Many of us in the sports creative world have something brewing outside our day gigs — a side biz, a personal brand, a random project we tinker with after games. Some start them to make extra cash, some to keep their sanity and some because the itch to create never really turns off.

In this episode, I’m sharing why those “little things on the side” aren’t just hobbies - they’re creative lifelines. We’ll talk about why it’s never too late to start, how side projects help you grow without the pressure, the real benefits (and challenges) you can expect and practical ways to begin without burning out.

If you’ve been thinking about starting a side project - or need a push to keep going with yours - this is your sign.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• What counts as a side project (and why they matter)
• Why starting late doesn’t mean you’ve missed your chance
• The hidden benefits for your career, skills, and sanity
• Tips for starting small and keeping it fun

Hit play, and let’s talk about the work that feeds your passion, not just your paycheck.
