Welcome to the launch of an exciting new series we're putting together under the Beyond the Profile umbrella - Side Hustle Series (SHS)! We look to interview people who are currently making efforts to go hard on their side hustle in hopes to create it into a full time job. Today's Side Hustle Spotlight is on Ryan Dunn, a podcaster for Destination: Different and founder of the newsletter, Strange Brains! We dive deep into his side hustle and love for creating content that'll make you want to stay weird. He interviews creators, entrepreneurs, adventurists, and everyone in between. We talk through his creation of the podcast, how he utilizes marketing techniques from his full time job to create all sorts of content, the grind that goes into running a podcast (from booking, recording, editing, marketing, etc.), and where he's found this love and drive to keep going with this show when in reality sponsors are not all storming to his front door...yet. Beyond the Profile is a podcast where we discuss hard-hitting career stories with professionals of all ages. We're looking to get into the nitty gritty when it comes to breaking down our guests' career paths, why did they choose the industry/company they work for, where did their passions come from, and what are they looking to do to make a difference in the future for the work they're involved in. This is a chance for all of us to learn and potentially implement how these guests go about their business, decision-making, and ultimately how they found a love for their craft.

This week, I chatted with Dr. Tykeia Robinson (also known as Keia). You may know her as co-host of the Gettin’ Grown Podcast, but she is also a PhD in Higher Education and multi-passionate side hustler with over 10 years of experience in higher education. She is also Head Coach of #TeamTypingFast, an online community of practice for anybody with work to do. I started getting to know Keia last year after attending the Gettin’ Grown live podcast show. Fun fact: she and co-host Jade are one of the BIGGEST inspirations for me doing my own live show. One of the things I admire most about Keia is her commitment to supporting, encouraging, and uplifting Black women. In addition to Gettin’ Grown and #TeamTypingFast, Keia’s full-time job involves doing research that informs curriculum, policy, and practice, and she develops training for school faculty leaders. In today’s episode, she shares how she juggles everything, and what she’s learning along the way.

Today we are back with another Side Hustle Spotlight, featuring a woman who is still very much in the side hustle grind or recently left their job to go full time. Today’s spotlight is Tomara Watkins, the Founder of Loza Tam, an eCommerce brand of satin-lined headwraps that are handcrafted in Ghana by women entrepreneurs. Tomara (AKA “Tam”) is an eCommerce entrepreneur who has over 10 years of digital marketing experience growth hacking CPG and beauty brands like Bevel, FORM, and Heat Free Hair. She’s traveled to 10 countries on the continent of Africa so far and as you’ll hear in this episode, it was when Tomara went to Howard University that she fell in love with all things Africa. After traveling to Ghana, the bold prints and colors spoke to her, and she came up with the idea of African print, satin-lined headbands, and head wrap turbans. Determined to build a business with women, like the women in her family, she ensures that all of Loza Tam’s products are crafted by women entrepreneurs, so they can support their families and continue to plant the same seeds that were planted in her as a young adult.

