This episode picks up Part 2 of the Top 10 Takeaways from Surviving the Side Hustle — pulling lessons from some of the most impactful conversations since the show began.

Guest: Celeste Moore
Episode 82 – February 26, 2025
This conversation centered on confidence, presence, and personal branding — not as aesthetics, but as alignment.
Many people want to be taken seriously in their business, career, or side hustle… yet they don’t take themselves seriously first.

Reflection: Where do others believe in you more than you currently believe in yourself?
Guest: Bob Martin
Episode 135 – November 18, 2025

Key Lesson: Clarity doesn’t come from speed — it comes from space.
Prime Performance Tie-In: Momentum requires regular check-ins, not just checklists.
Reflection: When was the last time you paused long enough to ask, “Is this still the right direction?”
Guest: Danny Brasile

Key Lesson: Connection precedes conversion.
Prime Performance Tie-In: Prime Performers speak to people — not over them.
Reflection: In your conversations, are you focused more on your response… or their reality?
Guest: Quinn Magnuson
Episode 139 – From Gridiron to Boardroom
Quinn shared lessons from athletics, discipline, and long-term consistency. Motivation fluctuates. Conditions change. Results aren’t guaranteed.

Prime Performance Tie-In: Confidence is built through small, repeatable actions.
Reflection: What is one effort you can commit to consistently in 2026 — regardless of how it feels?
Guest: Adam Vora
Episode 33 – March 20, 2024
This conversation explored purpose, decision-making, and the danger of too many well-meaning voices.
Too much input creates confusion. Clarity improves when alignment replaces consensus.
Key Lesson: Discernment is a performance skill.
Prime Performance Tie-In: Prime Performers choose mentors, inputs, and feedback intentionally.
Reflection: Whose voice do you need to turn down in 2026 so you can hear your own more clearly?
