What if melting down after a failure was actually a good thing? Or doing what you love, as a side hustle, was the best way to do it? That's what we're talking about on today's episode. Good Life Riff: Today, we've got a special guest riff, featuring friend-of-the-pod, New York Times bestselling author, podcaster, world-traveler and entrepreneur, Chris Guillebeau. In his new book, Side Hustle, Guillebeau takes a contrarian view of entrepreneurship, arguing many of us are better off doing that thing that blends passion with money not as our day jobs, but on the side. He shares why, along with a few great case-studies, in today's riff. Grab a copy of Side Hustle, and check out his 100-city tour today! Good Life Science: And, in our Good Life Science segment, we're diving into some fascinating new research on how we respond to failure. Turns out, all those people who say, "hey, don't take it personally, don't get all emotional, just let it be a teaching moment and move on" may be giving you bad advice. A new study shows that responding emotionally to failure, instead of rationally, may just set you up to be more likely to succeed in a future endeavor. And, as always, for those want to go to the source, here's a link to the full study.

  • Hey, it's Jonathan with today's Good Life update.

  • And as usual, we blend together some fun segments to bring you interesting ideas, hopefully, and some cool science and maybe a little bit more as we move further into the fall.

  • Today we have kind of a fun thing.

  • We've got a guest riff to kick us off from my friend Chris Guillebow, who is the author of a great new book called side Hustle.

  • And he's actually going to kind of dive into one of the big myths about entrepreneurship and building something on the side.

  • And from there, I'm going to take over and we're going to dive into today's good life science update.

  • And this is kind of a really interesting, cool thing because it deals with being emotional after we fail.

  • And there's a bit of cool science that shows that it may just make sense to have a bit of a meltdown.

  • So that's where we're going on today's good Life project update.

  • Now turning it over to my friend Chris.

  • Have you heard that story about how you should quit your job and become an entrepreneur?

  • Maybe have a startup, maybe be a digital nomad, maybe risk it all for one of those stories of someone who tries 20 times in a row only to succeed on the 21st attempt?

  • Well, guess what?

  • The times are changing.

  • In fact, they may have already changed.

  • What if everything you've heard about that story is wrong?

  • What if there's a totally different way, a totally different approach for you to create more freedom and options for yourself without jumping off a cliff, without climbing out on a ledge, giving up your only source of income, or otherwise going it alone?

  • My name is Chris Gillibo.

  • For my whole life, I have worked for myself.

  • In fact, I say that I'm unemployable.
