Notes from Chris
Episode 974
THEMES & TAKEAWAYS: We’ve just finished week 35 of Season III! This week, we featured a U.S. Marine who goes “under cover” to create a sunglasses holder and a British guy who earns millions of dollars selling t-shirts on eBay originally starting from his childhood bedroom. In today’s recap, I have an audio update from someone whose side hustle became their full-time job, and now it’s back to being a side hustle … but she’s still earning six-figures from it! I think most of us will agree that’s an ideal scenario. We'll also revisit Gretchen Rubin's concept of what it means to have a #HappierLaborDay. Listen to the Weekly Recap to learn more!WHERE ARE THEY NOW: Today, we have an update from Julia Kelly who was featured on the show in Ep. 15. Listen to the Weekly Recap to hear from Julia! You can also check out her websites, Rigits and JK Expressions!
