Step Five towards Unstupidity: Making your side hustle, your main hustle. Today's episode brings us full circle, as armed with all the knowledge we have so far, we are now ready to take the plunge. Or are we? What plunge again are we talking about? Let me let you on, onto a little secret. So far on Stupid No Mor we've spoken about various topics that as adults we throw around very frivolously, but really don't know too well. Together we've learnt how to become more creative, know about privacy invasion, know what and who to listen to, introspect about humour. It's action time. It's time to put all that we've learnt to build something that you've always dreamed off. Today's episode is about taking that first step towards it. It's a marker of success of the journey we've been on so far, and more importantly it's for you, me and all of us here to remember the reason we do what we do.  Credits: Podcast-  Host: Anshu Mor  Guest: Gaurav Kapoor  Producer: Abbas Momin  Editor: Vijay Doiphode  Supervisor and content direction: Pranika Borkar  Artwork: Ashmita Meghrajani  Kommune track-  Voice: Roshan Abbas  Music: A Very Brady Special by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/5760-a-very-brady-special License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Producer- Kommune http://kommuneity.com
