This week’s Misfit Entrepreneur is Doug Sandler. You may have heard of Doug before as he is the co-host of the Nice Guys on Business podcast which has over 1400 episodes and 5M+ downloads. Doug and I actually go back a ways having shared the stage at several different events over the years. He has an awesome story and is a consummate entrepreneur with over 30 years’ experience.
In addition to being a best-selling author, Doug has built a number of different businesses across a variety of verticals. And one of the things that has allowed him to do that is a concrete set of principles that he has used over and over again to succeed no matter what type of business he’s focused on. So, I’ve asked him on to discuss them and share them with you as well as talk all things entrepreneurship!

Many years ago, I introduced a new format that alongside our regular episodes called “Lessons for Hannah.” Hannah is my daughter and one of the main inspirations for the Misfit Entrepreneur. I wanted to have a place where she could go and learn from her daddy and his Misfit friends throughout her life….even after I am gone. If you haven’t listened to the first episode of "Lessons for Hannah," I urge you to as it gives some more background and tells the amazing story of how Hannah came to be in our lives.
Lessons for Hannah are short, very useful, and sometimes comical lessons, that I want to share with you and give to Hannah to help in your lives. Because I want Hannah to have these for her life, I’m going to speak as though I am talking directly to her. These episodes are a lot of fun and if you think there is a lesson that we should include in these episodes, please don’t hesitate to send it over to us at support@misfitentrepreneur.com. We’d love to share it.

Joseph has had an interesting entrepreneur journey and is still in the early stages of it.
