Turn Your Side Hustle Into a $100,000/Month Business: Here’s How
A Shopify Masters interview in which the host talks with Julie Brown, co-founder with Jeremy Watt of Province of Canada, a bootstrapped Canadian lifestyle brand making hoodies and caps in Canada. Brown describes starting with 1,500 dollars as a side hustle alongside their design business, how Shopify let them sell online, a near-bankrupt moment followed by their first 100,000 dollar month, running paid ads for the first time, and growing the team to 22. Sponsor: Shopify, which presents the show (a free Shopify trial is linked in the description). PARTIAL COVERAGE: this note is based on the opening, a section on Shopify and the side hustle, a section on the low point and first 100,000 month, the closing and the description, and does not cover every exchange in the roughly 34 minute interview. All numbers and views are the speakers' own claims and are not independently checked. This is a brand story, not financial or legal advice.
