Free and select, creates a key. We coda com, slash hustle, that is K. I w, I see dot com, slash hustle when I use the phrase, knowledge economy or when anybody that phrase, what does it mean? What does the knowledge economy refer to? In short, it refers to a system where society in which the production of goods and services

is based primarily upon knowledge, intensive activities. The can you can think of it as opposed to a man. Factoring economy or an agrarian society. Maybe a hunter and gather- society other we don't have time those left anymore, so the knowledge economy is all about whether people are working in careers or vacations, for companies or a striking out on their own either way, based on some specialised knowledge that they have acquired through education, training or experience. So in some ways, When I talk about the knowledge economy, it's not new, like it's been a couple of decades, at least since people have been going on about How globalization is gonna change the world and the rising tide of e commerce? I'd like it literally has been. Twenty years or more that replacement breathless over this, but at the same time it has actually changed the world. I mean that's what allows so many of these stories and examples that I tell you every day to happen or to take place in these days. There are countless mediums platforms networks, the social web. The

you to connect with people who have shared interests like all over the world. You know no matter how esoteric or specialise your interest is. You can find somebody else out there and has the same thing and that that used to be very limited. It used to be limited by geography, so I'll get things there but I can also feel a little overwhelming. Today's collar is looking for a clear path forward and the reality is that there isn't a single path. There are many, but I am hopeful that we can help her narrow down her auctions, perhaps centre in the right direction and maybe help other listeners wandering the same thing so welcome dishonest school.

Dot com, slashes, go, hi this is Christine from Vancouver, and I've been listening to side hustle school from the beginning, I'm wondering if you could share thoughts on the best way forward in the knowledge economy. It feels like a brave new world where individuals can sell information and training to other individuals without the traditional gatekeepers of corporations, and you Diversity is, but it also feels like there aren't any rules or clear path to follow. I think I know something I can teach a lot of people. How do I decide the best platform to do that and do I just start making an outline or is there more to it also, which do you think, is better for this: a podcast or Youtube Channel

looking forward to hearing from you and hope you visit us and Canada Stone. Thank you so much Christine, what's up Vancouver, British Columbia doesn't have to get back some point soon, all of Canada and olive elsewhere. You know the whole world but hold that thought for the moment. It is. A brave new world filled with many options. The knowledge economy has transformed, you know so much of society. It certainly changed my life, I'm pretty sure, to change yours too, even if you're completely new to all of this- and you know you ve, always been an employee. You listening to this conversation in a relatively new medium and of course I could go on and on about all the changes that globalization commerce etc have brought. But the thing is, I understand its overwhelming. So, broadly speaking, like the answer to Christine's question is: is kind of what I try to do every week here on the show every week, if not every day. So if something feels overwhelming like manner so much, I could do it. I don't know where to begin. My suggestion is just

on the specific examples, just focus on one story, you hear focused on one tapir, one idea: and you know don't worry about everything else, because you're not going to be able to keep up with everything like when people say. How do you keep up with everything? I'm like you, don't basically like trying to keep up, is a losing battle, so, for example, the collar last week was wondering about teaching aerial yoga online. Is there something that you can teach online? We and we had an update from a woman who created a course to help new parents returned to the workforce, so pretty clear market their market that definitely had a need was an authority and space having been an attorney who went on maternity leave and then found herself struggling a better get back to the worker, or so No, I need authority etc turns into a course. There are people who offer coaching since for online dating profiles. You know we ve had so many examples. I could just you know, list hundreds of them so much.

It is, as you listened to the stories and develop your power of observation, not a thing. I try to talk about an teach first decide on your topic like what is your thing? What's your area of knowledge and then consider the best ally for it, as opposed to thinking the other way around. Now it is possible in some cases to do it, the other way to say I am really into use no, but I'm really into Pinterest or twitter some network or something what is that thing I can do there. The challenge there is that you're kind of dependent on that platform, then poster saying like I am the expert in helping people return from maternity or paternity leave. I am the expert in aerial yoga because in the platform of the network's the mediums even can change, but you're still at expert. You still have something to do to communicate stopped. This is my suggestion: don't be overwhelmed if something feels overwhelmed focused on a specific example, one idea,

What's the one thing you can do and what is the one next step to get you closer to that? One thing part thanks again Christine and listeners. Thank you to your awesome.
