Charles Dolbel is a balloon twisting, juggling, fire performer in Auckland, New Zealand, who lost most of his income overnight due to the pandemic and quickly got a work-from-home desk job working in a call center for an essential service in his home city. We also touch on topics related to running a wholesale business from his home and how a side gig can sometimes not only pay more than a day job, but it can also provide some freedom in terms of changing jobs if one ever lands in a toxic work environment. Charles is a natural educator who loves to encourage others to think differently the structure of their day, workspace, and ideas about earning and/or saving money.
