my own way.” Creating financial independence for yourself is one of the most important things you can do because it opens up more of those alternative paths. In this action-packed recap: I want to talk about the importance of routines especially in the midst of chaos or a busy life. I’ll also bring you an audio update from a previously featured side hustler.
WHERE ARE THEY NOW: Today, we have an update from Ben Martinez who was featured on the show in Ep. 306. Listen to the Weekly Recap to hear from Ben! You can also check out his website, Sumato Coffee!
