I have a side hustle that I turned into a full ecommerce and retail in-store business (my fiancé now fully runs for us so I can do the day job) - totally different from the day job and I feel has made me more creative in my thinking as well as see different perspectives. Bonus points for no councils or committees for me to go through.

I have a side hustle in the development phase at the moment in the area of mens work. It’s hard to say that it is a departure from tech as I’m developing a platform and processes similar to my work but in a completely different field.
