Digital Trades School, co-founder. Freelance consulting, coaching &amp; workshop delivery.Jeff is a former English &amp; ESL teacher. He left the traditional workplace of the past in 2012 in pursuit of more autonomy, meaning &amp; money through side hustling. He spent the first 2.5 years of that journey doing pretty much nothing but failing. Making mistakes. Falling down. Trying to get back up. He had a romanticized view of what entrepreneurship was all about - the realities of getting started were a serious test of humility, grit &amp; adaptability. He learned that those are the prerequisites to taking your side hustle from idea to launch. It’s those human skills that will get you through the inevitable early challenges of starting &amp; growing a side hustle.Today, Jeff is pursuing those currencies that matter most to him through a portfolio approach to his professional life. He is growing an adaptable portfolio of work through side hustling that currently includes coaching, consulting &amp; training through his sole proprietorship, being a partner and head of training with the Digital Trades School, and leading Side Hustle Courses &amp; Partnerships with The Maker’s Collective.Lacey Heels, Co-Founder of the Maker’s Collective, Marketing Consultant &amp; Business CoachLacey is a marketing strategist, brand &amp; business coach, online educator, commercial artist and podcaster.
