| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the podcast. The podcast is known as Side Usal School. My name is Chris |
| 0:14.9 | Gillipo, your host. We've been going for 2,472 days in a row and I appreciate you tuning |
| 0:20.2 | in today. This episode features Elliott from Lameza, California. He's got a unique |
| 0:25.4 | work schedule that's all about sprinting and stopping. So everybody's got their own kind |
| 0:31.1 | of work schedule situation out there and a lot of schedules are not 9 to 5 or whatever |
| 0:36.7 | the hours may be. A lot of them have all sorts of variants and flexibility, sometimes imposed |

| 1:26.4 | do you do in that situation? Detailed question coming up after this quick message from our |
| 1:30.8 | sponsor. |
| 1:32.8 | Hey there, it's Elliott from La Mesa, California. I have a job that requires intense |
| 1:49.0 | work sprints, followed by periods of downtime. Like being on call for weeks and then having |
| 1:53.8 | a week off. What would be the best type of side hustle that could fit this sort of sprint |
| 1:58.0 | and stop schedule? I can't do consulting or anything else that requires constant availability |
| 2:02.7 | or customer service. |
