Leverage Your Day Job to Fuel Your Dream Job

You know what's NOT easy?

Betting BIG on yourself in a world full of internal + external skeptics and non-believers.

That's why you find yourself a community of like-minded goons to go to battle with (and a coach that'll be in the trenches with ya).

We’re picking back up where we left off with Part 2 of the Side Hustler’s Student Spotlight Special featuring my current Fall 2021 students.

(Go back and listen to Part 1 - Episode 236 first to follow the flow of the conversation!)

The Side Hustler’s Coaching Program is an intense 12-week boot camp where 8–10 creatives like yourself master the art of:

  • Betting big on yourself and your creative pursuits.

  • Leveraging your day job to fuel your dream job.

  • Getting out of your own way and navigating life’s curveballs.

The Fall 2021 students you’re going to love fall into 2 Groups…

Last week, part 1, featured Group 1:

This week, part 2, features Group 2:

This program isn’t a cakewalk and is definitely NOT for everyone.

This is a major commitment of your time, energy, and yes, money...but the growth and mindset shift within your creative pursuits during 12 weeks speak for itself.

The Program in a Nutshell

There are a lot of moving parts to this machine.

We have our hub for all communication and accountability where I also dish out weekly exercises, resources, and support.

We have once a month guest expert calls where students get a personalized presentation from heavy hitters in the game like past experts: Ian Barnard, Mye De Leon, Donna Adi, Grits, Efdot, and Lisa Quine.

This time around we’ve been lucky to get schooled by Adam Vicarel, Amy and Jen from Hoodzpah, and Lincoln Design Co.

However, the real commitment is the weekly Hot Seat Call.

Every Tuesday, we spend 2 hours going deep in group breakout sessions, celebrating wins, and workshopping struggles as a family.

I massively believe in my student’s talents and potential, and I’ll use this little stage I’ve built to spotlight their creative genius.

A huge perk about being in the program is that one of our Hot Seat Calls gets turned into a podcast episode...which is what you’re experiencing today!

There are no fancy mics or planned agendas.

This is eight hungry creatives making time to meet outside of day jobs and life responsibilities in pursuit of their next big breakthroughs.

If you’re stuck in your own way and want to bet big on yourself too, you’re going to find a lot of gold in this 2-part series.
