This is The Top, where I interview entrepreneurs who are number one or number two in their industry in terms of revenue or customer base. You'll learn how much revenue they're making, what their marketing funnel looks like, and how many customers they have.

Okay, Top Tribe, remember, every Monday I give one of you a hundred bucks to invest in your idea to help get it to the top. To enter, subscribe to the podcast on iTunes now and then text the word Nathan to 33444 to prove it. Again, that's Nathan to 33444 to prove it.

Chapter 5: How does community building impact the success of rideshare-related businesses?
He's doing between 100 and 500K per year. He's a blogger, author, and influencer, building his business listening to the top. Good morning, Top Tribe. Hope you're New Year's again. It's off to a great start. I'm sitting here with my tea, cuddled up, excited for you guys to talk to a gentleman who hustled his way onto the show by tweeting at me on Twitter.
His name is Harry Campbell, and he's a founder and CEO of The Rideshare Guy, one of the top blog and podcasts for rideshare drivers across the world. Before Harry became a full-time blogger, he worked as an aerospace engineer for six years, but his entrepreneurial calling proved to be too great. Harry, are you ready to take us to the top? I'm ready. Let's do it. So you have hustle. You have grit.
Chapter 6: What strategies can rideshare drivers use to maximize their earnings?
You tweeted me on Twitter that you are loving the show. Which episode is your favorite?
Um, I think, uh, the most recent one that you did actually, I listened to with, uh, what was it? It was a young lady who like started a business and she was doing like handyman repairs and stuff like that. That was kind of cool. Cause it was kind of like similar to some of the stuff I'm doing with like on demand handyman repairs. So that was pretty cool.
She, She is an amazing lady. She basically quit corporate and built this business where she... Again, her name is Liz Picarazian.
Chapter 7: What challenges do rideshare drivers face in terms of expenses and income variability?
It's episode 146. Left six-figure thing at American Express and now is running a handyman business. So it's great.
Yeah. And the other one that I really liked too that was kind of a little... For a different reason is because you really grilled the guest.
Chapter 8: What role does technology play in the future of the rideshare industry?
And I like that because you don't often hear that was the Apple Watch band guy. Yeah. Yeah. You know, you guys really, you know, you weren't, you didn't, you didn't toss them like a bunch of softball questions. You really got into like the nitty gritty and help. I think you helped them out too. So.
Well, the show, Harry, as you know, is doing so, so well. Fastest growing business podcast ever on iTunes. And I think it's because I have these conversations like I would do it if I was just having a one-on-one conversation. If I don't believe in something, I'm going to grill you on it.
If, if I don't think, you know, your revenue numbers like Tai Lopez in episode 45, I'm going to go for the jugular and, If I think you're a superstar genius, I'm going to say you're a superstar genius. So Harry, welcome to the show, man. I'm glad you're here. Yeah. I'm excited and a little nervous. So let's do it. So aerospace engineer to the rideshare guy.
Help people first understand what you gave up. What was your salary as an aerospace engineer?
I was right about $80,000. So probably like a typical mid-level kind of junior engineer. I mean, obviously, plus benefits and bonus and all the... I worked for Boeing. So it was one of these top aerospace companies, plus all the matching. So I mean, total compensation was probably well over six figures. And just more so... I think what I gave up was just the security.
I mean, I probably could have worked at that job for the rest of my life and, you know, been mildly happy because it wasn't the worst job in the world, but it wasn't my favorite thing either. And how old are you? I'm 28 right now. Any kids? Are you single, married? I'm married, but no kids yet. But, you know, maybe soon. And what does she do? My wife is actually in med school.
So she's a third year med student here in Southern California.
Okay, that's helpful. Good. So that gives us some context. So how did you go from aerospace engineering to the ride-sharing economy?
Well, so I actually... I've been doing a couple of hobby blogs here and there. And I had some in the personal finance space. And I was doing some freelance writing over the past few years. But it was always more of a hobby than anything. And I saw the potential, but I was really just waiting for the right opportunity and something that I was also passionate about.
