191: Why a Side Hustle Gets You Noticed at Work
So what makes someone get noticed at work?
If you’re doing good work, showing up, and delivering results, you’d think that would be enough! But often, it’s not. And this is where side hustles come in, because what you do outside your job can start to change how you’re viewed at work.
Today you’ll hear how Roger Smith’s side hustles changed the trajectory of his career.
Roger is a computer scientist who went on to become Chief Technology Officer for the U.S. Army, worked inside a surgical training center, and now consults in robotic surgery.
As he explains, none of that came from applying for jobs in the traditional way. He started to get noticed and stand out from his peers because of what he was doing on the side.
I first sat down with Roger a couple of years ago, and for this episode, I pulled key excerpts from that conversation that show how it all came together.
In this episode:
- How a side hustle can lead to unexpected opportunities
- Why you don’t need to have everything figured out to start
- One way to stand out without changing jobs
