Not every dream job has an obvious route to success, so how do you make your passion project pay without falling behind on your bills?Visa research shows that around 45% of Gen Zs (people born between the late1990s and the early 2010) have a side hustle, but it's not just for the cash. More than a quarter of those are working at a passion project.So how do you make it if you want a career in comedy or to bag an Olympic gold? Do you have to tell your boss if you're doing extra work on the side? And what should you do about tax? Today we're talking to an Olympian who worked as a custody officer, a comic book writer who worked in a biology lab and an aspiring DJ who's on a zero-hours bar contract.Felicity Hannah is joined by Jack Gamble, Director and CEO of the Campaign for the Arts and employment lawyer Rupa Mooker.Presenter: Felicity Hannah Producer: Sarah Rogers & Catherine Lund Editor: Jess Quayle(First broadcast 3pm Wednesday 31st July 2024)

Like many American boys, Tony Barnette yearned to one day make it to “The Show,” playing baseball professionally. The Arizona State pitcher was drafted in 2006 by the in-state Diamondbacks. Gradually ascending the minor-league ladder, it looked like this was the beginning of a blessed life, where he could play the game he loved on the grandest of stages in front of family and friends. But things don't always work out the way we want. On the verge of achieving his lifelong dream after notching a league-high 14 wins in Triple A, Tony looked ahead to 2010 with optimism. That's when Japan came calling, offering a significant salary hike in exchange for forgoing a likely forthcoming big-league debut. The Diamondbacks agreed to release Tony so he could play for Tokyo's Yakult Swallows, the renowned Yomiuri Giants' intra-city rivals. At the time, the only thing he had in common with the country was a love for baseball. He did not know the language and was unfamiliar with Nippon Professional Baseball and essentially everything else. On his own in a strange land, the burning desire to one day make the major leagues never subsided. He knew the odds were against him, as less than one quarter of gaijin (Japanese for “foreigner”) ballplayers who go to Japan appear in the majors at any point thereafter. First-year struggles led to multiple demotions and his end-of-year release. But when you're chasing a dream, you expect to encounter several obstacles. Tony refused to be deterred. Over six seasons in Japan, the starter became a reliever and then a closer. After a strong 2015 season, in which he guided his long-suffering Swallows to the Japan Series, he finally got the call he had been waiting for. Signing with the Texas Rangers in December, Tony would make his first major-league appearance on April 5, 2016, at age thirty-two. He'd go on to pitch four seasons with the Rangers and Chicago Cubs, fulfilling a lifelong dream. In A Baseball Gaijin: Chasing a Dream to Japan and Back (Sports Publishing, 2024), Aaron Fischman tells Tony's story of perseverance, determination, and never giving up on your dream. Paul Knepper covered the New York Knicks for Bleacher Report. His first book, The Knicks of the Nineties: Ewing, Oakley, Starks and the Brawlers That Almost Won It All was published in 2020.

