Summary

Max Wastler is my guest this week. I've known Max for about four years, but it wasn't until this episode that I truly understood the passion behind the risks he's taken and choices he's made with his career. It made for a solid talk.

Max talks about the 33 jobs he's had in 33 years, the origins of his hustler ways, and his mission to connect people to the makers of the products they use every day. He completely changed my perspective on the phrase "Made In America," and I'm excited to hear what you think about this episode.
