Side Hustle Hero 150: The Best Way to Help a Teen Start a Side Hustle
What if the teen in your life could build confidence, real-world skills, and earn income—all before turning 18?
In this episode, I sit down with Renee and Jonathan Harris, parents of nine kids, many of whom have already launched their own side hustles. We talk about how they've guided their kids to discover what they're naturally good at, take ownership of their learning, and turn those interests into cash flow.
Whether you're a parent, mentor, aunt, uncle, grandparent, or simply someone who cares about helping teens thrive, this conversation is full of honest, practical insight.
You'll learn:
- How to recognize the difference between a teen's interest and their underlying skill set
- Why starting within the household is often the best first step
- What to do when your teen receives no feedback—or negative feedback—on their efforts
- How to normalize both the hard seasons and the wins of entrepreneurship
- Why serving others is the key to turning a hobby into a side hustle
