Episode 827
THEMES & TAKEAWAYS: We’ve just finished week 14 of Season III! This week, we featured a brand of tailor-made teas, two college graduates who start a social media agency, and an epic reselling story of a guy selling headlights and taillights in what is now a six-figure business. On a personal note, I’m also doing a Tough Mudder today with the WDS team. Wish us luck! Follow along on Instagram. In this action-packed recap: I’ll bring you some comments on earning passive income, in addition to a lengthier-than-usual audio update from a previously featured side hustler. These two topics work in tandem.WHERE ARE THEY NOW: Today, we have an update from Jessica Brody who was featured on the show in Ep. 303. Listen to the Weekly Recap to hear from Jessica!
