The end of the year is upon us, which means it's time to reflect back on the side hustles that stood out — the ones that got people talking, the ones I was most excited to share, the ones that made me think, "Dang, I need to drop what I'm doing and go try that."
Now the mark of a good episode, for me, is when I hang up the call thinking exactly that.
And I try to exercise some level of discipline because the shiny object syndrome is real, but when the shiny object shines for me, I know it's going to be a hit episode.
So I've selected my top 10 for the year, presented in chronological order. If you're new to the show, I've included episode numbers so you can check out the ones you're interested in.
And if you're a long-time listener, see if your favorites made the list.
