Hey there, what's up, what's up? Welcome back. My name is Chris Gillebo. You're listening

0:10.6

to a new week of side hustle school. I'm really excited because every day on this show, I'm

0:15.5

telling different true stories of people who create new sources of income, not just

0:20.8

getting another job, not doing contract labor, but by building something for themselves

0:24.9

using the skills they already have. And most of the time, these people do it without quitting

0:28.7

their day job, which is the whole point of the show. I don't believe everyone should

0:32.5

go and quit their job right away, if ever. But I do believe very much that everybody should

0:37.3

have money coming in from different sources. So if you agree with that, this show is for

1:09.7

Scouts, also called Girl Guides in some other countries, will set up shop on a table in the

1:14.1

street, usually outside a retail location or some other place where there's a lot of

1:17.6

people walking by. I think in some areas, they also go door to door and they're selling

1:21.8

these delicious cookies. Now, it's not that difficult for them to sell these cookies

1:25.4

because they're so delicious and everyone knows it. So when I say Sell Like a Girl Scout,

1:30.0

I'm talking about making something that has a really clear benefit and finding the people

1:34.1

who really want it. Like I said, there's more about that in the book, but today we're
