America’s Creative Revolution- Jasmin Rhia

Farming God

I recently left my job to work on the Farming god podcast and farminggod.org full time. I have to admit, it’s a ridiculous leap. But it’s a risk that today’s guest is very familiar with.

Too often spirituality gets quarantined in a small corner of our life, reserved for only specific moments. What if this wasn’t the case and our daily work could be an adventure in itself? Today I’m speaking with someone who embodies exactly this. Jasmin Rhia is a leader in America’s creative revolution. She runs the website, “I’d rather be rich not famous (https://idratherberichnotfamous.com)," dedicated to providing motivated individuals with tools to monetize their greatest passions. After speaking with her at South by Southwest, it’s obvious that the richness she discusses extends far beyond monetary wealth. Unedited, I turned on the recorder and let it roll. From the frontlines of the freelance lifestyle, Jasmine Rhia.

We discuss:

• What are we talking about when we talk about spirituality.
• Transition from 9-5. To independent projects.
• Set schedule to setting your own.
• Jasmine’s 62 side hustles
• 21st century gig economy. How it’s different from our parents generation.
• Listening to advice
• Getting comfortable with the same group of friends vs. spontaneity.
• Challenges that come with freelancing.
• Finding a balance and staying grounded
• The inherent privilege that we (especially me) are benefactors of. (I think Jasmine was a little soft on my white privilege but we’ll come back to this later)
