52: How to Use Freelancing to Find Business Ideas (and Cold Showers to Find Yourself) May 22, 2014

Show notes

Nick Reese is an accomplished entrepreneur and sought-after business coach. We set out to record an episode on the mindset necessary to succeed as an entrepreneur, and I think we reached that goal, but along the way, Nick shared a fascinating way to build a lucrative side hustle by starting out freelancing. And on top of that, he shares why he started taking cold showers 2 years ago, and why he's actually got me hooked on the cold shower thing in the couple of months since we recorded the episode.

51: One Listener’s Year of Hustle: Apps, YouTube, Kindle, Udemy, Fiverr, and More May 15, 2014

Show notes

I'm excited to welcome Alex Genadinik back to The Side Hustle Show as the first-ever repeat guest. Alex reached out and told me how he'd applied many of the strategies and tactics discussed on the show over the past year, and I thought it would be fun to highlight some of those along with his progress. Alex's "year of hustle" has created at least 4 new income streams, including a couple more "passive" channels. This episode illustrates the power of starting today, so you can look back a year from now and see how far you've come.

50: What I’ve Learned and Applied from 49 Awesome Entrepreneurs May 08, 2014

Show notes

The best thing about starting a podcast is the excuse to talk to awesome and inspiring people on a weekly basis. I've learned so much from The Side Hustle Show guests over the past year, I thought it would be an appropriate time to recap some of their shared wisdom, how I've applied it to my own projects, and how you can apply it to yours. This is episode 50 -- the big 5-0, and it's also my first-ever attempt at a solo show.

40: How (and why) to Build Your Own Mastermind Group, Plus How You Join One With Fellow Side Hustlers Feb 27, 2014

Show notes

I'm Nick and I have a confession. When I recorded this episode with Alex Barker from AlexBarker.org (The Leadership Dojo podcast), I had never been in any sort of formal mastermind group. Listen to the collective gasp in my blogger/podcaster/entrepreneur-type circles, that information is blasphemy! It's totally my fault. Masterminds are something I see huge value in but just never made a priority -- until now. In this episode, we talk all the details of what a mastermind is and why they're important for side hustlers. Alex knows a thing or two about the topic, having written the book on the subject: Hangout and Grow Rich: How to Build Your Virtual Mastermind in 30 Days (which he generously offered for free to Side Hustle Nation if you visit his site and send him a message).

What I picture when I hear the word "mastermind." Why you should have one. How to set it up (where to find potential members). The technology to run the meetings. The 4-part structure/format of the meetings so everyone benefits. Alex's #1 tip for Side Hustle Nation.
