Notes from Chris
Episode 239
LISTENER SHOUTOUTS: This week we had a check in from a listener named Katie:- "I just made $25 on Upwork! It doesn't sound like much, but this full-time paralegal and mom of an infant is beginning her side hustle. Why did I start? Because my family has debt and I want to help my husband pay it off. This is the first step in giving my son a more secure financial future. Don't know if I'll be a VA as my side hustle or something else, but I have to start somewhere."
