Through his best-selling books, Jon Acuff may be one of the most prominent advocates for the side hustle “brand” of entrepreneurship.
Jon’s a sought-after author, speaker, and consultant, with a share of side hustle stories to tell. While some flopped, one was almost an overnight success: his Stuff Christians Like blog. We talk about all that and more during our call.
I’m grateful to have been connected to Jon through Bryan Orr, a fellow entrepreneur who I actually met on Fiverr.

Great interview, Jon is a really funny and thoughtful guy. Thanks Nick for having him on.
Stay at home mom of 8 kids, here, and
Jon, I like your saying that there’s a difference between average and content. Really important to recognize that when gauging my life’s purpose and desiring to always be ‘hustling’, but not comparing to others.
Nick, smooth interview.
Another great interview. Thank… I am catching up with all your podcasts. :)
Great content. Love your approach to the interview. You gave Jon time to answer your questions (which were spot on btw) and then you added your own sprinkles of relative responses. Thank you for taking the time to create something like this and share it.
