Episode 1009
THEMES & TAKEAWAYS:

We’ve just finished week 40 of Season III!

This week featured home-grown mushroom extracts, the hero’s journal, self-publishing ebooks on Kindle, and more.

On that last story, I really liked the lesson on the power of reversable decisions. I’m using it for a blog post this week on The Art of Non-Conformity. It led me to think about a topic I’ll call risk-free side hustles.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW:

Today, we have an update from Jodi from Ohio who was featured on the show in Ep. 317 — Lifelong Girl Scout Earns Her Side Hustle Badge.

Quote of the Day
"With a risk-free side hustle, there’s really no reason why you shouldn’t try it. It literally falls into the ‘What do you have to lose?’ department."