This weeks Side-hustle spotlight was such a treat. I am sharing with you my friend and neighbor, Kristen Savee. Kristen is a military Momma of five...you saw that correctly...And she is killing her side-hustle. She didn't always have a side-hustle, however. Kristen initially worked in corporate America for a large restaurant chain, but after the birth of her first two children, she felt the pull and stress of balancing being a mom and moving every few years. BUILDING A HOME-BASED BUSINESS She began strategically searching for a business she could build and stay at home with her children. She wanted a business with unlimited potential - but that also that appealed to most demographics. She found Scentsy. The catch was - at the time she could not afford the $99 it took to begin her Scentsy business. So she saved whatever she could, a few dollars here and a few dollars there - until she raised the $99 to start. Since beginning as an Independent Scentsy Consultant, Kristen has built her business and is on track to meet her goal of earning $2500 a month for 12 consecutive months. This will be a huge accomplishment for her and will also put her on track to receive a large bonus at the end of the year and placer her among an elite group of people who have been able to make the same achievement. KEYS TO BUILDING HER DIRECT SALES BUSINESS Kristen shares several tips that have helped her grow her business. Realize and go after SMART goals - this is not a business you will make a million dollars overnight. Social Media is your friend - but just a post on your page is not going to bring you the business. Focus on building relationships Don't be Spammy. No one likes that! HUSTLE! Create dedicated times to work on your business around your family's schedule. KRISTEN ON PARENTING FIVE CHILDREN It takes A LOT to keep a household of five children functioning under ANY circumstances - but throw in the mix that your spouse is deployed often for long periods of time....Well, frankly, I don't know if I could do it. Kristen has found several ways to keep her household and her sanity intact. Chores - all of her children, even her four-year-old Addison has chores. For instance, Addison knows how to vacuum as well as help sort with laundry. Her 10-year old, Madeline, help Kristen bathe the baby each night and Austin and Bryson, her 11 and 7-year-old, do the dishes after dinner. She says that one of the key things she has learned is that it is OK for kids to not do things EXACTLY how we might do them. It's part of learning - but also allows them to grow and gain confidence. Because her kids all pitch in - she is able to set aside time, just for them on the weekends, to do fun things and enjoy more time with them - which they love. If you would like to hear how Kristen makes a weekly food budget of $175 work for her family - listen in to the episode above. You will also hear how she has taught her children how to keep and balance their own checkbooks. HOW COOL IS THAT? HOW TO REACH KRISTEN It was such an honor to share my friend with you. I hope you all enjoyed her story and are inspired - not only by her HUSTLE - but how she manages her large family as a military Momma as well. You can find Kristen on her website by clicking HERE. or check her amazing family on Facebook, HERE.

Welcome to our first Side-Hustle Spotlight!!! The three principle vehicles to accelerate a person's path to Financial Independence are to find ways to save more, spend less and/or increase one's income. As all of our listeners are well aware, both Timika and I are big supporters of both the side-hustle and entrepreneurship. Whether it is a temporary side-hustle to pay off debt in a short period of time, creating a side business to grow into a full-time business or simply to work extra to infuse your retirement, each of these options are a great way to get you closer to your financial goals. Our guest spotlight is Jammie. She drives on the weekends for both Uber and Lyft and can earn anywhere between $325.00 to $900.00 a weekend depending on how many hours she works and bonuses for high demand days or times. Obviously, that is an incredible amount! How life changing would it be to your budget to have that type of influx of cash? Now, of course, these are one person's experiences and we cannot guarantee that you will earn the same amount we simply want to provide you with the experience of others so that you can explore options. In deciding whether or not becoming a driver is for you or not, Timika and I would like to point out a few considerations. PROS: Quick start-up Easy and quick payment Flexible Good earning potential Meeting people Tip potential Potential expense write-offs CONS/CONSIDERATIONS: Wear and tear on the vehicle Self-employed - all the ramifications of being self-employed Responsible for taxes Need a newer vehicle Strangers in your car/possible safety concerns This is not an exhaustive list - but some of the more apparent benefits and considerations.

TRACKING MILEAGE: There are many apps available to track mileage while you drive. The Lyft and Uber apps track the miles for actual passenger rides; however, if you want to track the total amount you are driving, you can also use your own APP. These typically run in the background and are very user-friendly. One Wendy recommends is MILE IQ, which you can get by clicking HERE. SIGN-UP HERE READY TO DRIVE? Follow the links below to get started. The process is fairly simple. You will typically have to upload via your phone or computer: your driver's license insurance vehicle registration agree to a background check sometimes have your vehicle pass a safety inspection sometimes and in-person orientation I AM READY TO DRIVE! SIGN ME UP! OTHER OPTIONS: Timika recently wrote a review for Zemcar, which helps parents safely transport their children. It's just one more option if you are thinking about driving. Are you currently driving for another service? WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU! CLICK THE LEAVE A VOICEMAIL LINK AND ANSWER A FEW QUESTIONS HERE.
