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 heard from a sex positive blogger who publishes a long-running site that reviews toys and other adult products. New direction this week: today’s episode, like 99.5% of Side Hustle School, is family-friendly ... it’s also all about plants, which feels like 20% of Side Hustle School recently. In this feature, we’ll hear from Dave Stevens, the founder of IG Works (Indoor Garden), offering smart indoor gardening kits for anyone who wants to grow fresh farm produce year round. They had a hugely successful crowdfunding campaign that we covered in Ep. 888. That was all about the iHarvest, an amazing invention that allows you to grow up to 30 large plants in a small space. They claim that you can grow $1,000 worth of food in a year. What’s happened since? Listen to today's episode to hear Dave's updates...MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:
