Q All right. Well, I really liked this strategy. I'm seeing a lot more people do it online with AI tools. You can do so much now as just one person. And I think it's especially starting to work and catch on more now, before we get into all that, I do want to understand a little bit more about your background. How do you get to this point?
A Yeah. I learned how to code during high school and got into freelancing. This is how I made my first dollar online. Then I continued freelancing through college. And after I got married for stability, I decided to try a full-time job as a developer. I did that for two years, but to be honest, I felt like I was wasting my potential in a corporate job. So in 2019, I quit and went all in building my own things online, doing whatever it takes to succeed and be free. Over time, this turned into a portfolio mindset. Instead of betting everything on one big idea, I built multiple smaller projects that could support each other, And generate income, even when I wasn't actively working on them.

Q people watching this have heard of Peter Levels. Or Mark Liu. They've obviously pioneered this. But also, there's a lot of people online that say, no, this is scatterbrain. Focus on one thing and one thing only. I'm curious what your experience has been in this. How do you get to the point where you have a bunch of different sources of income, and why does it work for you?
A Yeah, I didn't start out thinking that I want to build a dozen of projects. Early on, I was obsessed with finding the right idea that will change everything. Every time something didn't work fast enough, though, I felt like I failed. And over time, I realized two things. One is that most projects fail, not because they're bad or you're bad, but because their timing, distribution, or the market is not right. And secondly, placing all your bets on one idea is very risky, both emotionally and financially. This can quickly lead to burnout, which happened to me many times. So I shift how I think. Instead of trying to build one perfect business, I started building an income portfolio. Smaller projects, Which comes with less pressure. Some projects were about learning. Some were about making money. Some were about growing an audience. Some failed, but that was fine because the portfolio didn't depend on one single project. Over time, this project started compounding. Content got attention, and then attention made products easier to sell. Products created leverage, and that's how I ended up with multiple income streams instead of having one single fragile bet. It's very similar to investing. You don't put all the money into one stock. But instead you spread your investments over hundreds or even thousands of stocks through index funds or ETFs. So I stopped putting all my time into one …
