Notes from Chris
Episode 925
THEMES & TAKEAWAYS: We’ve just finished week 28 of Season III! This week, we featured on-the-go energy gel for mountain bikers, profitable paint-by-numbers kits, and a BBQ hustle that smokes out the competition. This week, we’ll delve into the topic of ideal working conditions. Generally speaking, when people think about career decisions, they don’t pay nearly enough attention to working conditions. How much control you have over your schedule and how collaborative you like to be makes a huge difference in your happiness. We also have an audio update from the guy who made Swoveralls!WHERE ARE THEY NOW: Today, we have an update from Kyle Bergman who was featured on the show in Ep. 394. Listen to the Weekly Recap to hear from Kyle! You can also check out his website!
