This week on the Rideshare Rodeo podcast, I am playing an episode of another show I do that focuses on 'last mile courier' services. Next week, OG Rodeo episode, we are going to cover a lot... Do NOT miss it!
THE LAST MILE. Every Wednesday 4pm est/1pm pst. Come learn about all the last mile apps out there, and how you can earn more money than working the traditional rideshare and food delivery apps. This is an open forum show so everyone is welcome to join. We will be talking about Curri, Frayt, Amazon Flex, Roadie, Veho, and MANY other apps that fall into the 'last mile services' space.
This week on episode 8: Today Kae (@bossupwithkae) and I discuss the last mile van delivery space in Atlanta. We had a couple technical issues, but worked through them. We also discuss having all the possible income from multiple projects coming in.
