| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to Side Us All School. My name is Chris Gill about your host. You know, |
| 0:09.2 | one of my favorite stories from a book tour, I wrote a book called Side Hustle and went |
| 0:13.3 | out to about 40 cities. One of my favorite stories, one of the ones that I keep going back |
| 0:17.3 | to that I tell when people are asking for examples or I go and talk to the media, is |
| 0:22.1 | about the guy who learned to make candles by watching YouTube. That was also a very popular |
