Welcome to the best bits of the episode distilled down into something a little shorter and easier to digest and put into action. In episode one of Side Show Hustle Matt interviews Jen Paynter where they journey through the process of launching a successful crowdfunding product. Jen's story is a fantastic journey from start to finish - but with the story it can be a little difficult to distill down what the key learnings were, especially if you're in a rush. The intention of Analysis Uncut is to highlight what Matt and his guest host thought were the best parts of the episode - and then to start riffing on ideas of where you could take the business - the hope being that we deliver some gold nuggets of advice back to our hustlers to say a million thank-you's for taking the time to share their story. Secondly, I hope you guys, the community behind Side Show Hustle can pick up more ideas to implement across whatever it is you are doing - hopefully you get the sense of being a fly on the wall and enjoy the banter as we discuss how we might take the business forward - in real-time and unscripted. You will have noticed I said Guest Host - yep, we'll be changing it up regularly - and if you or anyone you know is an out of the box thinker or a specialist in any area - just put your hand up - we want manufacturing gurus, tech gurus, marketing gurus, comms gurus - we have a massive variety of hustler's coming up. Reach out - you just need a microphone and photo! Guest Host This episode I'm joined by Katie Wilke - she is a founder at www.SquareOnePR.com.au and is a veteran PR, crisis and social media communications specialist. She's handled massive corporate media blowups (think the worst kind of stuff that happens in this world, but where you need to communicate to communities and all sorts of stakeholders) out to helping super tiny businesses find their footing on National media, back to big companies working with social influencers to get messages out. There likely isn't a scenario she hasn't seen. Katie and I also happen to work on the same board as non-executive directors (@ one of Australia's leading community banks).

Welcome to Side Show Hustle where we'll be deconstructing world winning side hustles and the hustlers behind them. Our goal at the end of season 1 is to inspire you, motivate you, give you the tools to win and the boot in the pants to get you started. We hope that you really enjoy listening to our side hustlers - and remember to be respectful of all of our beautiful guests - they're opening the kimono on something that's almost never spoken about in our society and giving you an inside glimpse to the inner workings of successful side hustles, businesses and the people behind them. Season one - we've got a significant focus on women hustlers - they're under represented in the world of business, but it isn't for lack of a good idea or the motivation to succeed. Society has held male success in business as a beacon of inspiration and has shied away from women-led businesses out of fear, or maintaining the status quo. It's imperative we shine a light on the achievements of our great women - and I hope season one of Side Show Hustle goes a little way to inspiring our next generation of hustlers. We truly have an amazing cast of personalities joining the show - I don't always deliver on being the best - but you should assume I've tried to be the best that I can - I'm learning to work with the production crew, and how to manage the interviews - you'll likely see this in some episodes more than others and I hope you can forgive my incompetencies and find some inspiration in the stories being told. Sit down, pour a drink and buckle in - this is going to be epic. REMEMBER - hit the SUBSCRIBE button - the subscribe button is what tells advertisers and sponsors that you're listening - the more listeners the more value I can negotiate for you guys (yes that is right - I'm not making a cent out of this season and I'm asking advertisers and sponsors to deliver side hustlers the value to inspire you to start - maybe pay for a baby sitter so you can get some free time - I have no idea where this will go!) - the more subscribers, the more value we provide as a whole to our guests coming on which means we will continue to have amazing guests on... Celebrity Side Show Hustle isn't just a dream. Lastly - for any sponsorship or advertising opportunities - remember the listener comes first, do that, and we're all winning. matt@SideShowHustle.com www.SideShowHustle.com About Matt: http://www.sideshowhustle.com/matt-schmidt/
