Travis Makes Money Make Money with Side Hustles... BESIDES Uber!
This Q&A episode features Travis and his producer Eric, digging into modern realities around wages and the importance (and possibilities) of side hustles in 2025. Drawing on real-world examples and listener questions, Travis breaks down practical steps for anyone—whether stuck at minimum wage, looking to upskill, or considering taking a side gig full time. The conversation debunks common myths, highlights actionable pathways, and injects a healthy dose of tough love and encouragement.
On this episode we talk about:
-
Why minimum wage jobs alone aren’t enough to thrive in today’s economy
-
How to pick a side hustle that fits your schedule, skills, and goals
-
Building skills that pay: sales, arbitrage, creative freelancing, and more
-
When (and if) to turn your side gig into your full-time work
-
The mindset shifts required to get out of the “employee only” mentality
Top 3 Takeaways
-
Skills are the ultimate wealth-building lever—don’t just trade time for dollars, constantly invest in learning and improving high-value abilities.
-
Action brings clarity: Try several small side hustles or projects, analyze the results, and double down on what works and what you enjoy.
-
You don’t have to quit your job unless you want to—side hustles can supplement income, fund investments, or become your main gig if they outpace your current job.
