56. Excelling in Academia + Business & Dealing with Twitter Trolls with Dr. Ramon Goings

Nov 1, 2021

On episode 56 of The Side Hustle Club Podcast, we have Dr. Ramon Goings with us to talk about how he has built a thriving business on top of his academic career, being a father, and so much more.

Dr. Ramon Goings is an award-winning researcher and founder of The Done Dissertation, a dissertation consulting firm that helps doctoral students and doctoral programs break down the dissertation process into manageable pieces so that doctoral students can finish their dissertations in one year (or less). 

As an assistant professor in the Language, Literacy, & Culture doctoral program at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County and is the author of over 60 publications. Additionally, he has had the opportunity to help over 100 doctoral students navigate the dissertation process and support their journeys to become college professors, K-12/higher education administrators, and consultants.

 

Some highlights from the conversation are:

- Why it's important and relevant for academics to have a side hustle business (even on top of their professional career or personal life)

- How to deal with criticism and skepticism from colleagues, as well as "anti-side hustle" trolls on Twitter 

- Misconceptions about side hustlers, and how it's actually more simple and manageable than you might think
