SideGig

Hey,

I'm Benji. I'm a startup founder, podcaster and someone who ❤️ tech.

"Try not to become a man of success—but rather a man of value" - Albert Einstein.

On this site, I share :

  • My journey as a startup founder and share the strategies, lessons learnt, and tools that help me live happier, healthier and more productive lives.
  • Tips, tricks, tools and lessons learnt to help individuals start a SideHustle without leaving their full-time job.

My curious mind has always driven me to explore and ask endless questions, leading me down an entrepreneurial path from a young age. I earned my first money in high school by writing class notes for students and have been hooked on creating and building ever since.

Some fun facts about me

  • I have worked in 19 different jobs over the last ten years.
  • I built my private radio station at the age of 12
  • 2 x Successful startup exits
  • Helped over 40+ founders globally to turn their ideas into reality
  • Failed 7+ startup ideas

I write "SideGig," a short weekly newsletter that shares actionable tips and tools for starting a side hustle without quitting your full-time job.

On this side, I also capture things I encounter in my journey to personal development. This includes the books I read, blogs, podcasts, actionable productivity hacks, self-care, quotes I'm pondering, smart tools and stories.
