Matthews has covered every part of the side hustle sphere. She is the Founder &amp; CEO of Uncharted Power, an award-winning, full-service power and data infrastructure company. At the age of 19, Jessica invented the SOCCKET ball, an energy-generating soccer ball that provides off-grid power for the developing world. At the age of 22, she founded Uncharted Power (previously Uncharted Play), a global full-service power technology company that builds, owns, and operates renewable power infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Growing up, Jessica loved the idea of tinkering, science and invention. That, paired with seeing her family in Nigeria affected by not having access to reliable, cost-effective power inspired her to do something about it and make an impact, even if it wasn\u2019t linear. After side hustling for five years before running her business full time, Jessica shows that you don\u2019t have to have the roadmap before you start.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Listen on <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/side-hustle-pro\/id1126021323\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Apple Podcasts<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/13qDj08lBR4ymzGhXIKy8t\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Spotify<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/sidehustlepro\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Soundcloud<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stitcher.com\/podcast\/side-hustle-pro\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Stitcher<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<strong>Links mentioned in this episode<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/sidehustlepro.lpages.co\/183\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Hard-Thing-About-Things-Building\/dp\/0062273205\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">\u201cThe Hard Thing About Hard Things\u201d by Ben Horowitz<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Click here to subscribe via RSS feed (non-iTunes feed): <a href=\"http:\/\/sidehustlepro.libsyn.com\/rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">http:\/\/sidehustlepro.libsyn.com\/rss<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Announcements<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Join our Facebook Community<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for a community of supportive side hustlers who are all working to take our businesses to the next level, join us here: <a href=\"http:\/\/sidehustlepro.co\/facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">http:\/\/sidehustlepro.co\/facebook<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Send questions to \u201cAsk Nicaila\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can now send questions for the new \u201cAsk Nicaila\u201d segment that\u2019s coming to Side Hustle Pro.
