| 0:12.6 | This is Chris Gille about your host here to talk with you about monetizing your expertise, |
| 0:17.1 | finding a way to make extra money without quitting your job, and by using a skill you already |
| 0:20.9 | have. I got a question from a guy who wants to make money teaching people how to play |
| 0:26.0 | video games. That's actually coming up next week, but I was thinking about it as I was working |
| 0:30.4 | on today's episode because one of the ways you can profit from your knowledge is through |
| 0:34.6 | teaching or transferring that knowledge in some form, and specifically by compiling that |
| 0:39.2 | knowledge into a detailed guide report or owner's manual of sorts, and then selling that |

| 1:28.5 | including a high quality blanket. I thought it was pretty cool. Got the nice Lands End Business |
| 1:33.2 | logo on it. They also sent me a mug with Jordan Harbinger's name on it. So Jordan, he's a |
| 1:39.1 | pretty cool guy. He's got a podcast I enjoy, and now I've got a mug with his name on it. |
| 1:43.2 | So that's cool. And you know, what can I say? Since 1993, thousands of businesses have relied |
