Anyone interested in growing their "side hustle" into a viable business may find Side Hustle Pro engaging. The business podcast is about making a mini business or part-time project profitable. It also addresses the challenges people of color and women face in business. While there have been improvements in gender and race equality, there are still gaps. Black women entrepreneurs often experience unique obstacles in the business world. On the podcast, successful entrepreneurs share their origin stories with the host.
Nicaila Matthews Okome hosts the Side Hustle Pro podcast. Nicaila studied business and marketing at the University of Michigan. She had to regroup when an internship at Google didn't materialize into a full-time job. For Nicaila, this meant breaking a mindset some people of color have about business. There is a notion that business is the domain of the white and privileged. For years, entrepreneurship and business were the exclusive domain of white males. Nicaila had to overcome imposter syndrome to build a successful consulting business. She had to squash the feeling of insecurity that's often a barrier to people with potential. The podcast host shares her struggles with this and her eventual breakthrough.

Ehime Eigbe of SweetKiwi and Lisa Price of Carol's Daughter have both been guests on the podcast. Other guests include voice actor and entrepreneur Cat Peoples.
