Hustle 101

This week my friend Alex Barker co-hosts and interviews me on my entrepreneurial beginnings, my first side hustle, and the origins and future of Side Hustle Nation. We also go through a few listener questions as well.

I realized I’ve told some of these stories only in bits and pieces on the show and on the Side Hustle Nation blog before, despite having mentioned them on several other podcasts.

This episode is admittedly a little “fluffy” — so I promise a return to the hard-hitting tactical stuff next week!

Nate and his brother earned $300,000 in passive income by licensing one of their ideas to Mattel. They didn’t have to design it, produce it, or sell it. But they found someone who could, and they cashed the checks.

And to be fair, Nate will be the first to tell you these kind of results aren’t typical — but he’s proof they ARE possible.

Nate’s actually a dentist by day, but a pretty serious side hustler by night, and on this call we take a deep dive into the world of product licensing.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope you’re having an amazing holiday with friends and family, and taking a moment to reflect and recharge. Even though it’s an American holiday, the idea behind giving thanks for what we have is universal.

I’m behind the mic solo this week, talking about 6 habits I believe have made me a better entrepreneur, and how you can implement them in your own life.
