| 0:00.0 | Each of us has a story. Each of us has a story that we are writing both for our own lives, |
| 0:10.6 | an internal narrative of who we are, what we hope to become, all the things that we hope to do, |
| 0:15.4 | as well as an external story of how people see us and how our lives intersect with others. |
| 0:20.4 | And over time, we are constantly filling out this story, this narrative. It's almost like a |
| 0:25.3 | journal that unfolds a page after page and you have the choice, you have the ability to write |
| 0:29.9 | whatever you want on today's page, whatever you want for yourself, whatever you want in terms of |
| 0:34.9 | how your life intersects with others. And one of the reasons I make this podcast is because |
| 0:39.6 | I believe so much as possible. I believe there is a side hustle opportunity for everyone. |
| 0:45.3 | And I've seen over and over how that can lead to so much more. It's not just about one little |
| 0:50.3 | project that makes some money or something. It's what does that enable you to do? How does that open |

| 1:12.6 | want to go back and change something, not only is that okay, not only do you have permission to do |
| 1:16.3 | that, it actually might be one of the smartest things you could ever do. Because oftentimes our |
| 1:20.8 | story writing is kind of on like an autopilot. And if we step in and say, actually I want to have |
| 1:25.2 | more control over this direction, it can lead us being happier, it can lead to us being more fulfilled, |
| 1:30.1 | more productive and just more intentional overall. So that's my encouragement to you as we begin |
| 1:34.9 | today's episode. Welcome to Side hustle School. My name is Chris Killabo. And today's story, |
| 1:39.2 | a Disney super fan goes from writing about the happiest place on earth. At least that's what they |
| 1:44.1 | call it. Disney is really good at marketing. She goes from writing about that in just her notebook, |
