Brought to you by Four Sigmatic: Use Code '5oclockhustle' and get 10% off your first order   For all the show notes go to: 5oclockhustle.com/quants   "We're physics majors, and we bake cookies…and we're going to change the world" Sean explained, very matter-of-factly. Chris and I looked at each other, excited for what we knew was going to be one hell-of-a learning experience for ourselves and the two eager entrepreneurs sitting in front of us.   Set your timer for one hour.   This episode is special. If you thought young love was inspiring, you're about to be blown away by Young Business. Sean and Lauren are bf/gf, graduating college students at Cal Poly Pomona and founders of the soon-to-be game-changing Quants Bakery, which hand-crafts a variety of baked goods that are 100% plant-based and 1000% mouth-watering. Together, the Quants team has discovered the perfect science behind oral enjoyment that has led to devouring numerous college competitions, destroying blind taste tests against household brands (plant-based and not) and now, final partnership meetings with local restaurants and retailers alike that are salivating at the idea of distributing Quants products. Move over Mrs. Fields… Quants is comin' to teach you a lesson!   During the episode, we take an in-depth look at Sean and Lauren's secrets for working together fluidly without affecting their love life (it's not so easy!), the resources and mentoring they leverage from organizations like SCORE and ideahouseandco and their thoughts on the best approaches to impacting the food market and growing with sustainability so that they can impact Earth on a large scale. If you're on the younger side of the spectrum and having a hard time getting your ideas off the ground and running, this episode is for you. If you're on the older side of the spectrum and want some motivation to reinvigorate your passion, this episode is for you. Leverage your time better, be a supportive partner, do something meaningful, truly enjoy your career…it's all here. So sit back, crank up your volume, get your brain muscles steaming and prepare to enjoy some delicious audio. Class is in session!   Are you a startup? Hosting an event? Do you have a non-profit you'd like to promote?  The hosts of 5oclockhustle are always looking for ways to give back and pay it forward.  Go to 5oclockhustle.com/corkboard and fill out the form. If we like what we see we will promote you and your project in a podcast episode intro!

STDs – Success requires Tools and Devotion (and action) Great humans say great things…it's a fact. I mean, a lot of people say things that make sense or are inspiring, but the ones that have impacted their communities or actually changed the world have always been happy to share hints at how they did it. Here, have a listen:  "Well done is better than well said" -Benjamin Franklin | "An idea not coupled with action will never get any bigger than the brain cell it occupied." -Arnold Glaslow | "There is only one proof of ability – action." -Marie Ebner-Eschenbach. Ever wonder why we tend to look at these nuggets of brilliance as "cool quotes" instead of taking them to heart? These treasure maps are handed out all the time and yet when you read the lines above, you probably said to yourself, "well, those are cool quotes about taking action." Humans are scared of their own potential and, even more so, scared that if they actually put their all into something it could blow up in their face. Well here's a sentiment we'd like to spread: Unless failing means that you die (we don't recommend that), all you're doing by failing is getting closer to succeeding.

If you thought that paragraph above was an introduction to a next-level Squadcast from the 5 O'Clock Hustle, you may be confused but you're still right. This podcast was created to give people (including the hosts) what they need to reach new heights. We interview great humans every week and without fail they provide us with something special – expert learnings, unique perspectives, tricks to creating results, lessons from terrible stories that we can now avoid, all of it! Straight from the 5OH team to your eyes, your ears; don't listen in for quotes. Listen to learn and to grow. That's what we try to do and we're excited to ride this wave together.

These past few weeks we spoke with some truly great humans that shared their tips for taking action and utilizing the tools available. Perfect listening to start your day off with energy and focus. Listen with intention and see what you can get out of it. No quotes about it. Oh and we can't say this enough – please take 30 seconds to leave reviews and feedback! It's really hard to make sure you're getting what you want out of this podcast without knowing what you want ;)  Help me help you. Thanks so much!

The hustle comes in all shapes and sizes; with diverse backgrounds, varieties of manifestations…all that good stuff! We bring this up because this week we had the opportunity to interview Grace Lancaster, Event Coordinator for the well-known event group and daily news source The Hustle! Grace is knowledgeable, driven, passionate, energetic, excited; all without needing to hold the title of "Founder and CEO."  She's an important piece of the puzzle and proof that you don't need to start a company to be an integral part of it. Grace's humble beginnings in side hustle are drive-provoking and her love for her company is inspirational. She's heavily responsible for the huge success of not only Hustle Con, but also the large-scale empowerment event titled "2X" that allows motivated individuals to learn from the journeys of trail-blazing female professionals and industry leaders! You won't want to miss this! And be sure to check out thehustle.co and get your @$$ to their events. Hustle on!

Sometimes when life gives you lemons…make podcasts. In this episode, the 5OH crew has a quick venting session (which is a ton of fun to listen to) that turns into some invaluable learning and introspection.  

First, a chat about how to better control your environment in the face of unforeseen circumstances – not like earthquakes or anything; more along the lines of last minute changes, planning issues, etc. Then, a self-awareness exercise where we find out about some crazy perceptions among the 5OHs and have a quick team-building session to keep us in stride. Finally, a recap of January's episodes – what we loved, what we appreciated, what we could do better and what the Hell we're doing, generally.

This episode takes a be-real approach to the process behind successfully building and running something that relies on a team – one of the most important aspects of entrepreneurship. Just ask one of the world's former leaders of innovation and industry…"Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success." -Henry Ford | We hope you enjoy us putting ourselves out there in this episode and, as Henry would say, Keep Hustlin'!

One of the hardest struggles for a hustler is finding the motivation to grind your way to the next level. You feel like you're already maxed out because you're somehow maintaining your 9 to 5, your personal/family life and making subtle progress on a side-hustle. If you're in that boat, you need to listen to this episode of 5OH. We're hugely appreciative to be joined by Greg Monterrosa, co-founder of Hub101 and professional fire-under-ass lighter. One of the most knowledgeable, energetic and inspirational people we've ever been blessed with speaking to. We promise you will get what you're looking for out of the next 54 minutes.
