Let’s get this purpose driven episode started!

In This Episode You’ll Learn

• How collaboration and sharing your talents, can lead to paid gigs
• Why a ‘service’ mindset lets you focus your attention on what you naturally do best
• How testing your idea first, can give you a sense whether it will produce income
• Does your side hustle need to fill a ‘gap’ to be lucrative

There’s no one right reason for starting a side hustle. For some, it’s to pay down debt. For others it’s a way to explore a new career opportunity. In this episode we learned how two entrepreneurs built their businesses simply by being willing to first offer their services free of charge. It didn’t take too long before demand for their talents grew and so did their bank accounts and businesses.

(2:12.99) Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks’ best business quote

(5:07.95) The side hustle that led to a totally different career

(11:54.99) When is the right time to leave a traditional career path to pursue a side hustle

(13:48.33) The average length of time it takes to turn a side hustle into a full-time business

(18:07.33) How to make money while you’re learning a new skill

(20:38.62) How to work your network without feeling like a used car salesperson.

Jen took us to the beginning of her STEM journey, with the goal to walk the footsteps of Ayanna Howard, but life wanted otherwise. Nevertheless, she found her way to coding. We nostalgically talked about dev-jobs in the 90s and early 2000s. We spoke about web development, accessibility and advocacy.
