| 0:00.0 | Hey there, Chris Gillibow, your host of Sadduceville School. Welcome to the podcast. Every single |
| 0:15.4 | day, new episodes, new questions, new case studies, ideas, tips on how you can make extra |
| 0:20.0 | money without quitting your job. What is the best way to do that? There are so many different |
| 0:23.9 | options these days, and we try to focus on ideas that are a little bit lesser known or |
| 0:28.4 | more incommensional. But of course, we've got listeners out there who send in all kinds of questions |
| 0:33.7 | about their ideas. And it's really fun to just see how can we help one person and hopefully by |

| 1:38.4 | It's like if you want to have a podcast telling historical stories, you really need someone's permission, |
| 1:42.3 | how does that work? So let's listen to Rob, see what he's wondering and see if we can be helpful. |
| 1:47.6 | His questions coming up in just 30 seconds. |
| 1:54.0 | Hello there. My name is Rob and I'm calling from Port Lauderdale. As a long time fan of your show, |
