Using A Side Hustle To Leave Your Job & Life As A Solopreneur | Ash Read - EP 13

Ash read is what people now call a solopreneur.

This is someone who sets up and runs their own business. But does it on their own. He now runs a publication company called 937 media, which has really taken off.

But he's only been full time on 937 media since the end of last year. You see, he started it back in 2020 as a side hustle while still doing his full time job and it was only in November 2022 (when he was making more money from 937 than he was from his full time job) that he decided to leave and go full time.

On the episode we talk about.

• Why he didn't go to Uni.
• His 10+ years working in content and what he loved about that.
• How to use cold dms and emails to land a job you love.
• His framework for making career decisions (that ones right at the end)
• How to start a side hustle while still working your main job.
• What an online publication company is and how he has built it to be so successful.
• How he learned to start putting himself ahead of his work and the benefits that has brought him.
• How to decide when to leave and go full time on your own thing.

I try to chat with people who have live life love. People who have been conscious about building this life from themselves, learning how they figured out what they wanted, and also how they made that a reality.

Ash ticks all these boxes.

This was a fascinating conversation and I hope you enjoy it as much as a I did.
