Episode notes

i think where a lot of times we get hung up is feeling like it has to turn into something, you know, it actually has to become a side hustle. I love the fact that i earn money from writing. It's a huge privilege. But i really want to get back to that and do something that never makes it on the internet. So many old businesses are crumbling, so many new ideas can come through. And it's kind of amazing that you start something for fun and it can turn into a business. You know first hand that things can turn into things. Sometimes it's like sitting back and thinking, ok, this is running away from me and turning into a job
