Peter Awad is a technical marketer with roots in mechanical engineering. He founded an e-commerce site prior to co-founding several tech startups and most importantly the Slow Hustle Podcast. Slow Hustle challenges what it means to be an entrepreneur raising a family in our connected economy.
This week, YEC brings you a recent episode of Slow Hustle.
In this hour-long episode, Peter Awad speaks to Eden Chen about his company Fisherman Labs, a Los Angeles based mobile app development business. Chen is also a Partner at CTRL Collective, a creative campus for entrepreneurs, makers and companies, and the co-founder of Knife and Fox, a design shop.
They discuss Chen’s transition from ministry to finance to entrepreneurship, how he finds slowness in the midst of all his endeavors, and creating an ultimate purpose in such a broken world.
A lot of his success Chen attributes to his run rate. “People don’t do a great job of assessing what truly makes them happy,” he says. “I think it’s so hard to separate the pressures of what you think should make you happy (vacationing, the nice house, the nice car, impressing people) from what [actually makes you happy].”
