I had an absolutely delightful time speaking with this week's guest, Chris Hurley, from Perspective Pathways.  Chris and I are both Recovering Housing Professionals and our places of employment not far from each other.   He's quite the renaissance man given his youth and I am so excited to see what Chris brings into the world through his work.

In Higher Education, he has had the joy of working at a number of art and design colleges including MICA, The New School, Otis College of Art and Design, and is now a Career Advisor at ArtCenter College of Design. As a former design student and professional designer, Chris brings design thinking and creative problem solving into every aspect of their work.

After years of supporting art and design students, Chris decided to open his own business, coaching Artists and Designers to have a successful creative career in the industry of their dreams.

I spent about five hours in urgent care this week - nothing too "urgent," per se, but I did have the doc tell me one thing:  you have too much stress right now.

YIKES.  Isn't that what they tell you when they are about to put you on medicine or tell you to lose 50 pounds?  Well, I do need to do the latter, but that's beside the point

By Friday of this past week, I was crying almost every hour and I finally figured out why.  So this week's episode is all about three things that are making me sick and stressed right now.

They aren't surprising things - they are probably things that happen to you, too.  And they are easy to mitigate and navigate, so stay tuned for a new episode in the coming weeks on how I'm choosing to deal with it all.  I have a plan, of course!

Do you have introvert qualities?  I bet some of you do!  And did you know that introverts make amazing business owners? To see if this sounds like you, CLICK HERE to pick up my new assessment and guide.  

This week we are talking with a healthcare professional who is changing lives in so many ways.  Not only does she work a nursing job in LA, but she also invests in real estate!  Talk about getting your Side Hustle ON!  This was a totally delightful conversation with Savannah Arroyo, also known as The Networth  Nurse. 

Savannah and I talk about all things real-estate-side-hustle, which is completely greek to me, but it was an amazing conversation.  We discuss working with your spouse, something we have in common; and what it's like to work a full time job and side hustle with kids, which we do not have in common.  LOL.

Savannah "The Networth Nurse" is a full-time Registered Nurse in Los Angeles, California. She uses her skills as a leader in healthcare operations to manage multi-family syndications. She also helps busy medical professionals create passive income through real estate investing.

If you’ve read my book, “The 9 to 5 Side Hustler:  A Guide to Managing Your Day Job with Your Small Business,” then you know that clear separation is key to finding the time to do both jobs well.  It’s not hard work to do this - but you do have to work hard.  It’s important to be intentional and thoughtful about your approach - but these six tips will be helpful to as you find clarity with this process.

Meanwhile, if you have not started a side hustle just yet, I have a great quiz that will help you determine the best direction to go.  Grab this up today and get started on your new business!

Well, friends, here we are!  The new show is launching and I am SO friggin' excited!  It's been great fun to work with my coach and make the decision to niche down a bit and start talking to career professionals in higher education about creating time to work on their side hustles.  

And the result is "The Got Side Hustle Show."  Still the same host - me, Kris McPeak - and still a huge focus on productivity and time management.  "Elevate Your 8" really hasn't gone anywhere - it's still the basis for everything I teach and role model and it will be shared often with the new format.  

But I really wanted to start talking to the people that I'm best designed to support, and that's folks like me who work in higher education.  In that vein, not all the guests will be higher education practitioners, but we can all learn from everyone who has ever held a full-time job AND a side hustle.  

If you haven't listened to the BONUS episode from February 22nd, please go check that out because it really digs into why I wanted to shift my show around.

And now - here's my FIRST guest!

Well, here it is. I’ve been working on this new show concept for about three months now.  And I’m so excited to roll it out!

Elevate Your 8 is now The Got Side Hustle Show!  This is the show where I help Career Professionals in higher education create time for their side hustle so they don’t waste their potential.  You know who you are - the Student Life staffer who longs to create a consulting business on diversity.  The Fiscal Services auditor would like to build a tax preparation gig on the side.  Or the Career Services manager who wants to coach career changers on the weekends.  There are dozens and dozens of possibilities and I want to help you get there.

This show will feature solo episodes where I teach a concept or strategy, interviews with career professionals, and “hot seat” coaching episodes (which are FREE - apply here).  

I can’t wait to share more interviews and episodes with you!  Make sure you hit the SUBSCRIBE button so you don’t miss an episode!

We are creeping up on the last episode of Elevate Your 8 and getting ready to transition to "The Got Side Hustle Show."  Are you as excited as I am?
