I’m Not Out of the 9 to 5 Yet

For years, I tailgated at Alabama football games — good food, cold drinks, and music blasting. One night during a Bama vs. LSU game, we had 400 people doing the Cupid Shuffle in the parking lot. 

That same year, I went to six weddings. Five DJs were awful. One was decent. I kept thinking, I could do way better than this. So I did. 

I invested $800 in equipment and launched my DJ side hustle. That business is still growing in 2025 — and it helped fund some pretty amazing memories. 

I know what it’s like to be stuck. I wanted more income, more freedom, and more options for my family.
But I didn’t want more fluff.

When I looked for help starting a side hustle, all I found were vague YouTube gurus and books full of buzzwords, not steps. So I wrote the book I needed:
-How to Find Your Side Hustle — a practical guide that’s now got over 80 five-star reviews.
-Firewatch Business grew from that same place — a mission to help people like you find a real, doable side hustle and create a way out of your 9 to 5. 

I work with guys who are mid-career and mid-burnout — guys who are tired of trading time for money with nothing left at the end of the month.

You want something that works. Something that pays. Something that gets you closer to freedom.

I won’t just cheer you on. I’ll hold you accountable. I’ll help you build a step-by-step plan and push you to follow through — because action is what creates results. 

Here’s what this has made possible for me:

• DJing weddings most weekends (and getting paid well to do it)
   
• Visiting my daughter in Italy — twice last year
   
• Helping my wife do something for herself that made her feel amazing
