Elena Ciccotelli is the creator and host of Sid Gig Central Podcast. Through her business she helps female entrepreneurs start and grow their side gigs. As someone who works a corporate job while scaling her side gig, she gives practical advice to others who might be scared to leave their full-time job. She shares her concept that not all ideas need to turn into businesses and sometimes we don't even need to monetize our passions right away-hence Lean Into Curiosity podcast.
