key here is that he started while he was working full time
-
He is really in his element! Obviously loves foods and history, but his customer service and business acumen also seems very natural and seamless. Love it!
-
there is nothing better than getting paid for something you would already do for free.
-
I wish this young man huge success. 🎉
-
What a cool idea! Look how happy he is. Wishing him the best!
-
I have to say this is one of my favorites that you guys have done in a long time. You can really see this guy is passionate about what he does. Not to mention, who doesn't love food. I've been considering moving back to Chicago from NYC and wouldn't it be awesome to have Ultimate Food Tours there. Kind of inspiring.
-
it's actually a great business idea. It's pretty unique, good luck scott!
-
The description acknowledges that this is a full time business, so why the headline refers to his business as a side hustle? Stop with the degenerate sensationalistic headlines please.
-
So cool! I've been on this tour! I didn't know he was famous. Every stop was amazing! Only going on tours with Scott!
-
A gluten free version of the tour would be amazing! He will double maybe triple his profit within a year because he has that hustle spirit. Lead with respect and you will earn respect. Good on him and continue to reach for the sky!
-
Wow he's got supportive parents, I like that.
-
I work for Meta but I want to come work with you now 😅😭😁
-
Great switch. However please note he’s working 80 hrs/week. So the 147k+ /year is more comparable to 74k+ if working a regular 40hr week. Regardless he loves his job, kudos!
-
He is truly a natural and seems genuinely kind! I wish him all the best!
-
I am so proud of this guy! He seems to truly love what he does and I hope he has more success in the future. I hope to take his tour on my next trip in NYC.
-
this is great! so exciting to see this and support of local businesses!
-
I'm glad he's well. Seems that every guest by CNBC Make It are doing well. How about a CNBC Lost It? Where people went down with their business?
-
Very high quality content! I look forward to new videos from you! 💝🐱
-
He seems so genuine and passionate about what he does! Definitely inspiring to watch!
-
$90 per person that’s insane. I grew up in Chinatown manhattan. All these spots shown in the video are super cheap. At most, you just need $30-40.
