Evelyn Ngugi is a Kenyan-American YouTube sensation literally blowing up the internet right now, and she can even count Beyoncé (yes, Queen Bey) among her fans (but we’ll get into that story on the episode). What’s it like to amass a huge following on YouTube and Facebook organically while you’re still figuring out your long term plan? On today’s episode, Evelyn shares how she balances being a popular YouTube and social media sensation with a regular 9to5 just like you and me. She is an example that even with a growing side hustle, we're all still just figuring it out as we go, and that’s OK.

On this episode we discuss:

• Evelyn's “system” for developing and publishing content
• How she’s grown her brand organically, without actively trying
• What it’s like to have your work singled out by Beyoncé herself!
• Why monetizing content on the internet is easy, but monetizing in a way that is sustainable is a different ball game
• Why it’s important to differentiate what you enjoy doing and want to make money from, and what you actually want to do for a full-time job
• Why you should get out there and explore your gift, even when you don’t have it all figured out

A rejection from Google was the best thing that ever happened to me. Two years ago I was an MBA intern at Google. I didn’t get the offer. Dejected, I refused to talk about it, unsure of how to unpack the experience. On today’s episode I’m sharing why that experience, along with other “rejections” were really blessings that positively fueled my side hustle mission. Here are just a few nuggets from this episode:

• Google’s ‘No’ led me to my ultimate purpose: inspiring people to live unboxed and without apologies
• Failure is an event, not a personality trait
• Failure taught me to stop waiting to be chosen and instead choose myself
• Everyone should start a side hustle, even if you don’t want to be a full-time entrepreneur

Her insights have been featured in Refinery 29, Black Enterprise, Cosmo for Latinas, The Miami Herald, PR Daily, and The Huffington Post. Most notably, Forbes named her site one of the top career websites in 2013.
