What It's About
An update from an accountant who makes a good living ... with spreadsheet templates!
Notes from Chris
Episode 1370
Welcome to Throwback Thursday / “Where are they now?” where we take an in-depth look at someone who’s story has evolved considerably since we first featured them. Last week we featured a fan of old-school board games who has had tremendous success with multiple six-figure crowdfunding campaigns. He just wrapped up a new one that brought in just under a million dollars on Kickstarter. That new game is called Bristol 1350, and it’s about the plague. (This is a coincidence and not connected to COVID-19—they were working on this project for two years.) Today, in our latest feature, we’ll hear from an accountant who sells spreadsheet templates and other financial resources to creatives. Janet LeBlanc is another one of those go-to case studies that I refer to when people say something like “I don’t know how to apply my skills to the world of side hustles.” Listen to today's episode to hear Janet's updates...MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:
