Welcome to the Money Talks Podcast! In today’s episode, we’re reminiscing and revealing some of the most creative and surprising ways we made money growing up and in college. From tutoring and running a lemonade stand on campus to dog walking and babysitting, we’ll share how hustling started early for us.

We’ll also dive into the digital grind — from managing social media accounts and affiliate marketing to content creation without being a full-blown influencer. Plus, we’re spotlighting Home From College, a Gen Z-friendly platform that connects students with paid gigs and real-world experience — with opportunities ranging from $10 tasks to $5,000 projects!

Whether you're into one-time gigs, side hustles, or full-time remote roles, we’ve got ideas for you — including becoming a virtual assistant, launching an online course, or freelance writing from anywhere. Tune in for inspiration, ideas, and laughs as we unpack the wild world of side hustles.
