Hustle Machine Jason Marlowe & Zack Tatum

So, Zack was eating Chinese food recently and got a fortune that read, "If you're feeling down, then try throwing yourself into work."For Zack, he saw only the pitfalls of his past - pushing too hard and too far and ending up with medical issues that nearly put him out of commission. However, Jason viewed it differently: as a way to compartmentalize and find a deeper meaning through your work. For some, work is everything - and that can be ok, but neither Jason nor Zack have the equation righ...

So, how do you stay ahead of the competition? How can you beat out the competition? How can you win jobs, even without a huge level of experience?

You don't have to be reading ahead in some book every day, but this concept is taken from the memoirs of Frank Abagnale Jr. (the inspiration for the main character in Catch Me If You Can), where he was asked how he taught Sociology for a YEAR at BYU without ever having taken sociology p...

In this episode, we discuss a section from a book that Jason is reading. It's from "Man's Search for Meaning," by Viktor Frankl. In this part of his book, Frankl writes:“Don't aim at success. The more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side effect of one's personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of one's surrender to a person...

This week on Hustle Machine we discuss football. No, we're not a football show, but we take a look at the unhealthy dog eat dog competition often seen in the football world and see how it related to the toxic world of hustle culture. Zack connects this topic with some recent news he's seen with college football coach, Nick Saban, and we briefly discuss Deion Sanders toe.

Today we're talking about being a boss! After a bit of rambling about The Lonely Island, The Office, John C. Reiley, and The Boss, we get started.Being your own boss isn't easy, but it's a lifestyle and professional choice that many folks make. It's not about living on a beach making passive income each day. Rather, there's a lot of work, challenges with time, the ebb & flow of income, finding clients, etc.Working for yourself and running your own business is a dream to strive for. For Ja...
