Hey, this is Teresa- I misquoted my story about Will Smith- he bungee-jumped from a helicopter... not parachute from a plane!  Anywho, everything we talked about Will going through can be seen in his video:

And our apologies for the major laugh-fest in the beginning!!  We think we're hilarious...  but in the spirit of fear and failure unfiltered, we decided to post a not so flawless episode.

Gettin' "Giggy" with It! 5 Tips to Glam Up Your Gig

Gettin' "Giggy" with It! 5 Tips to Glam Up Your Gig

Have you been kinda-sorta running a job on the side for a little extra pocket money?  Or running a pretty good side hustle, but now you want to see how far you can take it? Or maybe you have something you are passionate about and you just don't know where to even begin to start making money from it.  Join Teresa and Lela, 2 ladies who have built their businesses starting from being stay-at-home-moms with pressing bills and the urge to do and be something "more" for themselves and their families.  And, after some time experimenting, googling and pushing buttons as long as something doesn't break... they find themselves at the beginning of full-time careers.  Baffled, they looked to each other and asked... what did we do?  And decided to open up that conversation to the communities of people around them who are also asking, how can we do it???  Join that conversation in their podcast: A Girl and A Gig: Helping YOU navigate the gig economy.


In episode 1, no time is wasted.  We (Lela and Teresa) want to help you right now!  We get "giggy" (eye-roll... the term was Lela's idea!)  by sharing 5 tips that we think were key factors in our success in making a full-time living from our gigs.  

You'll learn what the heck a gig even is, share in our enthusiasm for making IT happen, and come away with clear action steps to take until our next episode: all about dealing with fear... which I'm sure will have a flashier title by the time we release it!
