About this episode
Side Hustle Pro is officially 500 episodes deep, and in this milestone episode, I’m taking time to reflect on what this journey has really taught me.I share the biggest lessons I’ve learned about consistency, networking, monetization, and why the podcast itself was never the end goal, the platform was. I also talk about what I wish I knew when I started, how podcasting helped me grow as a speaker and business owner, and why playing the long game has paid off in ways I never could have planned.If you’re thinking about starting a podcast, growing a side hustle, or building something meaningful over time, this episode is a reminder that you don’t have to rush, you just have to keep going.Highlights Include00:00 – Welcome to the 500th episode of Side Hustle Pro02:10 – Starting with what I had and recording from home04:30 – Why trying to predict the end can stop you from starting06:45 – Why the podcast was never the point, the platform was09:30 – How podcasting transformed my network12:50 – Keeping costs low and thinking like a business owner16:30 – The power of consistency and playing the long game18:45 – How podcasting improved my confidence as a speaker21:00 – Giving myself grace through different seasons of life24:45 – Final lessons I’d tell my earlier selfLinks Mentioned in This EpisodePodcast Moguls Group Coaching Program: https://sidehustlepro.co/podcastmogulsStart the Podcast That Builds Your Exit Plan: https://sidehustlepro.lpages.co/your-first-1000-downloads/Side Hustle Pro Website: https://sidehustlepro.co/Watch & ListenWatch this episode on YouTube and listen on all podcast platforms:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/side-hustle-pro/id1126021323Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/13qDj08lBR4ymzGhXIKy8tYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/sidehustlepro Hosted on Acast.
