Episode 1079
THEMES & TAKEAWAYS: We’ve just finished week 50 of Season III! The final countdown continues. This week featured carnivorous plants (a first for us…), adult coloring books, and two door-to-door salesmen who take out the trash … literally. In my world I’ve been on the road, spending a few days in Amsterdam and two in London before heading back to the U.S. for Christmas. All the Things You Want to Do Two weeks ago I had my Annual Review, and along with this not being a difficult month for a change, I was also really excited about 2020 and some big projects. I’ve already mentioned the major change we’re making for Side Hustle School: it’s The Year of Interaction, where we’ll be featuring listener Q&A throughout the year, as well as rolling out a new series called CLASSROOM.
