Scaling Side Hustles
Our listeners are aspiring entrepreneurs, undiscovered talent, and seasoned business owners looking to monetize their passions and find freedom from the daily grind. In this season, we follow Joshua - a serial entrepreneur and business model mastermind - on his path toward financial freedom and success while helping others do the same. Your co-hosts Hill and Val are budding, “reluctant” entrepreneurs with a knack for calling B.S. on business jargon and asking all the questions you were thinking but didn’t say! Through our unique format of storytelling, business education, and ridiculous shenanigans connected by out-of-the-box transitions, we get you on the right track to scaling and monetizing your work. In our alternate episodes, we answer your questions, discuss hot-button issues, and even sit down with experts and fellow entrepreneurs to pick their brains on all things business! In a nutshell - we give you the tools and confidence to scale your own side hustles. Episodes released every other Tuesday morning -- just in time for your AM commute or, if you're lucky, your first cup of coffee on a day of work-from-home hustling!
