#19: Transforming Your Side Hustle Into Your Career | Dexter Jensen, The Tint Guy

Hello everyone! Welcome back to The Owner's Journal Episode 19 with Dexter Jensen! In this episode, we explore Dexter's journey in turning a side hustle into a full-time tinting business and discuss the value of surrounding yourself with mentors and like-minded individuals.

One of our favorite topics to talk about is work/life balance, and Dexter has a unique and valuable perspective on the matter. If you've met Dex before or listened to him on another show, it's no surprise that he loves his work and spends a ton of time doing it. In this episode we deconstructed why people are so adamant about work/life balance, and how it can mean different things to different folks. (Shoot us a DM and let us know what you think!)

We also dove down another mentorship rabbit hole during our conversation, and Dexter hit us with a profound story that included some VERY expensive bottles of wine that he drank at a mentor's house, and how the next morning shifted his view on the importance of mentorship.

This episode is full of fun stories, impactful ways to think about business, and even dives into Dexter's future plans for franchising and expansion. We're super excited for you to take in some of the actionable advice and insights into business + personal growth that this (almost) two hour conversation has to offer.

Thank you for listening!🍊

Be where your feet are,
Drew & Klay 👣
