Show Notes
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!
