The Guest

Get prepared to meet New York Times’ Bestselling Author Chris Guillebeau and learn strategies to start your Side Hustle and learn how you can make money on the side and travel.

Chris is a writer, traveler, entrepreneur, and the author of the new book Side Hustle: From Idea to Income in 27 Days.

Five years ago, I remember staying in a hostel on the beach in Nicaragua for $7/night reading Chris’ original book The Art of Non-ConformityThis is a book that made dramatic impact on my life and inspired me to build Under30Experiences into what it is today. If you haven’t heard about Chris’ World Domination Summit, it’s a community I highly recommend getting involved with.  

The Episode

Do you know anyone who’s traveled to every country in the world?

Chris and I talk about what it’s like to see every country in the world and how creating such a massive quest for himself allowed him to get to know himself better, which almost always leads to greater confidence and levels of success.

I have the opportunity to ask Chris how he began to find his voice, especially as an introvert, and what other shy people can do to get out of their comfort zones.  

If you are wondering what’s next in your life or how you can start to earn money on the side, I highly suggest listening in to Chris’ advice. I truly enjoyed this conversation and knowing that not everyone has to take the same path to success and starting a side business should be easy and fun.

Listen until the end to find out Chris’ favorite book, country, meal, and worst side hustle he ever started himself.
