In this episode of The Potentializer Podcast, Lance Edwards sits down with Bart Merrell—international entrepreneur, author, and the "Side Hustle Samurai." Bart is on a mission to help people create financial security by monetizing what they already know, already do, and already love. From growing up on a pig farm in New Mexico, to DJing as a teen, to bungee-jumping in Japan, Bart has turned life's opportunities (and even its setbacks—including the amputation of his leg) into income streams. His philosophy is simple but powerful: when life gives you lemons, build a lemonade stand and sell the stuff. In this conversation, Bart and Lance explore:

• Why everyone needs a side hustle (or three).
• How to recognize overlooked opportunities right under your nose.
• The biggest mistake people make when choosing a side hustle.
• How Bart transformed personal tragedy into a way to serve others.
• The "Acres of Diamonds" story that will change how you see your own opportunities.
