What is the Side Hustle Summit?

Side Hustle Summit (SHS) is a free live virtual event hosted by Russell Brunson and Iman Gadzhi from September 6th through September 13th, 2026, teaching beginners how to build an AI-powered online side hustle from scratch.

A side hustle, also called a side job, is additional work or a small business pursued alongside a primary job to earn extra income. SHS teaches the model for building that additional income online without leaving your current job.

The event includes five live training sessions on September 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th and 13th, with each session beginning at 1 PM Eastern Time and running for approximately one hour. The sessions are hosted entirely online, and replays are available within 24 hours.

The event is designed for people starting from zero. You do not need previous business experience, startup capital, a large social media following, or to show your face online to follow the model being taught.

Across the live training, Russell and Iman will focus on the core stages required to create an offer, get it in front of potential customers, and build the systems needed to deliver it.

The training will also explore how to reach customers without first needing to build a large personal following or depend entirely on paid advertising.
