338: Passive Income and How To Give Advice (feat. Meg Lewis)
Design Details
I've Been There, and I'm Not a Fan of Twitter.
M, i think there's people who want to get involved in twitter and they want to be a part of a conversation. There are people on the other side of that who are actually going to be reading that and responding to that and internalizing it. And if we can avoid it, i think we should.
This week, we catch up with Meg Lewis, a designer, coach, writer, speaker, business-owner, podcaster, and all-around fun human being. We talk about building passive income streams, how to give advice, having strong opinions, and facing public criticism β among many other things. And as always, we share our cool things of the week included a very timely hygiene product, new mobile apps, and a YouTube playlist.
