We’ve teamed up with Visa and The Sidemen on a new campaign to inspire the next generation of side hustlers to turn their passions into businesses. LADbible & Visa has produced an exclusive interview with Vikram Barn and Tobi Brown from The Sidemen, to share their journey, and offer practical advice to budding business owners, including highlighting how with the help of Visa’s safe and secure payment network, they were able to focus on growing their hustles.    In a LADbible first, we’ve also launched a TikTok Shop activation, supported by Visa, to showcase the side-hustlers products and help get the word out on what they offer.
