What It's About
An update from a doctor who teaches human anatomy through plush toys.
Notes from Chris
Episode 1391
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. Throughout this year in more than 30 of these stories so far, we’ve had everything from a New York City musician with a blog teaching jazz that becomes a multiple six-figure business and an Australian woman who draws houses. Last week was about a wedding florist in Oklahoma who offers DIY wedding flowers to brides across the country. Today, in our latest feature, we’ll hear from a physician who designs and manufactures plush toys in the shape of human organs. They are used to teach kids about the human body, and as “get well soon” gifts for hospital patients. It is one of those unique businesses that I never would have heard of without starting Side Hustle School. It’s called Nerdbugs:, and we first featured her back in Episode #634.
