All right, what's up? What's up? We have made it to Friday. They're in the

0:15.0

Side Hustle School week, which means today is failure Friday. It's a collection of

0:19.8

short stories about mistakes, missteps, disasters, all the things that go wrong,

0:24.0

everything that is not a huge success. You know, we talk about success as many

0:28.2

other days here, but failure Friday is a little bit more of a vulnerability side

1:17.8

directly from a side hustler. They're going to tell you that short story of

something that goes very wrong. Today's features Madison. She is a

1:25.8

communications graduate who plan to open a PR agency. However, you know, not
