The Side Hustle Show

Are laundromats "the ultimate side hustle," like my guest Jordan Berry described? These simple, local, cash-flowing businesses have been around forever, but surprisingly this is the first time discussing them in detail on the show. Jordan is a former pastor turned laundromat mogul. Along the way, he's become an advocate for the industry through his website and podcast at LaundromatResource.com [https://laundromatresource.com/]. Jordan got the idea to buy a laundromat after his wife told him about a family friend quitting his day job in tech after buying one. It wasn’t just the income potential that intrigued Jordan. He wanted a business that would generate passive income [https://www.sidehustlenation.com/passive-income/] -- and yield better returns than real estate [https://www.sidehustlenation.com/investing/real-estate/]. Jordan has been able to achieve both of those things through buying laundromats.

Ever feel like you need a personal assistant but can't afford one? Hannah Morgan found a way to help busy families get that support without the big price tag. She started Heron House Management [https://heronhousemanagement.com], a virtual service that handles all the stuff families need to do but never have time for. Think about it: remembering when summer camp sign-ups open, booking doctor appointments, planning family trips, or just keeping track of everyone's schedules. Hannah's team does all of that - from their computers. Her business made $60,000 last year and keeps growing. And the best part is she works totally remote and helps families get their time back.

What if you could turn something destined for the landfill into a thriving business that's now sold in luxury stores like Selfridges and Bloomingdale's? Charlotte Liebling noticed a heartbreaking problem while volunteering at a charity shop: donated stuffed animals were going straight into the bin or being sold as dog toys, despite the love and memories attached to them. Instead of accepting this waste, Charlotte saw an opportunity. She created Love Before [https://lovedbefore.london/], what she calls a "sustainable soft toy adoption agency" that's now facilitated over 10,000 adoptions and built partnerships with some of the world's most prestigious retailers. Charlotte runs it while still working another full-time job, proving that with the right systems and passionate community, you can scale a side hustle to impressive heights.

What if you could turn someone else's proven product into a six-figure side hustle by simply adding your own story and marketing magic? Chris Gray from BaldBuck.com [https://baldbuck.com/] is doing exactly that with his barbecue seasoning business, generating around $300,000 annually selling a product he didn't create — he just white-labeled it with his own branding and marketing approach. Chris didn't spend months in a lab perfecting his own spice blend. Instead, he found a seasoning that was already working, slapped his own label on it, and built a compelling story around it. Now he has a thriving e-commerce business that proves you don't need to reinvent the wheel to build something profitable.
