Hey hustlers, welcome back to another episode of the HUSTLR Podcast. Firstly, I want to apologize to our avid podcast listeners that have been following this show closely that we will not be publishing weekly episodes now as we are undergoing massive amounts of change internally over the past few months and there has been a small shift of focus. I’ll continue to try my best to publish as often as I can but we want to be pickier with who we bring onto the show as we only want to publish the best interviews we have our hands on. Which brings me to today’s guest - Sarah Bolt from Forth. Sarah is a high growth startup founder that is in the health tracking space.

Hey hustlers, welcome back for another episode of The HUSTLR Podcast. I know I have not been sticking to the publishing schedule lately but there has just been too much to do and I am looking to improve the quality of this podcast by only interviewing the best of the best in online business. Luke Sartain from UpUGo is one such example. His story is truly a rags to riches one. Starting his business from underneath a stairwell, UpUGo is now UK's largest SEO agency in just a short 5-6 years. His story is a gritty, fulfilling story that sends out this message: "If you work hard and smart, you can get out of the rut you are in." In this episode, we discussed SEO tactics, dealing with clients and covering your arse from potential lawsuits, as well as the mindset necessary for sustainable growth.

Hello hustlers, thanks for coming back onto the show. It's an insane time to be alive and do you know what's even more crazy? The fact that Anthony Moore is crushing making money with his writing skills during this difficult time. A brief introduction about Anthony, he was previously an owner of a blog that didn't take off. He worked 3 years on that blog before giving up on building a blog. I don't blame him, because building a successful blog is a super difficult endeavour that less than 1% can master. He then took his writing skills onto Medium and that's where everything changed for him. If writing is your thing and you're looking to monetize this skill or turn it into a full blown business, this episode is for you. If you finished this episode and would like to find out more about Anthony's secret on succeeding on medium, check out freelancewriterstarterpackage.com for an hour-long free training that MIGHT be able to help you make that happen!

For this episode, I'm very happy to have Steve Schultheis from Stevesgoods.com joining us on the show. This is a really amazing story to share on how a small business can grow to a respectable size in just a matter of 3 years - provided you're in the right industry. I was tempted to keep this interview recording for episode 420, but that's gonna be 7 more years down the line - so I wouldn't be doing it justice.  Super interesting interview with Steve here. The business started off on the streets with Steve - the founder of the company started talking with everyone in sight about Hemp, CBD and its benefits. He's a really cool guy and I'm happy that he's going through this success. Fast forward three years later, Steve’s Goods has grown from a small cramped space in Lyons to a 6,000 square foot office, production and distribution center in Colorado. They’ve also recently opened up a 3,000 sq foot retail space to host educational events, product launches and more.   All this success didn’t come easy. The CBD and marijuana industry is filled with a ton of red tape and hurdles. The simplest things like getting a bank account, getting a logistics partner and renting an office is many times harder just because of the industry and the negative sentiment around marijuana.   If you want to know more about Steve and his journey in building the business - stay tuned to the end of the episode. Want to give CBD/CBG/Hemp a shot? Visit stevesgoods.com. I've tried them myself and it really helps me with my sleep and anxiety issues (life of an entrepreneur). Like this episode?
