Episode 967
THEMES & TAKEAWAYS: We’ve just finished week 34 of Season III! This week, we featured a college student who pays for school by baking cheesecakes, a Spanish teacher who hustles on the side, and a blogger who earns $140,000 from her real estate course before it even launches. Today, I’ve got an audio update for you from a good friend of mine, I'll share some interesting insights I learned from a Vice article on phone mining, and I also want to dive deeper into that big, online course success story we featured in Ep. 961 where I'll answer the question, “If it’s so successful, why not keep it open all the time? Why did she do it for only one week and then close it down for six months?” Listen to the Weekly Recap to learn more on these topics and to hear from Joel of MoveWell!
WHERE ARE THEY NOW: Today, we have an update from Joel Runyon who was featured on the show in Ep. 381. Listen to the Weekly Recap to hear from Joel! You can also check out his website, MoveWell!
