Episode 939
THEMES & TAKEAWAYS: We’ve just finished week 30 of Season III! This week, we featured a touring ukulele player, a cigar subscription box, and a guy who makes and repairs custom lightsabers. May the force be with you all. Or as the Irish blessing put it: "may the road rise up to meet you, pay off your debt, and increase your bank balances." In real-time we are coming to the month of August, which for some is a slower month. There’s nothing wrong with R&R, but it can also be fun to use downtimes to start a new project, create a product, build a new website, start a podcast, or just collect yourself for everything that’s to come in the next busy season. Today I’ll bring you an audio update from a previously featured side hustler, but first I want to expand on something from the other day. In Ep. 935: Meal Prep Company Cooks up Profits with Customized Orders, Sandeep told us something incredible. He said: "This company has been a passion project for me. It's given me a life purpose, and I can't imagine what I would be doing without it." To learn more about this topic and my thoughts on one of Sandeep's blog posts, listen to to the Recap!
WHERE ARE THEY NOW: Today, we have an update from Reena Goodwin who was featured on the show in Ep. 313. Listen to the Weekly Recap to hear from Reena! You can also check out her website, FACTEUR PR!
