“Hustle” is the word that best describes Daniel Snead’s tenacity and zeal for life. A native resident of Rochester, New York, Daniel has always pushed himself to be the best at whatever he sets out to accomplish. This level of discipline and persistence emerged at an early age and was displayed in full force through his performances on the basketball court, where his dedication to the game created an opportunity for him to play overseas. When Daniel was 19 years old, he launched “Generation News” – a television show and nonprofit organization. This local news show that focused on positive stories about young adults became the spark that ignited his own quest for freedom and creativity in business.

That same level of perseverance that was seen in his adolescent years is what fuels Daniel’s entrepreneurial spirit today. He loves to gain and share information and does so as the founder and digital creator of “The Hustle Bone” podcast, and “Just Hoop” clothing brand. He also runs a business in the direct sales industry, which has been in operation for the past eight years to offer value for everyday, essential services used by consumers.     

Daniel and his wife Justine have been married for ten years and they have two beautiful daughters. Daniel’s ultimate goal is to impact the world through creating meaningful content and inspiring the next generation of creators and entrepreneurs.
