Super proud of kids & husband with yesterday’s #NoKings protest.

They went from being reluctant back in May to ready to go for Oct! Husband bought flags & my daughter designed a sign!

My kids are alright…

There are definitely differences between Good Fortune and Side Hustle Safety Net.
There’s no angel in my book.

But the themes of polyemployment and outsourcing of risk? ✅✅

And I’m listed before Judd Apatow in the credits.

Hustle and Gig might have gotten optioned.

But Side Hustle Safety Net got me into a premiere!

Super excited to see gig work on the big screen in Aziz Ansari’s Good Fortune!

Super excited to see Porchlight Books highlight Side Hustle Safety Net as a recommended read!

Last week Side Hustle Safety Net was a top read in Unemployment—now it’s also a top read in Labor & Industrial Economic Relations!

Today is pub day for Side Hustle Safety Net: How Vulnerable Workers Survive Precarious Times!

Side Hustle is the story of what the most vulnerable wage earners—gig workers, restaurant staff, early-career creatives, and minimum-wage laborers—do when the economy suddenly collapses.
