## Resource

Most people think they need a new idea to make more money—but what if they’re just overlooking what’s already there? Bart Merrell helps people create financial security by monetizing what they already know, already do, and often completely ignore. From building a DJ business at 15 to working internationally and turning everyday skills into income streams, Bart’s built his life around one simple question: can this be monetized? We talk about why money really means options, how to spot opportunities hiding in plain sight, and the mindset shift that turns side hustles into something much bigger. If you’ve ever felt like you should be doing more—but don’t know where to start—this one will get your gears turning.
