Jon Nastor's Hack the Entrepreneur

HTE 213: Leaving the Known For the Unknown | Heath Padgett


Listen Later

My guest today is a filmmaker, writer, RVer, and an entrepreneur.

After graduating college and taking a traditional office job like he thought he was supposed to do, he realized he wasn’t actually happy, and neither was his fiancé. So they decided to quit their jobs take a 50 state honeymoon.

My guest came up with the idea to travel 50 states and shine a spotlight on people who followed their passion or skill. Out of this trip came the documentary: Hourly America.

During the past year and a half, he has also worked a different job in all 50 states. On the side, he began building a blog about traveling in an RV, and it is quickly becoming his full-time business with some huge side projects on his plate.

Now, let’s hack…
