We touch on all things arcade games, nostalgia, and bringing a true third-place alive for people. We talk about how entrepreneurial endeavors can start bit by bit, until they eventually lead to a launch. We also address the concept of thematic layering in business and bringing several different types of people together under one business plan.

Episode 28 - Tom Nicholls: "Tom of All Trades"

Tune in to Episode 28 with Tom Nicholls, or “Tom of All Trades.” This name is appropriate for a few reasons. Tom is fully employed in terms of receiving a W2 income, but also has several side hustles, which compliment and round out the legs of his proverbial stool. While earning a full time income at Boeing, Tom also has his own remodeling company, does home flipping, and dabbles quite a bit in the market. The list goes on. Our conversation is something that is a huge topic for people. The ability to have a primary income generator and then one or several side projects, side hustles, or income streams that can either compliment or even exceed full time employment income. We also chat on various other topics such as business models, business processes, finances, time management, and balance. This is a great episode to learn and explore how to expand your reach as an entrepreneur. You can reach Tom at: Tncompany90@gmail.com [Tncompany90@gmail.com]
