Summary

Side Hustle Summer is BACK and Kelly and Lizz have two great side hustles to inspire you this week. First, it's time to catch up and see what's the latest in the Stumpe and St. John Households. Kelly is on a vacation with the family at the lake that wasn't originally planned, but seemed like a great idea while the pool is getting installed at their home. While there, she is mastering the art of using the fryer. Will a smoker be next? Meanwhile, Lizz is officially out of her home while it gets renovated and it's in a total state of disarray. There's no turning back now! Then it's time for Side Hustle Summer with two moms that found a way to make money and work with their family's schedule. First, they talk to Kim who started working as an Amazon Flex delivery driver as a way to work while taking care of her adult son with autism. She breaks down exactly how it works and what kind of money she makes. Not all heroes wear capes and our Amazon delivery drivers are definitely heroes! Next, it's time to bring on Alexis who is the Car Mom's resident cotton candy maven! She started her cotton candy business while pregnant and had her first big event at the Car Mom Auto Show. Now, she is working private events and making enough money to buy a car. She talks to Kelly and Lizz about where she came up with the idea and how she's grown her business in the last couple of years.

0:15.8	I wanted to redo it.

0:52.0	I love, and we kind of get into it a little bit more in the interviews,
0:55.0	but I love highlighting side hustles instead of just businesses. And I know, like, I just feel
1:01.9	like there's a lot of space for businesses. And like now there's a lot of space for like female
1:05.7	entrepreneurs, mom entrepreneurs. Like there is that space. I am really interested, though, in, like, finding the people
1:12.4	who aren't necessarily wanting to take this thing to the moon, but, like, just to do it as a
1:16.4	side hustle to make some extra income. Because I know that's not always an easy decision. Like,
1:22.2	it can be hard to say no to opportunities, but, like, I'm just inspired by these women who are
1:25.8	saying no to some opportunities so they can say yes to their children, but while still, it's just, it's, I'm,
1:31.9	I'm, I couldn't be more inspired. And it is, it's always just like such tangible takeaways
