Gig Economy Chaos: Dave Ramsey Uber Warning, Hero Uber Driver, DoorDash Scandal | Ep 280

We would love to hear your feedback!

We tear into the hidden math of gig work, from bonuses that look great on paper to car notes that choke your margins. A spill, a triple batch, a Lyft perk change, and a Waymo near a felony stop all point to the same lesson: treat this like a business or the job will run you.

• stocking cleanup gear for fast recovery in the car
• using stackable bonuses to lift weak orders
• denying low-value trips and avoiding deadhead
• why expensive cars for rideshare rarely add up
• Lyft rewards changes and what to watch next
• Uber Eats scheduling screens in select markets
• multi-apping with two phones without verification flags
• when to cancel add-ons like mall drops on peak days
• Waymo’s blind spot near a police stop and human judgment
• BabyQuip and laundry apps as micro-business plays
