Cranking It Out: Side Hustles, Cop Stories, Small Business Owners & Pig Farming 

What do you get when you mix two cops, home inspections, a woodworking shop, and a pig farm? This episode....

I sit down with my buddies Chase Berger and Eddie Feidt to talk about:

🚓 Cop stories (yes, tasers were involved… twice, and both times didn’t work)

🏠 How Chase built a home inspection business and launched Nest Ultrasound with his wife Kayla

🪚 Eddie’s journey from woodworking hobbyist to side hustle entrepreneur

🐖 Pig farming and cranking it out

Some challenges of side hustles: pricing, burnout, balance, and knowing when to pivot

This one was pretty fun, always unfiltered, and packed with lessons for anyone juggling family, work, and a dream.
