On the newest episode of The Hustle Podcast, we welcome my good friend, entrepreneur YouTuber, and the owner of the FlytPath brand, Aldryn Estacio to the show. Aldryn and I have known each other for 30+ years growing up together in San Diego, CA. Aldryn is an aerial drone artist and an entrepreneur at heart who has been building brands since the 90’s. He was there for both the start of the car culture which caught its global wave through the Fast & Furious franchise. Aldyn was also right in the middle of the dance culture where he helped run the Jabbawockeez site, manufacture their merch, and fulfill their orders back in the late 2000’s when they won the first America’s Best Dance Crew. Aldryn now lives and breathes the FlytPath brand which is a brand that he’s built all by himself as a side hustle.

Aldryn has done a lot in his career without having a manual telling him what he needed to do. He jumps into passion projects and finds ways to turn them into businesses. Watching FlytPath’s ascension as a brand has been amazing as he’s taken a hobby of his with drone photography and become a YouTube influencer for other aspiring aerial drone enthusiasts. Aldryn has inspired me my whole life as well as others around the world.

If you want to build your own side hustle, start your own brand, or become an entrepreneur, this podcast episode will be one of your favorites. Aldryn was never given the keys to the whip but he hacked the system and went from 0-60 real quick. Thanks for listening to this episode all… It’s a banger!

In this episode, we talk with the Ground Floor Murals who have been painting beautiful street murals in San Diego since early 2020. Paul and Signe were laid off from their 9-5 jobs early during the pandemic and decided to take a risk by trusting their craft and pursuing careers in the art field. Now, not only are you seeing their pieces all over the city of San Diego, but they’re also building community and paying homage to the cultures that formed them. They’re also inspiring their neighbors and beautifying the city’s walls with images that instill pride in our communities. Lots of good info in here for anybody looking for ways to build their brand through community. Hope you all enjoy!
