This week on Hustling Sideways, Allen Halas and Jim Love get real about the inevitable slumps that hit every side hustler. We've all been there—staring at the screen, unable to find that creative spark, or watching productivity flatline despite our best intentions. The guys open up about their own struggles with losing momentum, sharing the honest (and sometimes hilarious) ways they've tried to snap out of it. Allen and Jim explore practical strategies that have actually worked when motivation runs dry. Whether you're grinding on your passion project or building your empire one evening at a time, this episode offers a much-needed reality check: everyone falls out of the zone, and getting back in is a skill worth developing.

Hustling Sideways is a business podcast hosted by Milwaukee-based music writer Allen Halas and keynote and motivational speaker Jim Love. The two both attended Marquette University, and now host the show to discuss the side hustles and passion projects of people that they meet, all while continuing to run their own side businesses. Every Monday, they're either interviewing a guest, or talking about the different aspects of business that side hustlers go through when balancing their 9-to-5 and their entrepreneurship endeavors. You can get the podcast wherever you download podcasts, as well as on our YouTube channel.
