When I'm not hosting this podcast, I am writing books, but it is really hard for me to write when I'm at home,

so I like to find remote cabins in the middle of nowhere to just hang out and write.

But I hate the idea of my house just sitting empty doing nothing but collecting dust and definitely not collecting checks.

And that's why I'm an Airbnb host. It's one of my all-time favorite side hustles.

Other popular side hustles are awesome too, don't get me wrong, but they often involve big startup costs. By hosting your space, you're monetizing what you already have access to. It doesn't get easier than that. And if you're new to the side hustle game and you're anxious about getting started,

don't worry because you're not in this alone. Airbnb makes it super easy to host. I mean if I could do it, you could do it.

And your home might be worth a lot more than you think.

Over the next few days, we're going to dip our toes into some finance and business takes that you might not be totally sold on, maybe just yet.

But that's okay.

Think of this as a religious studies class.

You might be Jewish, but you could find elements of Catholicism interesting, right?

But these two episodes will definitely be more fun than any religious studies class you've

ever taken.

The person I'm speaking to today is fun, personified, truly.
