Hey there, it's Chris. I just wanted to say a quick hello apart from our regular episodes.

First of all, welcome to new listeners. Lots of folks who are joining the show hearing

about it from their friends. Maybe from other listeners. Thank you so much.

If you are new here, welcome. This daily show is all about creating more freedom for yourself

in the form of a side hustle. That is an income generating project that you create without

putting your day job. A lot of other people have been listening throughout the year. You guys

are awesome. If you started with me in January, you may remember that I made a promise, and

that promise was to produce an episode for you every single day in 2017. Well, this

week is something like the 318th day of the year, and we just had episode 318. Haven't

missed a day. The show has been there for you consistently as I promised.

Now I've been getting a question from longtime listeners just about every night on the

side hustle tour. Someone says, Hey, what's going to happen at the end of the year? Like,

does it all end on December 31st? Well, guess what? I have an answer for you. First thing

to say is I actually didn't know when I started what would happen at the end of the year.

Like, honestly, I made this commitment without knowing what the response would be. Like,

would people care? Would it matter to people? Would it make a difference in their lives?

And I got to say, it's just been so, so great. Like, I can't tell you how glad I am. I did

this. It's led to so many great connections. I love knowing that there are a lot of listeners

out there, perhaps even you, who value the show and make it part of their day, part of their

routine. So about a month or two ago, I met with some business people at the network that

produces the show and I said, Hey, crazy idea. What if we keep it going? And to make a

long story short, that's what we're going to do. Side hustle school is not going away.
