I feel like the startup world is overly focused on trying to get this validation for something before you actually do something with it.

Welcome to the art of charm. I'm Jordan Harbinger and I'm here with producer Jason DeFilippo on this episode we're talking to my good friend Chris Gullabo.

He is an author of many books and he's traveled every country in the world which is kind of bananas.

His newest book is called Side Hustle from idea to income in 27 days and look I would never do shows about business and entrepreneurship exclusively.

But Chris is really the leader in this space and he has a unique take on starting something that can really create a lot of change in one's life if that's what floats your boat here.

I also get a lot of questions about the subject. So I'm going to have Chris dig into a lot of those questions like a lot of people think they need a side hustle.

But there's a lot of misconceptions about the process a lot of people have tried before and failed.

So they feel like there's something wrong with them. What I like about this book and what I like about what Chris is doing here is this is for regular people with day jobs isn't about quitting and going all in welding my thing in my garage.

This should be about building a safety net. It's about a backup plan. It's about more freedom of choice.

And we're going to teach you how to take inventory of your existing skills then focus on those to build your first hustle going from idea to offer as quickly as possible.

Remember there's a worksheet for this episode.

So you can make sure you solidify your understanding of the key takeaways from Chris Gullabo.

Now let's hear from Chris Gullabo.

When I first started filing you, which is a long time ago, I thought you were on this mission to travel every country in the world.

Now you're just going to do a hundred cities inside a few of those countries.

I mean, nothing new, nothing changed. You're used to this.

Right. Well, it's just kind of a compulsion.

Now, you know, on the one hand, it's a compulsion on the other hand, I actually really do enjoy going out to meet my readers and listeners.

And for better or worse, all my work over the past eight years has been informed by those kinds of conversation.

So I'm having a good time. I think at the time we're talking, I'm on stop number 12 of a hundred.

So, you know, almost done in that little home stretch phase.
