Overview This group of teachers who also love building home gyms talk about what got them into teaching and why they decided to jump into the world of home gyms. It turns out, teaching skills like staying organized, thinking outside the box, and calming things down come in handy when you're running a side hustle. They also dish on the tough parts of being a teacher and how sometimes, one job just doesn't cut it. The discussion gets real about offering discounts and how different professions cater to different customers. Overall, it's a conversation about the ups and downs of having a side hustle on top of teaching full-time. They talk about giving great customer service, building a home gym on a teacher's budget, and how to find that work-life balance between teaching and running a business. They even share their tips to avoid getting burned out and keep their side hustles going strong. The chat wraps up with them talking about HomeGymCon and what's on the horizon for the event.
