#14: The Hustle Founder Sam Parr | How to Hustle

Is success as seemingly simple as putting one foot in front of the other? Sam Parr, founder of The Hustle, one of the fastest-growing media companies, focusing on millennials, tech and culture, fueled his rise by curiosity, action and googling. Segueing from helping “American Pickers” Mike Wolfe set up a Nashville store to running a hot dog stand to feed the fans, Sam googled how to start an internet business and then did. He moved to Silicon Valley, started and sold a few ventures, then the self-proclaimed nobody started a blog which evolved into The Hustle. Sam’s career proves that hustle manifests success, more than degrees, connections and money.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• Building a business is like writing a hit song
• About the benefits of a PhD in the school of life: Poor, hungry and driven.
• Throwing money at a new business can give an artificial sense of success
• How to hustle to bring your goals to life

Thank you, Sam, for joining me. Give it a listen, and fast forward your marketing mind in about 20 minutes.
