High School Hustle: Hunter Beale (25)

February 03, 2025 • Erik Libby • Episode 21

Originally from Indianapolis, Indiana, Hunter’s entrepreneurial journey began in 5th grade, selling snow cones, flipping Jordan sneakers, and turning Goodwill finds into eBay gold.

While he started strong, his path wasn’t without challenges. Living with a learning disability and battling self-doubt, Hunter transformed these obstacles into fuel for his success.

He went on to study Entrepreneurship at Ball State University, and during that time launched Simpler Living LLC with $250,000 in capital, a 300-person waiting list, and the opportunity to audition for Shark Tank.

After graduation, Hunter managed 17 Jiffy Lube locations before transitioning to his current role as President of a company, working under the mentorship of leaders running $100M+ businesses.

Hunter is just 25 years old.
