In 2014 Dan and Ian published an episode called The Tao of the Hustle.

In the years since that podcast was recorded, we continue to receive frequent questions and comments about the opinions on hustle and entrepreneurship that we shared.

One of those questions recently came from a listener named Rob Sanchez.

Rob loves creating products but, over the course of his career, has failed to establish proper distribution channels for them. He feels that his insecurities about hustling have frequently led to less than stellar results when his products launch.

On today’s episode, we are addressing Rob’s concerns and sharing six new elements to the Tao of the Hustle, as well as exploring ways that our philosophies about hustle have evolved.
