CHRIS GUILLEBEAU / ONWARD PROJECT
About this episode

In this week’s Failure Friday segment, we hear from a man with an idea to become a professional line-stander, waiting in line for concert tickets, new iPhones, and anything else that people wanted to pay him for. Unfortunately, this business idea fails to attract a crowd.

Side Hustle School features a new episode EVERY DAY, featuring detailed case studies of people who earn extra money without quitting their job. This year, the show includes free guided lessons and listener Q&A several days each week.
