Summary
There’s almost nobody better person equipped to talk about building multiple sources of income than my dear friend Chris Guillebeau.
During a lifetime of self-employment that included a four-year commitment as a volunteer executive in West Africa, Chris visited every country in the world (193 in total) before his 35th birthday. Since then he has modeled the proven definition of an entrepreneur: “Someone who will work 24 hours a day for themselves to avoid working one hour a day for someone else.”
He’s featured more than 850 different side hustle businesses on his daily podcast called Side Hustle School and is downloaded more than 2 million times a month. He's written several bestselling books, including The Art of Non-Conformity, The $100 Startup, Born For This, 100 Side Hustles and now his latest book: The Money Tree.
Today's conversation is all about finding fortune in our own backyards, including including topics dealing with student loans, a new model of earning extra income, and cultivating empowerment during uncertain economic times.
Enjoy!

| 0:17.0 | special because it's mr chris gillibow. And it's special because, of course, |

| 0:26.0 | Live. You know, the list goes on and on. But one of the reasons I'm most excited about this is because |
| 0:32.5 | what you're going to take away from this conversation. Now, he wrote a new book called The Money Tree. And if I know anything |
| 0:40.0 | about what the creators and entrepreneurs that I know are going through right now in this COVID |
| 0:44.9 | time, money is a problem. It's a challenge, not for everyone, but for a lot of people. And Chris does such a good |
| 0:53.4 | job. Not only has he experienced and shared a lifetime of living |

| 1:15.4 | where you're not reliant on out, whether it's a side hustle or your own full-time gig, this concept |

| 1:40.4 | some of his books, a $100 startup, the art of Nonconformity, some bestsellers there. |
| 1:45.9 | But specifically in today's event, we're going to follow a three-act play. |
| 1:51.7 | And in the first act, Chris delivers essentially a monologue about all of the topics that I just |
| 2:00.2 | shared around his new book, The Money Tree, specifically, |
| 2:04.1 | again, how to do this on your own, how to find money in your own back pocket backyard within |
| 2:09.3 | arm's reach, what to do in the face of doubt, how to manage these crazy times. |
