Side Hustle Saturday

Hosted by Side Hustle Saturday

Actionable advice and real stories for entrepreneurs—especially Black entrepreneurs—looking to turn a side hustle into a profitable business.

The brief

This is an interview-based business podcast that unpacks the specific strategies and systems behind successful ventures. Host Lisa Brown sits down with founders and CEOs to discuss everything from monetization and scaling to mindset and financial literacy. The conversations are practical, aiming to give listeners tangible steps and 'real talk' rather than just high-level inspiration.

Unlike broader business shows, Side Hustle Saturday has a clear focus on the 'how'—specific monetization models, delegation tactics, and financial habits. The host's conversational style and emphasis on featuring Black entrepreneurs create a focused, community-oriented feel.

How Side Hustle Saturday interviews

Lisa Brown's interview style is conversational and affirming. She often opens by sharing a personal anecdote about how she connected with the guest, establishing immediate rapport. She guides the conversation by paraphrasing the guest's previous statements to dig deeper or ensure clarity for the audience. Rather than aggressive pushback, she probes by asking for the 'click' moment, the specific process, or the lessons learned from mistakes. A recognizable feature is her use of a structured 'rapid-fire' segment to close out interviews, covering several key dichotomies (e.g., 'Revenue or profit?') to get a guest's definitive stance.

The show is structured as a one-on-one interview, often recorded on video. Host Lisa Brown builds a warm, conversational rapport, frequently sharing her own business experiences. A signature of the format is a 'rapid-fire' question segment near the end of each interview to get quick, direct takes on key topics.
