How can you instill the skills and values of innovation and entrepreneurship in kids?
And if you can teach it to kids, why can’t you teach it to grownups?
This week I’m joined by Don Wettrick, an award-winning middle school, and high school teacher and the CEO and co-founder of StartEdUp, which has a mission to empower students and teachers to apply innovation and entrepreneurship in the classroom.
$18k in 9 months … from ONE YouTube video?
And that’s without even filming or putting your face on camera!
Jon Corres identifies trending topics on YouTube and produces viral videos to ride that trend. Or at least videos he hopes will hit the algorithm just right.
Is there a light at the end of the quarantine tunnel?
Or is it an oncoming train?
It’s Progress Report time!
A little bit of a different format this week.
We’re looking at 10 unconventional money rules – at least, in my mind they’re unconventional – to help you save more, earn more, and improve your financial situation.
To help me go back and forth on these points I’m joined by Rich Jones. He’s the host of the award-winning PaychecksandBalances podcast – helping you navigate your finances and career.

“The money’s in the list,” right?
That’s the chorus of advice you hear from all the marketing experts.
But what do you send someone after they join your list?
Rental arbitrage gives you a way to make money with Airbnb — without owning any property.
Traditionally, building a real estate side hustle takes big bucks for down payments, closing costs, and renovation projects.
But enterprising short-term rental “moguls” are questioning if owning the property is even necessary. These rental arbitrage entrepreneurs sign long-term leases, and then turn around and sub-let the property on a short-term basis — profiting on the spread.
This week I’m excited to share a unique side hustle that’s turning hobbies into profits, through what I’m calling “local” e-commerce.
This is a story of building a following for homemade or handmade products without shipping anything, without advertising, and without relying on 3rd party marketplaces like Amazon or Etsy for exposure.
We’re going to explore this through the lens of So Here’s the Dough — it’s a local cottage kitchen cookie operation run by a friend of mine here in Livermore, Jenn Fei.
Create a design.
Upload it to a store.
Earn passive royalties whenever it sells.
That’s the passive income dream, and that’s the premise behind the Merch by Amazon and print-on-demand side hustles.
We’re all dealt 24 hours a day. I believe how you spend that time, or maybe rather how you invest it, should give you some sort of return.
That could be a monetary return, sure. But it could also be a return in personal satisfaction or impact on others.
Today, I want to introduce a productivity framework I’m calling The Productivity Pyramid.
Starting a business doesn’t have to be expensive — in fact, low startup cost business ideas are everywhere.
Just last week, Nate and Alysha Jackson explained how they started their Amazon retail arbitrage business with just $100 — and had since grown to over $1 million in total sales.
Inspired by their story, along with a couple of threads in the Side Hustle Nation Facebook group that asked for some real-life low startup cost business ideas, I put together this episode.
