Flexible hours: NO

Public speaking as a side hustle is generally flexible, allowing you to set your own schedule. However, it often depends on client demands and event timings. Online communities like Reddit and YouTube suggest that while marketed as flexible, there can be hidden time commitments such as preparation and travel. Some users mention limited availability due to peak event seasons. Threads on Reddit often discuss the need for balancing speaking engagements with other commitments, highlighting both the freedom and challenges of managing time effectively.
