I have really enjoyed watching Shannon’s journey as she went from side hustle to full-time employment in her own business. The show is very open and honest. Her income reports take you behind the scenes in ways most other business says won’t. I am so grateful for the insight.

I am so happy to have stumbled upon this podcast. I am not a web designer but I AM a new entrepreneur in the online business world and Shannon’s podcast episodes are so honest and inspiring. She keeps me going and I always scroll through the episodes to find a title that fits when I need some inspiration.

Shannon’s podcast is one of my faves because she’s so genuine about what she’s going through and also brings in fabulous guests. You can count on her to ask insightful questions. I also love her monthly income report where she shares how her month has gone - ups and downs. As a Virtual CFO, I love that she does this because it’s HELPFUL to hear other’s experiences to learn from. Cheering you on, Shannon! Joyfully, Christie Varner VICTORY Advisory Services

Thank you Shannon. Finally I’m able to listen to your podcasts. Thank you for being there for me.

Love your podcasts and help in building my website! I’m so happy I found you and your resources. Melissa Garcia EducatingJacob

I found Shannon’s podcast this morning after watching her summit, and I’ve been enjoying a Shannon marathon all day! One of my pet peeves with podcast hosts is when they answer with “oh I love that” after every guest comment. Shannon does not do this - - she has a thoughtful reply or an additional interesting nugget, which shows me she’s totally engaged and curious about her guests. I see a lot of future binge days ahead of me. Thank you, Shannon!

I only started listening to podcast recently and found you somehow through Kelli for workingmomcollective. Great content! And love your story! Perfect for all who want to really understand what it takes to start and build a business! Hard work and Connections

Shannon has guests from all walks of life and from such varying industries that I’m always finding a nugget or 20 to keep me motivated in my own entrepreneurial journey. She and her multitude of guests share both the mind work and the physical work it takes to build the business that fits your life and increases your revenue.

I love Shannon’s emphasis on success stories, strategies and actionable advice. Plus, she interviews a great range of guests. The conversations about turning side gigs into a full time, fulfilling, and lucrative careers are so important. Those second two words are what we need!

Love Shannon and all her material ! I’ve built two websites with Shannon and will be joining her marketing lab. Each and every podcast is true inspiration! Thank you for the motivation and tools! You are a gem!

So much info and inspiration is found in each episode that I've listened to many multiple times. Shannon's a great interviewer and really dives down into the finer points and ideas that are being explored and this has helped me with my own entrepreneurial journey. I've done Shannon's 5 day Website challenge and Jumpstart Your Website Traffic mini-course and am now in her Website Marketing Lab, Shannon speaks in a clear voice, she's practicle, realistic and teaches/guides in a way that leaves no stone unturned, I'm never left wondering how or why I'm doing something. This has helped me move my business to the next level :)

Thank you for sharing your stories and being so transparent about your experiences! Keep up the great work!!!

Shannon is a great interviewer, the conversations are both interesting and full of information I can use in my business. I did her 5 Day Website Challenge in 2015, and have been so inspired watching her go from side hustler to full time entrepreneur. This podcast reflects how she did that and inspires me to believe I can do the same

Shannon really digs deep into her guests to find out what they are doing to build their side hustles and eventually turn them into a full time job. This podcast has helped bring me so much clarity and inspiration for how to better grow and build my own business. If you haven’t hit subscribe on this podcast just yet you should because every episode has the potential to spark a fire under you that you didn’t realize you needed!

I am loving listening to these real side hustlers and how they have built their businesses. I listen to a lot of podcasts but some try to only interview “large” businesses. I enjoy hearing from medium size businesses that are on their way up because they still have actionable tips for people just starting out.

Sharron is beyond generous with her information. EVERYTHING she has shared has been super informative, inspiring and real-no fluff or ridiculous promises. I love this podcast and am so happy I discovered it. Thank you Shannon!!!

If you’re starting your own business and want tips along the way - listen go this! I love Shannon’s honesty and all her tips. Her guests are fun and informative! Definitely a must listen to for me!

Shannon and her incredible guests shine the brightest of lights on what it means to create a sustainable side hustle that grows and works for you! Engaging, inspiring, and educational are just a few of the words I’d use to describe the time you’ll spend with them. Thanks so much for putting out such a spectacular show Shannon - keep up the great work!

I love Shannen’s podcast. It’s full of helpful and actionable tips for growing a business or side hustle. Her podcast is one of my favorite parts of running errands because I’m always devouring her episodes in the car!

Shannon keeps it real! The best thing about this podcast is that Shannon doesn't put on airs about how much she knows or what her life as an entreprenuer is like. She shares the struggles and wins and you feel like you have a realistic idea of what it's like to own your own business. If you want to get actionable advice for real people (both from her and her guests) this is the podcast to listen to. I hear so much of myself in what she says that I ususally take an action in my own business right after listening to one of her episodes.

Shannon is passionate about sharing her experience with side hustling and brings on guest who complement her style. It's an easy and inspiring listen, and you'll learn a lot in the process.

