| 0:00.0 | Hey there, what's up? This is Chris Gillabo for Side Hustle School, episode 264. I am in California |
| 0:14.0 | heading to San Diego tonight and then on to Portland, Oregon tomorrow. At least if you're |
| 0:18.2 | listening in real time, if you're listening later, well, I was in San Diego. I was in Portland, |
| 0:22.1 | and now I'm probably somewhere else. Now every day on the show, I'm telling a different |
| 0:25.4 | story of someone who starts a side hustle without quitting their job. I try to look at people |
| 0:29.7 | from all different backgrounds doing all kinds of different projects. Today is kind of an |
| 0:33.5 | RT1 and I'll mention Etsy.com, which is the world's largest handcrafted marketplace. And a number |

| 1:31.7 | today on my tour. Stephanie manages a customer support team at a mobile app software company. |
| 1:36.9 | Her side hustle is woodcreek and co, an online boutique selling handmade decor and gifts, |
| 1:41.2 | including weaving looms, wood shelves, candles, and jewelry. In the summer of 2014, Stephanie |
| 1:46.5 | discovered the art of weaving, and enjoyed recreating the unique wall hangings that she saw online. |
| 1:51.4 | She enjoyed it so much that she started gifting her designs to family and friends, |
