LifeHacksLA - Hacking the Best of Los Angeles

Ep 110. One of the things I love most about Los Angeles is the hustle mentality from many of the people you meet here. People in LA always seem to have multiple projects, business and side hustles going on, and lots of them are doing that while still juggling a full time job. As someone who has that same mentality of trying to build a community and a brand and still make enough money to reach my financial goals I really truly admire people who have those same motivations. Well, let me tell you my guest today is one of the most motivated and inspiring people Ive met when it comes to hustling every day to try to reach your goals. His name is J Forte and we actually met by chance in a coffee shop where he was gathering signatures for his run for mayor of LA. So I thought that was intriguing but after talking to him I was surprised to learn that's not the only thing he has going on right now. He is also training in Poland to be an analog astronaut. I didn't even know what that was until talking to him but its super fascinating. He is a musician who has released music and does live performances. He has appeared on numerous TV shows, he has published a few books, he does tech consulting for UI and UX design, he does motivational speeches and mentoring for kids and oh yeah lets not forget that LA mayoral run.. So this guy is the epitome of that LA hustle that I love so much… where people from all over the world move here to pursue their dreams.. And in this interview that's exactly what we talk about.. Knowing your dreams, working hard to achieve them and making them happen right here in the City of Angels Los Angeles.
