Thank you so much for having me Steven! I want everyone watching this to take away this 1 thing: If you’re curious about starting a business or a side hustle, answer that question for yourself. Please find out if it’s for you or not! The pain of regret is much stronger than the pain of failure! You can do it!

I’m a bit confused why this is called ‘passive’ income if the answer is just starting a side hustle. To me, passive income is my money working for me...not me adding another job or comitment with my time.

His emphasis on experimentation, testing ideas cheaply, and focusing on actionable steps over “passive income fantasies” is such a refreshing take. A great reminder that entrepreneurship is less about big budgets and more about curiosity, discipline, and rapid learning.

When I was six years old my parents bought a house two houses down from Chris. We played basketball and hung out all summer long and after school. A really good guy. I always knew he was incredibly smart and entrepreneurial. He moved away three or four years later. He reached out on social media about 12 or 13 years ago. I am not surprised in the slightest to see how well he has done for himself in life.
