I've never used a pseudonym, but I have always done such activities under my business name, same as when they aren't side gigs.

I don't think of this kind of activity "hustling" or "side gigs", honestly. Calling them those things implies that they are less important or subservient to being an employee, and I've found that's a problematic stance.

Thank you for that perspective. That really does mean a lot to me. Like I said I’m trying to do things different this time, and that’s a great mindset to have.
