The Hustler Files Ep 30

In The Hustler Files

WHEN YOUR ENTREPRENEURIAL IDEA IS LITERALLY UNDER YOUR BED

You might not think incarceration and entrepreneurship have a common thread, but they do. Many who become incarcerated were arrested for illegal activities, for which, an entrepreneurial mindset was part of their ill begotten success. Even once behind the wall, many continue with their nefarious activities. Eli was just such a person, and thus was put on 24/7 house arrest to attempt to curb his entrepreneurial ways. But Eli has the entrepreneurial gene, initially ignited by candy sales in grade school, and as Eli himself says, ‘with all that time locked inside at home, I had to find something to keep busy and make money…’. It was there and then that Eli created Filthy Kicks and with the help of Social Entrepreneur, Max, his entrepreneurial cohort, Greenspace, and Eli’s very supportive attorney named Kevin, Eli’s business idea and hard work has changed the trajectory of Eli’s life.
