Podcast Summary: Privacy and Freedom PodcastEpisode 4: Side Hustles that Survive Recessions
Welcome back to the Privacy and Freedom Podcast! In this powerful episode, we dive deep into why tough times are on the horizon—and what you can do to thrive, not just survive.
The U.S. economy shrank by 0.2% this year, and layoffs are happening across big companies like Walmart, Morgan Stanley, and Pfizer. Factories are producing less, trade tensions are heating up, and prices remain stubbornly high. With interest rates at 4.25%–4.5%, borrowing is expensive, and the government’s debt has ballooned to a staggering $36.8 trillion—worse than the national economy’s annual output.
It’s not just numbers: it’s real people facing job losses and financial stress. That’s why I’m sharing practical ways to get ready. We talk about turning your skills into income through home-based businesses, online freelancing, digital courses, or even crypto staking. Whether it’s tutoring, affiliate marketing, or learning Google Ads, there are so many ways to make money from home—without a big investment.
But it’s not just about making more money—it’s about keeping it. We cover paying down debt, building an emergency fund, and investing in hard assets like gold and even copper pennies. And don’t forget crypto—own your private keys and diversify your portfolio to protect your wealth.
I also highlight preparedness strategies like building community networks, learning new skills, and following biblical principles of stewardship, generosity, and wise planning.
