Book Your 1:1 Call
Talk about your idea, your business, or anything you’ve read in The Side Hustle Collection.
Why this call exists
If you’ve read the articles inside The Side Hustle Collection and found them useful, you might want to go one step further — to talk about your idea, test your assumptions, or simply have a real conversation about building smarter projects.
This 1:1 call is exactly that: an open space to discuss your goals, challenges, and next steps with someone who works in both the structured world of business and the fast-moving world of side projects.
What you can use it for
You can use this call to:
Explore your side hustle idea or current business and get honest feedback.
Ask practical questions about business models, traction, or monetization.
Discuss validation strategies, AI tools, or automation for your workflow.
Or simply exchange ideas about topics you’ve read in The Side Hustle Collection and want to deepen.
It’s not a fixed agenda — it’s a focused conversation built around your situation.
Who can book
The 1:1 call is exclusively available for annual subscribers of The Side Hustle Collection.
Once you subscribe to the annual plan, you’ll receive a private link to schedule your session directly.
About me
I’m Simone Astarita, a project manager with experience across different business environments — from structured contexts such as consulting and banking, to more agile worlds like startups and side businesses.
I’ve worked in a startup support company inside a banking group, later as a credit analyst in investment banking, and today I work within a venture capital firm.
Alongside that, I’ve always been passionate about digital business. Over the years I’ve launched several side projects myself — from food e-commerce and real estate flipping to social channels.
Today, my focus is on exploring and sharing what works in the digital economy through my newsletter and The Side Hustle Collection.
So whether you want to validate a new idea, refine a business model, or simply talk strategy, this call is a chance to get perspective and clarity from someone who’s seen both sides of the table.

Subscribe annually — the 1:1 call is included in the annual plan (one session per subscriber).
Receive your booking link via email after subscribing.
If you don’t get it, you can reply directly to the subscription email, or reach out on Instagram or X (ex Twitter) — I read every message.
Choose a time slot — sessions are about one hour long, but I don’t watch the clock; we’ll take the time needed.
Join the call via Zoom or Google Meet — no preparation required, though you can send notes or slides if you’d like me to review them in advance.
