Hustling: it’s not just for online marketers and entrepeneurs. Anyone who has succeeded at anything has done so because they’ve hustled, whatever industry they’re in. Anna Vocino has made a career in Hollywood, starring in improv comedy show Free Radio on Comedy Central, Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and The Lance Krall Show. She’s done voiceovers for hundreds of commercials and dozens of video games.
Listen for the consistent hustle as Anna shares the ups & downs of working in show biz in episode 57.
Anna relates the lessons she’s learned from her years in the acting and comedy worlds to experiences every solopreneur faces: realizing you’re unemployable, the fear of committing to your heart’s calling and the test of believing in yourself regardless of outside circumstances.
During the show, you’ll hear how Anna has led her life with the embodiment of the 3 H’s of solopreneurship: hustle, hustle, hustle.
She and I also reveal:
- The value of finding “your people”
- The power of saying no and following your heart
- How Anna went from running an improv theatre to being interviewed for the role of Obama’s campaign CFO
- The comedy improv rule of “yes, and” – and how it applies to your business and your life
- Why creative expression and creation are so important to any solopreneur in any industry
There’s plenty of knowledge dropped in this show and lots of laughs. You’re sure to be entertained while being enlightened and educated.

I feel that this episode should be the starting point for any newbie listeners to the solohour podcasts, as it covers so many areas that are vitally important for anyone wanting to create their own perfect lives. Coming from the UK I hadn’t heard of Anna or the shows that she has been on, but I certainly resonated with her work ethic. The fact that she worked her butt off, and never allowed rejections to stop her in her tracks is such a lesson. Work hard, build your network, hustle, get better at doing what you want to do……and then get better again, and again and never stop. She was amazing. On a kind of separate note, I watched the “Yes Man” with Jim Carrey last night, and was struck by how many times we all say No, and don’t allow ourselves to jump and then try to work it out. That is a great film to watch each time we are scared of taking uncomfortable action. It certainly seemed to hit home to me.
