Oliver is officially on board! In this episode of Side Hustle and Son, we dive into Oliver’s decision to stay on as a podcast contributor and what it means for our family hustle. We debate the merits of giving Ollie a week off school to attend a major tech conference—a move that could shape his future and lead to side hustles as-yet-unknown.

With the wheels in motion, we set our ambitious financial goals for 2025, outlining how side hustles, tech-savvy strategies, and a little creativity can lead to big wins.
