| 0:00.0 | Welcome, welcome. This is Chris Kill about your host of Side Us All School. The daily |
| 0:13.2 | podcast, all about making extra money without quitting your job, sometimes eventually |
| 0:17.4 | building up to a full-time career or a small business, whatever you like to call it. |
| 0:22.2 | But sometimes just getting out of debt or saving for your future or whatever is important |
| 0:26.2 | to you, we're all about all kinds of things here on the podcast. But again, focused on |
| 0:30.2 | that lens of making extra money. So this is also our segment known as Throback Thursday. |
| 0:36.4 | And during this segment, we go back and hear from someone we featured long ago on the |
| 0:39.5 | podcast. Last week, we heard from a Toronto yoga teacher who offers classes to people with |
| 0:44.6 | chronic illnesses. She also works as a freelance writer, she travels the world. This week, we |
| 0:49.4 | got something a little bit different. We're going to hear from Dan Zurcher. He is a long |

| 1:34.1 | Ohio. My side hustle was started as parking lot striping. And I believe the episode we had |
| 1:42.1 | about a year and a few months back was episode 1576. It started in 1992. And as I was going |
| 1:48.8 | through some of my notes here, it was literally August of 1992. So this marks 30 years. My |
| 1:54.8 | first job, I believe, was in September of 1992. But some 30 years, my side hustle started |
| 2:00.7 | as parking lot striping. It has morphed into a couple of other things. I can save more |
