Melissa Witmer runs UltyResults.com, a strength and conditioning membership site for ultimate frisbee players that generates a full-time income. In episode 36 of The Side Hustle Show, learn how she took the concept from idea to side hustle to full-time business and how you can replicate her success.

A big thank you to David from ThePowerofPartTime.tv for the introduction!

  1. Loving your show. I’ve had a side hustle virtual assistant business for 10+ years. People think I should quit but the outside job pays the health insurance. In the near future I’d love to build a membership around retirees.
