ah, the side hustle. i’ve become somewhat of a (self-proclaimed) expert at doing random things on the side over the course of my life.

in the last few years i’ve created udemy courses, launched a self-published book (under a fake name – not proud of this one), done marketing consulting, launched an email course (with a paid back-end), airbnb’ed my apartment, traded stocks, bought cryptocurrency (my best investment to date), bought a condo and put it on airbnb, wrote a book (a good one), bought a business (and now another one), put affiliate links on my site, given paid talks, written book summaries, and built an affiliate site for a basketball dribbling course i never took (also not proud of this one).

and those are just the ones that worked! i’ve tried tons of other things – buying motorcycles on craigslist and flipping them across the bay, buying cars and paying people to use them to drive uber, starting an affiliate site for people with eyebrow dander, starting an email course for people interested in nootropics… the list goes on.

it’s a complete game changer, waking up with more money than you had when you went to sleep. for too long, i’d start my day by refreshing udemy’s instructor dashboard to see how much i’d make. then the traction amazon page to see our sales, then airbnb, then cryptocurrency…
