Rob Grether - Dashelito's Hot Sauce

I used to think that serial entrepreneurs just couldn't commit to a great idea.  Now I realize that serial entrepreneurs are pretty much the gold standard when it comes to implementing great ideas.  A case in point here is Rob Grether.  Rob is a real estate agent, a hot sauce creator and producer, as well as building a contract kitchen where he and his crew make and package other people's products.

This conversation brought a whole new light onto what all can be accomplished in the few hours we have each day.  Plus, he is clearly having fun doing it, which makes it all worthwhile.
