Welcome to The Side Hustle Show. Yes, sir. Thank you, Nick. I appreciate it. Looking forward to

0:42.8

talking here. And me as well. Stick around in this one. You'll learn how Skyler landed his first

0:46.9

customers and cleaners. You got to play both sides of this, how he markets the business today,

1:45.6

expectations because I didn't ask the right questions. And now the money he paid me, he wants to take
