Today in the guest chair we have a Podcast Moguls student spotlight with Shonitria Anthony, host of the Blunt Blowin Mama Podcast. Blunt Blowin’ Mama started in December 2017 as a cannabis lifestyle platform that aims to normalize parents who consume cannabis by having open and honest conversations about the plant. In 2019, The Blunt Blowin’ Mama podcast was launched and was named one of the “Top eight cannabis podcasts you need in your life” by Forbes. 

 In this episode Shonitria shares:

• How she launched and scaled her podcast using the methods that I teach inside of Podcast Moguls. 
• How she went from having an idea and being intimidated by the process of starting a podcast on her own to learning about Podcast Moguls and making the investment in herself by joining the program. 
• How she grew the podcast to become the the top-rated weekly Blunt Blowin’ Mama podcast, and how she monetizes her show via podcast sponsorship and her BBM merchandise.

This week in the guest chair we have Shirley Ansley. In 2015, Shirley went on a journey to start a business and tried to DIY her website only to find out that making your own website is kind of hard. She became instantly obsessed with figuring out how to build a website the right way and along the way found herself starting a business as a freelance website designer.

She ran her business on the side while still working a full time job for almost two years until finally taking the leap. She left her 9 to 5 while three months pregnant with her second child a few months before the pandemic hit.

Today, she is a successful (and profitable) freelance website designer who’s had the privilege of working with award winning podcasts, POC women-led businesses, national organizations and more. 

In today’s episode we get into:

• The strategy she used to transition from her job while still growing her side hustle
• How she worked on and improved her technical design knowledge so she could shift from charging $675 for a website to now charging $5000-$10000
• And so much more!

This week we have a rewind episode of the update episode with Teri Ijeoma! One of my goals this year is to dive into Teri’s Trade & Travel course & start trading as a side hustle. And I’m kicking it off by joining her Your First Trade Challenge. Check it out here: http://sidehustlepro.co/firsttrade

Teri Ijeoma began her professional career working in education and nonprofits. When she started trading stocks eleven years ago, she initially saw it as an opportunity to simply supplement her income. However, she was so successful with this side hustle that in 2017, she decided to quit her job, travel the world, and begin trading full-time. While traveling, Teri was constantly asked to show others how she was successfully trading in the stock market. She set up and taught her first class in Thailand, her second in Vietnam, and had a fully-fledged curriculum created by the time she returned to the States. Teri now offers an online curriculum that shares her investing strategies with people all over the world. She also partners with organizations and companies to train and empower individuals to achieve financial freedom and build wealth through investing.

In this episode, Teri shares advice on how to finally get started with her course, how to work on your mindset for trading and gives some tips on how to reach your income goals with trading.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Her preferred trading method and what is the difference (going long vs short selling)
• How to actually get started with Teri’s trading course & trading in general + what causes us to delay getting started
• Can you really trade stocks as a side hustle to earn an extra income
• Paper trading and its benefits
• How to set concrete goals in trading
