Scrappy Side Hustle vs. A Real Small Business
Episode 31
Friday, 18 April, 2025
Today we’re digging into a conversation that every maker, laser owner, and creative entrepreneur needs to hear — the difference between a scrappy side hustle and a real-deal small business. I’m your host, Alisha Pate, and James is here with me at the ranch as we break down the mindsets, the money, the misconceptions, and the messy middle of it all. Is personalizing a blank really worth what we charge? Dang right it is — and we’re going to tell you why. Spoiler alert: if you’re still treating your shop like a hobby, that may be exactly what’s holding you back. This episode is brought to you by our amazing sponsors: GS2 Awards & Trotec, Haotian Laser, and Phantom CNC — trusted names powering makers like you. Let’s talk shop — and let’s get real.
