Summary

From Call Centre Suck To FREEDOM On this episode of Join Up Dots, we hear from Marcus in Austin, who shares his powerful journey from a dead-end call centre job to building a thriving meal planner business. Stuck in a cycle of exhaustion and doubt, Marcus found inspiration in the simple advice to “lay one brick” — taking small, imperfect steps instead of trying to do everything at once. Through trial and error, learning marketing basics, and slowly growing an email list, he transformed his side hustle into a full-time business that now earns him three times his old salary. Marcus’s story is a reminder that progress comes from persistence and embracing the messy, real process of building something your own. If this resonates with you, share it with your friends and community using #JoinUpDots #LayOneBrick #SideHustleSuccess. Don’t forget to subscribe to the podcast and leave a review.
