| 0:00.0 | Alright, alright. Chris Gellibot here. Welcome to Sideosal School. Thanks for |
| 0:12.0 | turning in today. I'm so glad you're out there. This is a daily podcast all about how to |
| 0:16.4 | make extra money without quitting your job. We've got people all over the world doing this |
| 0:21.0 | in all sorts of ways, or all about case studies, actionable information, something you can |
| 0:25.7 | take and apply right away so that you can, in fact, create freedom, not just extra money, |

| 1:35.8 | offers fully customized clothes, accessories, and promotional products featuring your logo |
| 1:40.0 | and colors elevated by decades of experience. The Lands End sent me a box of some samples, |
