Stitcher Apple Podcasts     

What better way to learn about the 5OH credo – professional pursuit of passion - than to follow the journey of a struggling artist turned Pre-caso / master entrepreneur. Enter Michael "Cookie" Cook, co-founder of The Street Art Loft and author of the soon-to-be best seller "Cookie – The Discovery Edition."

From humble beginnings as an assistant to the well-known hip hop urban artist Justin Bua, to specializing in unique portrayals of pandas, to eventually being commissioned for the creation of corporate murals and managing a portfolio of diverse talent, Cookie stayed true to his art form throughout. After pushing through serious hustle-hurdles and executing a number of strategic pivots, The Street Art Loft has become a well-respected art co., with Michael Cook exemplary of the dividends paid by hard work and repetition. This episode has endless entrepreneurial pointers and huge insight into the art industry; with a party feel, though. Come join!

Life can be a bitch. At the end of the day, we sometimes need a little help from our friends. 5OH shares this sentiment. In this episode, we bring on our long-time buddy and proven businesseur, Dean Scott, to explain how his upbringing and professional path led to a happy hustle lifestyle. Tons of golden nuggets that you'll get from the next hour and we also introduce a new segment aimed at helping listeners strategically turn their business idea into a reality.

Some of the topics that we hit include: understanding and leveraging unconventional strengths, overcoming the challenges of building out a side hustle without affecting your 9-5, tips for bridging the gap between your passion and your wallet, and much more! All with a surprise ending that'll completely change the dynamic of 5OH! You don't want to miss this! Hustle on!

If you follow this podcast that we endearingly refer to as the 5 O'clock Hustle, you're either pursuing your passion project or, at the least, coming to realize how important it is to have one. 9 to 5 is what you need and the rest is what you can't live without. And while that sounds well and good, being in this boat means you're going to come up against some strong currents. Acknowledging the challenge is the first step.

To that, Dre and Chris take some extra time in this episode of 5OH to speak on the hills and hurdles of up-and-coming entrepreneurs; and how they persevere. As Maya Angelou brilliantly stated, "You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it." 

Special Announcement:

Jay Lieberman is a realtor.  Oh and he's a lawyer, founder of a charity, an author; he owns a few pizza restaurants and he's a fellow podcaster.  In summary, Jay is a busy man.  Thankfully for us, he set some time aside to be the first guest on our humble little podcast and what a great guest he was.

I first came across Jay's work when searching for local podcasters.  In Jay's Conejo Valley Advice Givers Podcast, he interviews local businesses who share wonderful stories and insights about how and why their businesses were created and their process.  It's highly inspirational and I suggest you add it to your playlist, especially if you live in or near the Conejo Valley.

Jay has also founded a local charity called the Conejo Valley Impact Club.  If you're from the area please take a minute and check out their website.  Most recently, they raised $5,200 with 50 founding member sign ups!  They are doing great things over there and you'll hear more about it on the podcast, so take a listen!

The fact of the matter is Jay is a hustler.  He has realized his aspirations with action and we can all learn from him.  It was a pleasure having him on and I hope you get as much out of the conversation as Dre and I did.
