Episode 358: Andrew Thorp King’s 5 Rules of Failure

Thorp Records and Sailor's Grave Records founder Andrew Thorp King is on the podcast today. Andrew's experience running multiple record companies, body building, spy novel writing, and cigar aficionado experience led him to write his latest book, FAILURE RULES: The 5 Rules of Failure for Entrepreneurs, Creatives, and Authentics. We talk about how Andrew has marketed the book and has adapted to the marketplace with it, dive deep into Rule 2 (Nothing is Safe), talk about why the mosh pit is the perfect example for life, and show the practicality of Rule #4 (Build your Thing One and Thing Two Dependency). Failure rules if you know how to use it, and this is the perfect podcast to understand that.   Find Andrew Thorp King Online: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064045212575 Twitter: https://twitter.com/AndrewThorpKing Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andrewthorpking/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewthorpking/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@andrewthorpking YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLRJqrHRDoc0gh-kZuKo9rg Website: https://www.andrewthorpking.com Free Mini-Course: https://www.andrewthorpking.com/newsletter Andrew's Blog: https://www.andrewthorpking.com/blog Soul on Fire Supply Co.
