How My ‘Hobby’ Made $180K a Year — And Destroyed My Marriage | Tiny Podcaster
My woodworking passion started as a simple hobby but grew into a thriving business making over $180,000 a year. But when my family — especially my wife and her parents — refused to believe in my success, it tore us apart.
In this video, I share the emotional journey of turning a weekend hobby into a lucrative business, facing constant doubt and ridicule from loved ones, and ultimately choosing self-respect over toxic relationships.
If you’ve ever been underestimated or felt alone chasing your dreams, this story is for you.
