Your First Revenue Stream Outside Corporate (with Lee Ann Pepper)

We’re launching a new recurring segment with Lee Ann Pepper focused on real-world revenue ideas for corporate escapees.

If you’ve ever asked yourself, “How would I actually make money if I left corporate?” this episode is for you.

Lee Ann and I break down practical, low-risk ways GenXers can start monetizing today—without swinging for six-figure fences or waiting years to replace a corporate paycheck.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How User-Generated Content (UGC) works and why it’s perfect for GenXers who don’t want to be influencers.

• The new inventory-free e-commerce model that lets you launch products without warehouses or Amazon risk.

• Why the Connector Model (introductions + network leverage) is a hidden path to retainer + commission income.

• How to get paid for hiring advisory—helping SMBs make better hires using your experience.

• Why small, repeatable service retainers often add up faster than chasing one big consulting deal.

• The mindset shift from swinging for home runs to stacking singles for steady cash flow.

Enjoy and let us know what you think!
