Words of Wisdom
The best time to start a side hustle is yesterday! Steven released his public transport app before he felt ready, and by doing so he gained access to a passionate early adopter audience. From day one of the iPhone launch, eager Bay Area commuters downloaded and used the app. As Tanner Callais stated in Ep. 8 "It doesn't have to be perfect, but it has to exist."
Fun Fact
Nearly a decade later, Routesy has almost 40,000 users every weekday and has been downloaded by nearly half a million people. It also produces a steady income of at least $7,500 a month, allowing Steven tremendous flexibility to design the rest of his life however he sees fit.
