| 0:00.0 | What's up, friends? Hope you're doing well. I am live in Austin, Texas for Neurodiversion 26, my new event. |
| 0:11.9 | I'm going to be busy with that today. But of course, we've got episodes coming out all the time, seven days a week. We don't take days off. |
| 0:18.9 | If you're interested in the new event, go check out Neurodversion.org or come say hi today. I'll be at the Public Expo in Austin, Texas. |
| 0:26.8 | Details on the website or on our Instagram neurodiversion event. But here on the podcast, |
| 0:32.8 | I'm ready for more passive income. That is the title of today's listener question. And that sounds good to me, |
| 0:38.2 | right? Being ready for more passive income. This caller, they're actually doing really well already. |
| 0:42.9 | They're a success story. Um, his side hustles since being part of a side hustle school community |
| 0:47.6 | are bringing in more than $50,000 a year. Well done. Woohoo. Love that. Um, so I love hearing these reports. I want to get one from you like that as well. But as Roger, our caller, says, he wants more of this income to be passive because he's doing a lot of work. He's doing a lot of hustling for this $50,000 a year. And nothing wrong with hustling, right? But passive income is even better. So how can he, and perhaps some of our |
| 1:11.1 | listeners, perhaps even you, how can you, he, everybody, all of us go to the next level? Let's talk |
| 1:17.7 | about it. Detailed question from Roger and my answer right after this. I make thanks to our partner |
| 1:23.6 | Notion for sponsoring today's episode. Notion is a pretty cool tool. I've been using it for years, |
| 1:29.1 | and now they've got something new. Notion's all new custom agents. Custom agents. Just imagine if |
| 1:36.1 | like all of the quick questions that you get from email or direct messages or something else, |
| 1:41.3 | what if they disappeared? And an AI agent took care of them, but also did a good |
| 1:45.4 | job. Well, with Notion's new custom agents, the busy work is handled. A Q&A agent can pull from your |
| 1:51.7 | existing knowledge and notion share answers directly in Slack so your team gets the instant answers |
| 1:56.8 | it needs without constantly interrupting your own work. I've been playing around with custom agents. |
| 2:01.5 | It is a fun and helpful process. And just in case you don't know, Notion, it is an AI-powered, |
| 2:05.9 | connected workspace for teams. Notion brings all your node, stocks, projects into one space that just |
| 2:11.2 | works. It is seamless, flexible, powerful, and actually fun to use. With AI built-in, you spend |
| 2:16.7 | less time switching between tools and apps |
| 2:18.6 | and more time creating great work. Now, with Notion's new custom agents, the busy work that used to take |
