COVID-19 has prompted many people to search for somewhat unconventional sources of income.  

New businesses have been created at a record-breaking pace. And hobbies have turned into money-making opportunities.

Did you do it because you needed the money?

Or was it because the pandemic made you reevaluate your life and realize that you needed to chase your dreams?

Today, local business experts discuss pandemic side-hustles and their impact on the economy, the workforce, and personal fulfillment.

Plus, listeners call in to share their personal stories of launching new businesses and following their passions during the pandemic.
