    654: I Interviewed My AI Self … What it Got Right, Wrong, and a Little Weird

    It’s 2025, and the line between reality and science fiction is getting more and more blurry every day. In this episode, I sit down with someone I’ve never met, but they know me pretty well. He even kind of sounds like me in an eerie sort of way. I was curious how well today’s AI models could pretend to be someone else, given a few simple prompts. The result is this chat with Robo-Nick, my AI alter ego. Let’s see how well Robo-Nick answers these questions, plus my real thoughts about them. (This episode relied heavily on ElevenLabs to generate the voice for Robo-Nick.) Tune in to episode 654 of The Side Hustle Show to learn: The biggest opportunities (and pitfalls) for side hustlers in the AI era. Actionable tips to future-proof your income and leverage new trends effectively. Full Show Notes: I Interviewed My AI Self … What it Got Right, Wrong, and a Little Weird New to the Show?

    Do you know how much cash flows through your hometown on a monthly basis? In this episode we explore how to get some of that cash flowing toward you! I'm joined by Nick Huber, co-founder of Storage Squad and host of The Sweaty Startup podcast. Storage Squad, a student storage service, has grown to over $3M in sales since starting it as a little part-time project back in 2011. I invited Nick on The Side Hustle Show to help walk us through his "sweaty startup" framework. That is, how you can start a low-risk, low-overhead, local, service-based business, set it up for success, and let that be the vehicle that drives you away from a lifetime of cubicle slavery. Tune in to hear Nick’s thoughts on generating service business ideas you could start today, evaluating the market and competition, and scoring your first customers. That’s why I think this is pretty exciting -- it really doesn’t take many customers to begin to make a meaningful income here.
