What's up, guys? Welcome to Made for Profit, a podcast where we talk business in the shop and help you monetize as a maker.

Each week we'll cover the topics most important to you from marketing and selling your products to winning on social media and everything in between.

I'm Brad Rodriguez, a part-time content creator running Fix This, Build, and my co-host John Mulecki is a full-time furniture maker running metal

and wood custom furniture.

Over the past few years, we've seen the value of bouncing ideas back and forth, and we

want to bring you into the conversation and help you grow along with us.

Welcome to episode 10.

Today, we're going to talk about taking your side hustle or part-time gig to full-time status. When is the right time? And what are those important things that you need to

think about and have in place before making that decision? John, what is that my man?

Not much, dude. Pretty pumped for this episode for multiple reasons, but mostly one thing.

Someone that I'm close friends with has recently made the jump from part-time to full-time,

and I'm very excited for them, and this timing just happened to be great.

So, Brad?

Who is?

Oh, wait a minute.

Yes. You have anything to say? It is? Oh, wait a minute. Yes.

It is Thursday at 1230.

And we're recording the podcast.

And the main reason of that is because I have gone full time.

Yes.

I have quit my day job.

We need a clap track.
