💼 Everyone seems to have a side hustle these days, from candle-making to consulting, but very few people talk about what it really takes. This week, Emteaz sits down with small business strategist Kasia Nowak to separate the glossy "passive income" fantasy from the real, sometimes messy, work of building a second income. 🚀 You'll hear how to test an idea cheaply, price your work, protect your time, and know when to grow or stop.

🎙️ A friend who works in finance told me she now has a whole routine down to the minute, badge in by nine, grab coffee, say hi to three specific people, leave by ten-fifteen, and nobody has ever once questioned it. Host Emteaz Shakib sits down with workplace policy researcher Dr. Simran Kaur to unpack "coffee badging," employees technically complying with return-to-office mandates while barely actually being present, why it's spreading so quickly, and what it reveals about the real gap between policy and genuine buy-in. 💡 They trade honest stories and one respectful disagreement about whether coffee badging is a clever, fair workaround or a quiet form of dishonesty that undermines trust either way. 🔥 If your office has started feeling strangely empty despite everyone technically badging in, this episode explains exactly why. #TheNewYorkShow #CoffeeBadging #ReturnToOffice #WorkCulture #HybridWork
