Luna challenges whether this relies too much on personal branding, and they discuss the risks of intellectual property ownership when using school-district resources. The episode also covers pricing strategies, the importance of diversifying subjects to avoid seasonality, and how Jenna transitioned from side hustle to full-time curriculum designer in June 2026.

Episode 78 of The Side Hustle Career Podcast: Lucas and Luna sit down with Jake Morrison, a licensed plumber from Phoenix, Arizona, who turned his expertise in water flow rates and leak detection into a $10,000 per month consulting side hustle. Jake helps commercial properties — hotels, apartment complexes, and office buildings — reduce their water bills by identifying inefficiencies and negotiating with municipal utilities for rebates. Lucas and Luna break down how Jake started by cold-emailing property managers with a free water audit offer, built a referral network, and now works just 12 hours a week on top of his full-time plumbing job. They discuss the key numbers: average savings of 18% on water bills for clients, a 40% close rate on proposals, and the specific tools Jake uses — like ultrasonic flow meters and data loggers.