Hi All, Mark here. I loved the look of agriculture long before I ever had a farm. Yesterday I was struck by the geometric artistry of long rows of corn, lined up like so many soldiers in formation, undulating over a hill nearby. It recalled to my mind other images filed away in my album of landscape "greatest hits": potato fields I would bike past some thirty five years ago, all in white or purple bloom, gently sloping toward the ocean on the East End of Long Island; endless rows of perfect sunflowers along the roads of Thrace, injecting a bright vital energy into an otherwise dull flat landscape. These scenes are painted on a wide canvas, planted by machine, and using plants that have been developed to replicate each other as exactly as possible. I don't know whether pesticides, herbicides or insecticides are used to keep the spaces between the planted rows weed-free and bare. Nonetheless, the plants that compose the tableau are magnificent living things and the visual effect of their uniform arrangement appeals to me in much the same way that a Busby Berkeley production number does. From the chaos of living organisms, a sense of order and harmony achieved. The closest my farm comes to the tableaux I find so appealing is the pasture. The pasture is not comprised of just one type of plant. A variety of grasses, grains, clovers, and legumes all mix chaotically. They are, however, chewed down to the visual uniformity of a carpet by the sheep and cows that graze there. It's the same sort of order we achieve in the yard by mowing the grass. The view of pasture with the woods behind looks planned, ordered, and beautiful. This is so even though the margin between pasture and woodland is shifting, contested territory and the woodland itself is also a chaotic mix of whatever can opportunistically seed itself and enter into a sort of jostling coexistence, or even symbiosis, with the trees, bushes and undergrowth already there. From a distance, even the chaos of the woodland fades into a pleasing uniformity. It's a kind of visual order I would love to see everywhere, but which I've only partially achieved in the areas like the vegetable garden where the results are reliant on my personal efforts. You may remember that one of my major goals for this season was to reconfigure the vegetable garden according to a more Cartesian, rational plan that Eric and I developed together. The plan involved new boundaries, new fencing to keep out groundhogs and rabbits, and replacing most of the existing circular planting beds with new rectangular beds. It required digging up a whole lot of sod and removing enormous stands of mugwort and other weeds I had allowed to invade in fallow areas in the past couple of years. It was a far more ambitious undertaking than I had anticipated. By some measures, we've made great strides. The fencing has been almost entirely finished and for the past several weeks has succeeded in keeping out groundhogs and all but one pesky rabbit. Plants like Swiss chard, broccoli and parsley that didn't survive the critters' gnawing last year have been doing well this year. Of the 24 planting beds we planned for the main garden, 18 have been created and planted. Where about 20 tomato plants struggled last year in the tomato patch, this year there are over 75, and half a dozen tomatillos as well. The little orange sungold tomatoes are already coming in regularly, and I harvested the first ripe Black Krim last week. My summer counteroffensive against the mugwort, however, bears some resemblance to the Ukrainian counteroffensive in the Donbas. I am making some discernible progress and will ultimately emerge victorious, but the weed is entrenched. Mugwort has been eliminated from more than 75% of the tomato patch and the north end of the vegetable garden proper, but in the main garden the southwest corner, and the east side between the pumpkins and the zucchini are all still in enemy hands. Even from a distance, aggressive patches of mugwort stand as a rebuke to the landscaped look I so desperately wanted to achieve this year.Eric thinks my commitment to doing it all by hand is what stands between me and achieving my garden goals. He is right. I have no good response for this. I apparently crave the Sisyphian challenge, and must grasp at a small measure of vindication by appreciating each tiny patch of order I create. And eating the results. Last Sunday, along with the first Black Krim tomato, I brought in the first impossibly shiny yellow Golden Rod zucchinis, and the first cucumbers (both standard Marketmore slicing cucumber and suhyo long, a Chinese variety with a bumpy skin and a curvy growth habit). We are harvesting blackberries in great profusion. In gratitude to macho Matt, who installed a new mailbox and fixed a gate affected by the recent storms during a recent visit, I was able to make the kind of vegetarian meal he prefers largely from the garden: Swiss chard leaves stuffed with a rice mixture that included our own turnips and herbs, braised chard stems, a Turkish salad of chopped tomato, suhyo cucumber and onion, and cacik, the cucumber, yoghurt and mint dish. It's not yet the summer harvest of my dreams, but it's by a large margin better than last year. I've been plagued by dreams this week of actions uncompleted -- last night it was trying unsuccessfully to reach a hardware store before it closed, the night before it was having my plate cleared before I could finish eating a poppy seed muffin. I can't help but think these are in part displaced fears about whether I will ever close the gap between my ambitions and actualization in the garden. But, I tell myself, the season is not over. There are six more beds I can dig, fall vegetables like collard greens, daikon radish and spinach to plant. And by next year, I tell myself, we will surely have the vegetable garden we've been dreaming of.

Today we break down a quote from comedian Bill Burr. It wasn't a quote, as much as it was a 2 min story on why you can't lose chasing your dream. It was well spoken, but I want to unpack it, because while things sound dreamy at first, reality kicks in, and that's where everyone jumps ship.Steven Pressfield calls that “resistance” in the War of Art. Ryan Holiday calls that “the obstacle” in Obstacle is the Way. In this episode we'll share the audio clip where Bill talks about getting paid $8 for a gig, and being over the moon, and his girlfriend says: “I wish I had a job that I got paid $8 and came home and did a silly dance in the kitchen”. What would you do for $8 and come home and do a happy dance?Let's discuss..…………………………………………https://www.balancedartist.comhttps://www.facebook.com/BalancedArtisthttps://www.instagram.com/rorygardinermusichttps://www.instagram.com/balancedartist

Ingram Smith, the CEO of Florida State-based NIL start-up The Battle's End, joins On The Bench to share how he's living out a dream. Smith details how he got into the position to guide the vastly important NIL efforts surrounding his favorite program, the upcoming expansion of The Battle's End, and then dove into the strategy implemented by the The Battle's End to exploit a market inefficiency. As Smith states succinctly, 'there's a reason why Jordan Travis was our No. 1 target.' It's a fun 30-minute interview with insights into the collective (but don't call it a collective) that's helped FSU elevate its football program.

