April 29, 2025 The Rise of Side Hustles: Passion or Pressure?
Side hustles are everywhere—from online shops and freelance gigs to late-night content creation. But are they a path to freedom or just another layer of financial survival? In this episode of Need to Know, we break down the cultural and economic forces behind the hustle boom. We examine why so many people are taking on second (and third) jobs, how social media glamorizes constant productivity, and what the real emotional cost of “always working” can be. Whether you’re considering a side hustle or drowning in one, we’ll help you ask the right questions and build a healthier, more intentional approach to earning extra income—without sacrificing your sanity.
