The Underdog Hustle to Entrepreneurial Success:

Justin Forsett’s journey to successful entrepreneur reads like a movie script, complete with the charismatic leader forging a career after nine years as a professional NFL player. While still playing with the Seattle Seahawks, he conceptualized a body wipe – a disposable, anti-bacterial wash cloth that removed sweat and body odor.

He then commercially marketed it in 2014. Since the company landed on Shark Tank in 2018, Hustle Clean has been featured on Fox, CBS, ESPN, NBC and Cheddar. Products are now carried in over 6,000 stores nationwide including Target and over 4,100 Walmart stores.

Justin inspires the resilient and relentless to keep grinding. The thick skin he developed playing football has helped prepare him to enter a world where just 1% of venture-funded startup founders are Black.
