| 0:00.0 | What's up friends, listeners, community. Welcome to Side of Soul School. My name is Chris |
| 0:13.1 | Kylopo. In today's story, which by the way we have a story every single day, it's a story |
| 0:18.2 | about someone who makes extra money for themselves, creates an asset for themselves even, not |
| 0:22.5 | just working a second job, without quitting their day job, like they do their day job and |
| 0:26.6 | they do something else for themselves. So today's story, a rocket scientist launches an out-of-this-world |
| 0:31.8 | tutoring platform. Now, like any good rocket scientist, she's also starting to plan ahead and |

| 1:25.9 | But for now, rocket scientists launches out of this world tutoring business is coming right up. Stay tuned. |
| 1:41.0 | Tai-Ease Lage loves numbers. Born in Brazil, but living in Florida since childhood, |
| 1:46.0 | she's been tutoring struggling students in math from the age of 14. |
| 1:49.9 | Neighborhood parents were quick to hire her once they discovered her command of the subject. |
