My mother-in-law's side hustle made $1M selling pillows?!?

How do you create a multimillion dollar business starting with only $10,000 without having much of a plan, without doing a lot of research, without even knowing how to use Shopify, or, basically, you had to learn the Internet from scratch? Well, we have talked about this a little bit on this podcast, but I finally wanted to do an episode with a very special person, my mother-in-law. So about five years ago, my mother-in-law sat me down. She goes, Sam, I have this idea for a business. I wanna start this pillow company. Can you teach me how to do it? I gave the most generic advice ever on how to do it, not expecting her to do anything. Turns out she listened and she Googled and found actually significantly better advice, and she built a company that is now making millions a year in revenue. She started it in her early fifties, and it's killing it. And after years of just kinda quietly chugging along and building this epic business, I asked my mother-in-law, Smithee Sodine, to come on the pod and give her story. If you are in your thirties, forties, or fifties, and you are thinking about starting a business and you're sort of overthinking, you're not sure what to do, or even if you're in your twenties and you wanna figure out how to change your life, this is probably the most relatable and, I think, inspirational episodes that we have ever done.

Smithee, do you even listen to the podcast? I do. I do, listen to some episodes. Alright. So the story is this. Basically, you came over, in your early teens as an immigrant. You had some kids, and you're a stay at home mom. And then the kids grew up and you were like, well, I'm not really sure what to do next. And so you kind of were, like, trying a bunch of different stuff. I think at one point, you got your real estate license and you did something a lot of people want or they think about. They think, like, I wanna start something. I wanna, like, do something. And you thought about it for a couple years, I think. And then all of a sudden, we had a conversation, and you basically told me what you were going to do. And I wasn't sure if I even believed that you were going to do it. But, basically, you were like, I'm gonna start a pillow business. You had done zero research. You didn't do any market research. And then all of a sudden, two weeks later, you have this online store. And before I know it, you had a bunch of sales. And now after doing this for six years, you've …
