An update from a Music City storage solution-provider.
Notes from Chris
Episode 1986
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 full-time voiceover artist. Other features this year have included a land surveyor who changes careers when he discovers an accidental side hustle painting signs and murals. It’s now a full-time, six-figure business! (And of course, many more…) Today, in our latest feature, we’ll hear from Cecilia Ebrahimi in Nashville, Tennessee. She does a lot of things. She’s a musician, a real estate agent, and she recently bought both a restaurant and something called a salt cave. But what we’re going to hear about is her side hustle with Music City Luggage Lockers. This business offers short term luggage storage for tourists visiting Nashville. What’s happened since? Let’s hear directly from them. I’ll be back at the end to wrap us up. Listen to today's episode to hear Cecilia's updates...MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:
