In this episode of The Super Human Life, Coach Frank Rich sits down with Nick Friedman, co-founder of College HUNKS Hauling Junk & Moving, to unpack the mindset, leadership principles, and relentless execution that helped transform a college side hustle into a $300M national franchise.
Long before entrepreneurship became mainstream, Nick and his business partner Omar Soliman launched a junk removal company with a borrowed cargo van, a catchy name, and a vision that most people couldn't see.
