Next Big Idea Club
Where thought leaders converge, where ideas transform into action, and where books become a gateway to a brighter future
The Next Big Idea Daily newsletter?(SUBSCRIBE)?is written by me,?Michael Kovnat, and gathers insights from today’s leading non-fiction authors. It’s a companion to our?Next Big Idea Daily?podcast, available on?Apple?or?Spotify.
Last week saw the publication of Gonzo Capitalism: How to Make Money in An Economy That Hates You by Chris Guillebeau . Chris has been on our radar for quite a while here at the Next Big Idea Club and maybe he's been on your radar, too. He specializes in an unconventional brand of career advice, in which making a living can seem like one of life's great adventures. He's done this in books like The Happiness of Pursuit and the $100 Startup and on his podcast Side Hustle School.
In his latest, Chris argues that the modern U.S. economy "hates you" in the sense that it's not offering up the kind of secure, lifelong careers that earlier generations enjoyed. You're more or less on your own, which can be scary. But on the upside, Chris points to a variety of ways you can take advantage of what he calls the "money revolution." In a world where people get paid to play video games, take their clothes off online, or trade imaginary coins, your own opportunities for earning income are limited by little other than your imagination.
Hear Chris Guillebeau explain how you can turn your hobbies into cash.
