This is Side Hustle School. I am Chris Killebau. Welcome. I hope you enjoyed that special Halloween episode. I hope it wasn't too spooky for you.

Well, in the lifespan of the show, especially for those who are listening in real time, we are now entering a new month.

First of November, and I've got a bunch of great stories for you this month. Really excited about all this to come as we enter that holiday season.

In today's story is pretty good. It's a classic Side Hustle school one. All about a man who thinks unconventionally and starts a hustle leading Scooter Tours.

Like adult Scooter Tours after watching the thrift shot video from Macklemore. He also relocates without telling his employer and finds paradise in a 13 mile stretch of the Florida Panhandle.

How did he get the idea? How does he do it? How did he pop those tags? Actually, he didn't pop any tags. That's just a thrift shot reference.

But you'll hear everything else right after this quick shout out to our sponsor.

Jordan Crowler wears tank tops and a pair of board shorts to work most days.

But back in 2013, he was working a typical job as a marketing and art director for a major corporation in Dallas, Texas.

Wanting to break free from his golden handcuffs, Jordan worked his way into a full time remote position with the goal of eventually moving his wife and two young daughters to their dream destination.

A little stretch of paradise in the Florida Panhandle called a 30A, where the Truman Show with Jim Carey was filmed.

Not knowing a soul on 30A and having to support his family, Jordan decided to not tell his employer that he was moving.

He knew that while it might not be entirely responsible of him to leave without a word to his boss, he was working remotely and the company he worked for was going through a big merger.

He thought they had enough on their plates with layoffs happening left and right. And to be frank, Jordan had already endured all sorts of corporate bullying and harassment from this company.

So he wasn't that concerned with their feelings at the time. Of course, he still did his job well, but in the back of his mind, he knew the clock was gradually counting down until a more permanent change would be required.

So being the resourceful person that he is, he looked around his newfound paradise for new opportunities.

One thing he noticed was that like many beach towns, bikes, skateboards and walking were the preferred methods of transportation, mainly because it was far easier than driving and parking.

And the weather was almost always beautiful. So biking and pedestrian style travel was suitable year round.

Not one to stick with the status quo, Jordan started looking into other unique methods and products that he could bring to this newfound adventurous pedestrian market.

And not long after that, Jordan had what he calls his aha moment. You might be familiar with the music video for Maclamor's thrift shop, in which the artist while embracing the values of frugality and bargain basement shopping,

undertakes an anthropological exploration to a number of secondhand stores in search of formerly unwanted items.

In that magnum opus, Maclamor famously promised to take your grandpa's style, take your grandpa's style. No, for real, ask your grandpa because he might actually have some clothes he's no longer wearing that could have real value to someone else.
