Corporate careers don’t offer the same safety net they once did. Pensions are gone, promotions are slow, and many roles feel like dead ends. That’s why more professionals are turning to side hustles—and Kendall Berg is one of them.
In this episode of Secrets of the Career Game, Kendall shares how she built a career coaching business while still working a demanding corporate job. She breaks down what it really takes to launch without waiting for the “perfect plan,” how one TikTok video changed everything, and the pricing mistakes that nearly burned her out. With candor and a bit of irony about corporate culture, Kendall shows why messy action, social media, and smart pricing are the real game-changers.
In this episode, we discuss:
-
Why are so many professionals starting side hustles in 2025?
-
How can you balance a corporate job and a growing business?
-
What’s the real secret behind going viral and turning followers into clients?
-
How do you know if you’re charging enough for your services?
-
What systems make scaling a side hustle actually possible?
