Hello, hello, what's up? Welcome back. My name is Chris Gillipo. This is SideHussell School.

0:11.6

The only show bringing you a daily story of someone who creates a new source of income

0:16.5

without quitting their job. Now, as I've been on the road for the mega side hustle

0:20.6

book tour, I've been getting a ton of questions and I noticed that these questions fit a number

0:24.9

of themes. Gotta say that probably the most frequently asked theme I get, or at least
