179: Be Willing to Fail in Public (or You'll Never Start)
Episode 179
mardi 13 janvier 2026 • Duration 18:33
Most people don't fail because they lack ideas, talent, or motivation. They stall because they're waiting to feel ready.
In this episode, I revisit a powerful conversation from the very beginning of the Side Hustle Hero podcast with my first-ever guest, Joel Young. It opens with a simple but uncomfortable truth: you don't really grow until you're willing to fail ... in front of other people.
Joel shares how he got started recording voiceovers in his closet with almost no experience, no studio, and no certainty about where it would lead. That willingness to start before he felt ready eventually helped him become one of Fiverr's all-time top earners, with $2.7 million in earnings at the time of our interview.
In this conversation, we talk about:
- why waiting for confidence keeps most people stuck
- why practicing in private only gets you so far
- how starting before you feel ready builds real skill
- how reframing what you think of as "giving something up" can make working on a side hustle feel more empowering
If you've been holding back because you don't want to look foolish, make mistakes, or put yourself out there before you feel ready, this conversation will help you rethink what it really takes to get started.

It's a pretty simple business to learn, and Shannon says you can get up and running for as little as $200 dollars in peaches.
Listen in to hear;
- tips for sourcing the fruit, and the key questions to ask,
- pricing considerations,
- finding the best location,

mardi 12 mars 2024 • Duration 40:16
Want to fly first or business class using the least number of points?
Today's guest knows how!
When Spencer Howard realized that credit card points were his ticket to luxury travel he went all in, spending four hours a night for six months reading all the airline routing rules and credit card fine print he could find, to learn how to best navigate award travel and loyalty programs.

His company, Straight to the Points now has a subscriber membership of over 21,0000.
Could becoming skilled at points accumulation become a side hustle for you? Or maybe you could use some expert tips on finding great travel deals? Spencer shares insights for both.

87: Essential Intel To Co-Host Short-Term Rentals, with Sean Parker
Episode 87
mardi 27 février 2024 • Duration 51:46
Today we're delving into the world of co-hosting short-term rental properties.
The start up costs can be quite minimal as you don't own the properties, but rather, you're solving a lot of problems for the property owners and you have the opportunity to serve and profit from both them and the guests staying at the properties.
Sean Parker fills us in on the details. Together with his wife Jill, they currently co-host 52 properties and look after close to 65 properties earning them gross revenues in the high 6-figures.
You'll discover,
- Why he pivoted to a model that is "revenue-based" instead of "occupancy-based"
- What can make or break the all important 5-star ratings
- revenue and expenses
- the downside of co-hosting that people don't often talk about, and
- what is currently more profitable: owning a property yourself, or cohosting
