| 0:00.0 | Hey friends, thanks for tuning in today. At the top of this episode, I want to say congratulations |
| 0:15.0 | to my friend Gretchen Ribin. Gretchen's new and long awaited book is out today. It's |
| 0:20.7 | called Life in Five Senses. How exploring the senses got me out of my head and into the |
| 0:26.3 | world. Now I have been a big Gretchen fan for many years. She has this thing on her website, |
| 0:31.9 | her newsletter, where you can sign up to be a super fan. And I think I first did that. I was going |
| 0:37.0 | to say 10 years ago, but I think it's actually much more than 10 years now. It's closer to 15 years, |
| 0:42.1 | which is crazy. You know, I've been around a long time, but she was actually one of my original |
| 0:46.8 | inspirations when I started the blog, The Art of Non-conformity. In 2008, the prehistoric blogging days. |
| 0:53.8 | So I'm really fortunate to know Gretchen now as a friend. So I'm always excited to see what she |
| 0:58.8 | does. New book, Life in Five Senses. There's also a free quiz at GretchenRubin.com, where you can |
| 1:04.4 | discover your most neglected sense. I encourage you to check it out. And welcome as well to Throwback Thursday. |
| 1:10.4 | This is our weekly segment on Side Us All School, where we take a look at someone whose story has evolved |
| 1:15.0 | since we first featured them. Now let's see here. Last week, we heard from a Canadian dungeon master, |
| 1:20.3 | who hosts tabletop role-playing games, TTRPGs, if I'm not mistaken, and his side business brings |
| 1:27.2 | in an extra $2,000 a month. Today, in our latest feature, we're going to hear from an eBay |
| 1:32.2 | consignment seller who decides to focus on selling items for other people for a commission. That's |
| 1:38.1 | the term consignment, you know, as opposed to an eBay seller who's going out to try to acquire their |
| 1:43.3 | own inventory. They're selling items for other people. So how much commission? How does it work? Let's |
| 1:48.5 | find out. We're going to hear this story from Samantha. |
| 2:01.7 | Hi, my name is Samantha Hayes and I live in San Francisco, California. A couple of years ago, |
| 2:07.4 | I discovered a unique way of earning commissions by selling items on eBay for other people. |
| 2:12.8 | In this narrative, I'll share my journey, including some valuable lessons I've learned. |
