Andrew Thorp King is an executive fintech banker, spy novelist, speaker, punk rocker, podcaster, ex-bodybuilder, cigar lover, and serial entrepreneur. He founded two independent record labels—Thorp Records and Sailor's Grave Records—and has invested in many spaces, including online lending, fitness, lead generation, and independent music.

When it comes to finding meaning in failure, Andrew Thorp King is living proof. Andrew draws on two decades of leadership, entrepreneurship, and a series of dramatic personal setbacks to coach and speak about transformation. His latest book, FAILURE RULES!: The 5 Rules of Failure for Entrepreneurs, Creatives, and Authentics, brings a fresh and practical look at why failure may feel awful but can fuel the journey toward your true calling.

He has crashed and burned through bankruptcy, divorce, mortgage default, and more, yet rebuilt stronger each time.

We chat about the calling journey, cigars and hot tubs, his new book, bankruptcy and entrepreneurship, authenticity and imposter syndrome, marrying money and meaning, building himself back up and trying new things, rising to the occasion plus much more!
