Nick Huber built his business empire not by chasing revolutionary ideas, but by mastering the art of executing simple things exceptionally well.
In his new book, The Sweaty Startup: How to Get Rich Doing Boring Things, Nick shares a refreshingly practical blueprint for entrepreneurial success.
In this episode, Nick breaks down why boring businesses win, how to pick the right opportunities, and what it really takes to build wealth without chasing unrealistic dreams.

* (00:00) Why most people misunderstand entrepreneurship
* (03:04) How to choose the right business by analyzing your competition
* (06:47) Why "follow your passion" is terrible advice if you want to build a real business
* (10:01) How to stand out in crowded online markets
* (13:28) The expensive but necessary steps to decouple yourself from sales and operations
* (16:08) Guerrilla marketing tactics that actually work (and how Nick used sidewalk chalk to scale a business)
* (20:29) The three assets every entrepreneur must build: cash, network, and operational skills
* (24:56) When to expand beyond one business—and when to stay focused
* (30:00) Why understanding human selfishness is the key to better sales, networking, and hiring
* (36:42) Nick’s approach to raising $20M for a private equity deal
Nick’s philosophy is simple but powerful: operators get paid, not idea guys.
