It's that time of year again — Thanksgiving!
This summer, we caught part of the Rubik's Cube World Championships in Seattle. The fastest solvers in the world can solve a 3x3 cube in under 5 seconds.
But what really caught my attention? There was $5,000 in prize money for first place. Another reminder that just about any skill is monetizable if you're committed enough.
And nothing gets me more excited than finding cool, creative ways to make extra money and sharing them with you.
This is our 9th annual Thanksgiving tradition — a roundup of 10 of the most interesting and inspiring side hustles that crossed my desk this year. We've got product businesses, service businesses, and content businesses. Something for everyone in what's always one of my favorite episodes to put together.
