Fishes,
Random question but has anyone ever done any other hot spotch jobs like freelancing for supplementary dough? I'd like to earn a little something on the side. If you have, what kind of jobs were they? I'd love to hear how you found them. For example, if I knew a second language, I could've potentially done audio transcription/ translation as it's relatively niche and is also commission based - it would've been easy to scale up/ down depending on my week and other factors.

That site mainly covers remote jobs. In person client site can be really tough. No suggestions.

I create businesses, not jobs for myself. Since joining my firm:
-hot sauce company
-interview and resume coaching service and classes
-fashion company
-Partner with multiple event companies and festival companies
-Business development helping my friend's SEO company

Each of these take 1-2 hours a week once they got off the ground. Just budget your time and set guardrails against your fellow wage-cagers at work giving you assignments during off hours

That's so cool!! These all seem infrastructure dependant at some level. Can you describe what kind of investment it took to get each of these off the ground?

and regarding you being in-person at client sites, are these clients out of town. If so, make the free travel work for you. I used to go up to the bay area weekly for one of my clients, always out of the office by 4 to network or go to meetings with interested parties.

Harder to do if client site is in town though (no travel allowances)

We’re considering adding wearables tracking to pull in health metrics for a wellness app. Let’s say we plan on doing iOS only and one approach is only doing apple health integration, while another is to use a 3rd party aggregator like Validic or Humanapi to integrate once and get access to Fitbit, Oura, WearOS, and tons of other wearables. Which route would you suggest?

I'm estimating 3 years to see middle school students buy in, and 5-6 years before my high school program sees any fruit of that labor. Stay? Move on?