Shannon is a very real and genuine person who will honestly tell you about her ups and downs in her business and help you through yours, too. She's very transparent about what she does and why she does it, how much money she makes, etc. Her 5 Day Website Challenge is awesome because she so freely shares what she knows and shows you easy, step-by-step instructions to create your own website. How much she is willing to help out and give away for free convinced me that she truly cares about helping people, and her paid programs are worth it too. Listening to her stories on this podcast just further shows me that she's an awesome, sincere person who wants to and does help people succeed.

Shannon's style of teaching is above par. She is thorough, easy to understand, breaks down the technical terms into words and concepts that are digestible and comprehensible. My website and therefore business is popping to the next level in large part because of Shannon's expertise and guidance via both her free resources and very reasonably priced stand alone courses and programs. She is my go-to resource for ALL things Wordpress, marketing, and website development related. Thank you Shannon! ~Katie O'Grady of Los O'Gradys in Mexico

Shannon is so inspiring and so authentic. I first met Shannon through her free course, 5-day Website Challenge. She taught me how to build a website. Shannon delivers great value in everything she does. In this podcast she delivers great practical wisdom from her own experience. Love you, Shannon!

Shannon is absolutely amazing at what she does. I started listening to the podcast in August 2018 after deciding that I wanted to take my blogging to the next level. Shannon provides so much step-by-step actionable advice on the podcast, and makes you feel confident that you can build your side hustle while working a full time job. Since Shannon’s story was that she ran her side hustle for 3+ years before finally breaking off and making it a FT job, I can relate so much. She has provided so many great steps to make my blog and website better than I imagined it could be. Also she has some great “How to start a podcast” episodes- which give me hope I can start my own one day. Love, love love this podcast and all that Shannon provides to her audience!

Shannon is the best!! Real, genuine and willing to be vulnerable and teach from her own experiences and her heart. I always learn something new and feel inspired after listening. She’s been there. She’s done that. And she wants everyone she serves to succeed.

Shannon has such valuable advice for anyone with an online business (or brick and mortar) looking for ways to grow their email list, learn marketing and all around general advice on how to scale and grow.

I really needed this episode on getting out of inaction and distraction. It is especially meaningful from someone who is so good at getting results. I typically use chocolate when I’m all in my head about inadequacy. I’ll try your way - to sit with my feelings instead to help me out of those feelings and move me back toward action.

All of Shannon’s episodes are easy to consume and full of valuable (and actionable) insights & information to move your business forward. This podcast is one add to your favorites!

Shannon has such an amazing way of connecting with entrepreneurs on their level with real actionable advice. Love that they are short and to the point episodes. Every entrepreneur needs to try this podcast out!

Shannon's information for those of us in the hustle is very inspiring and does indeed give me the pep needed to continue. Great listen and will reccommend to my other "side hustlers."

Pep Talks for Side Hustlers is a university on wheels. If you're in business now or are considering a side gig, or even looking for hacks to help in your career, this podcast is for you. Check it out!

I have known about Shannon and her WP-BFF business for a long time but just heard about this great podcast she is doing. She's a natural communicator that delivers valuable content for business and life. Keep up the good work!

Love all the tips that Shannon gives in her episodes - super beneficial & motivating for anyone working on a side hustle! Definitely recommend!

Shannon's 5 Day Website Challenge is the reason I'm about to have a blog website set up for monetization. I appreciate her personable approach, too! I look forward to learning more from her! :)

Shannon Mattern is very tech savvy, and she has helped so many people, including me, to build their own websites and to handle technical functions we never dared chnically-inclined, she never makes me feel dumb for asking any of my questions. Thank you, Shannon, for your pep talks and for all your help and support.

Shannon has a wonderful and humble way of sharing her knowledge that makes listening to this podcast feel motivational every single time. I haven’t listened to an episode I didn’t enjoy!

As I continue to develop my own business, I look forward to hearing Shannon’s motivating and educational podcast each morning while on my exercise bike. I had previously learned how to build my own website from her amazing free 5-day challenge, impressed with how confident, genuine and pleasant her teaching style was. Now she brings the same to her podcast, freely and candidly sharing her experience and practical advice for the success of your side hustle. I’ve lost track of how many inspiring ah-ha! moments I’ve had while listening and peddling. I listen to three different podcasts daily, always starting with Shannon’s because hers is simply the best. Thank you Shannon Mattern!

I look forward to hearing Shannon’s pep talk on Alexa every morning, not only because she offers concrete encouragement to struggling solopruneurs but also because she offers genuine suggestions. Her honest advice is that of a friend. You may not want to hear it, but she is going to tell you anyway. She truly wants to help people succeed and that comes through in her podcasts, Facebook groups, webinars and free tutorials.

I love this woman's stuff. Direct, easy to digest and more importantly - to apply. Not a bad podcast in the lot!

Just found this podcast and love how she packs all the info you need into these bite size episodes!! Shannon seems so sweet, knowledgale and inspirational. Keep them coming!!

Shannon's awesome pep talks are filled with good tips, motivating words and inspiring stories. This show is the perfect side hustler companion and... who on Earth wouldn't love to get these pep talks from someone with such a nice and sweet voice like Shannon's?