Most travelers are familiar with the frustration that comes with the packing and hauling portion of taking a trip. Two entrepreneurs decided it was time for a product that freed vacationers from the inconvenience of juggling and toting all of their equipment and belongings from their doorstep to their vehicle and the ultimate destination. OME Gear Co-founders, Jules Weldon and Stacey Pierce, developed a solution that supported their audience's travel needs, while aligning with the brand's vision and values. Entrepreneurs can sometimes lose sight of their central goal, while taking serious risks, making major sacrifices, and iterating their product to get it to market. Jules and Stace share how they navigated funding and industry challenges to design and develop a product that kept their mission in focus. They unpack what they've learned from building this sustainable, multi-functional product, a good-natured brand around it, and a strong network of fellow entrepreneurs, outdoor enthusiasts and interested consumers. In this episode of Of Note, Jules and Stace sit down with our hosts Joseph Nother and Kim Christ to share how they've smoothed funding speedbumps, prepared for potential risks and responded to the needs of their audience. Learn about risk strategy, building a brand and network, and utilizing your platforms to nurture key relationships.

Find the show notes here. Have you wanted to quit on your dream before you've made any real progress? Getting started can be one of the most difficult parts of pursuing a dream. In the early stages, a lot of the details are still foggy. The lack of progress makes it feel like you're pushing a boulder uphill and pushing something heavy uphill makes you want to quit. But don't quit before you get to the good part! In this episode you will be encouraged that you're not the only one who feels this way, and in fact, these feelings are part of the process of getting started. You'll also hear about: A simple process for confidently taking the first steps into a God-shaped dream. The phase of pursuing a dream you will most want to avoid and why that's a mistake. What happens when you give in to excuses instead of getting started. And that's not all. I have compiled all my best baby steps ideas that will work for any kind of dream--whether it's writing a book, starting a business, creating a home that's bursting with hospitality, or launching an app. It doesn't matter what God has put on your heart; you can use these quick-win ideas to begin making a little headway today.

I can't speak for everyone. I know that lately, I've felt off. When thinking about WHY and WHAT I needed to do to get... unstuck... I felt like I needed to start from scratch. Go left or right. Do what I know or take a risk and start over and chase desires. Whew! How many of you have started down a path and once you got into it, you realize it wasn't for you? You've invested so much time and energy. You've committed to this path. You have to see it through, or do you? I just want you to question your desires. Question your path. Question your feelings of being stuck. Question WHY.  What if starting from scratch is what you NEED for your road to happiness? Journals/notebooks are for sale on Amazon!

What are your goals for your business, and do you have a plan for getting there? A surprisingly large number of entrepreneurs create lofty goals for their businesses, but fail to create a solid plan to achieve them. That's like getting in your car to drive from California to New York without a map or a GPS. It's very likely you'll get lost and never reach your destination. But how do you go about creating a plan that will let you scale your business and turn those goals into realities?  In today's episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius is flying solo, offering up some insights on the importance of planning to scale and understanding that the entrepreneurial process is about more than simply setting targets and then doing nothing to reach them. You'll learn why so many entrepreneurs create bold and powerful goals but fail to take the next steps to achieve them. You'll discover the importance of incorporating scale into your goal planning and why many scale systems are complicated and overly cumbersome. You'll learn about revenue, income, size, and ethics (RISE) targets and how focusing on them can make the difference in reaching your goals or simply grasping at dreams.  Join Darius as he offers his insight and experience on the subject of growing your business in a way that will generate real results.  What You'll Learn in this Show: Why a goal without a plan is a dream, and why do many entrepreneurs refusal to create plans lead to their failure. The importance of building a plan around scale when trying to grow your business. RISE targets: what they are, and how they can help you reach the levels of success  And so much more!  To Learn More:  www.dariusclass.com Additional Resources: The Real Darius Facebook Instagram YouTube Twitter LinkedIn This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.

In this Episode I sit down with Kelly Kussman, Founder of Cayla Gray, and talk about how she went from working full time in corporate America, to becoming the owner, designer and visionary behind her company. She shares her story on how she continued working full time while pursuing her dreams. Doing this and not going “all in” in the beginning was what allowed her to make the proper investments she needed to get her business up and running without having to be in the scarcity mindset. Because she was  in such an abundance mindset from day one, it allowed her to make much wiser decisions, make the best use of her time and focus her energy on where it needed to be, which was being the “visionary” to Cayla Gray.   Follow Kelly @caylagrayco Visit: www.caylagray.com   Folllow Jess @jessicaburgio Visit: www.beautyinspiresbeautyshop.com
