| 0:00.0 | Lemonada. |
| 0:10.7 | We don't feature a ton of stories about peer-to-peer lending on the podcast, just because there's not always a lot to say about them. |
| 0:17.5 | There's different platforms where you can, like, you know, loan out stuff, get paid for it. It's just kind of turnkey and self-explanatory. But also, they're not usually a great business model when you're trying to create an asset for yourself. Like, I like to focus the show around helping people create passive income or at least something that has a chance to go on and earn money without them always putting in the |
| 0:37.8 | time for it and also something that's not so dependent on another platform. But, you know, |
| 0:42.1 | that said, there are some exceptions. These platforms and networks can be great to experiment with. |
| 0:48.1 | And also, once in a while, which is what we're going to hear about today, someone comes along |
| 0:52.3 | who figures out a competitive advantage and |
| 0:54.6 | usually does go on to earn a lot of money from one of these sites. So that's what today's story is |

| 1:20.0 | creating this process where it's not a ton of work for him. |
| 1:23.3 | So most people who loan their stuff out don't make $30,000 extra doing it. |
| 1:27.5 | How has this guy made it happen? |
| 1:29.3 | That's what today's story is about. |
| 1:30.9 | London photographer rinse camera gear 1,100 times. |
| 1:34.7 | Stay tuned for the story. Antonio Salvani is no stranger to the world of side hustling. He works by day as a receptionist |
| 1:50.3 | for a property management company in central London. And a few years ago, he started taking |
| 1:55.0 | freelance photography gigs. From then on, his evenings and weekends were spent shooting |
| 1:59.5 | weddings and other various events. |
