In this solo episode, I’m sharing the first three moves I’d make if I were starting a side hustle today and it’s not what you think.


Over the years, I’ve seen so many new side hustlers get caught up in the wrong things (logos, websites, Instagram aesthetic), and miss the real work that actually builds momentum and income. So I’m breaking down what I’d focus on right now if I had to start all over again.


These are the same foundational steps that helped me build Side Hustle Pro from an idea into a full-fledged business, and they’re the same ones I teach my clients today.


In this episode, I share:

  • The number one mistake new side hustlers make (and how to avoid it)
  • How to get laser-focused on the problem you solve and who you serve
  • Why validation calls will change the way you approach your business
  • The difference between a website and a funnel (and why the latter matters more)
  • How I started selling a $50 course before I ever built a website

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
