Nick Friedman is hard to miss. You can recognize him by his tan pants, lava-orange shirt and the smile that wraps around his face like a scarf. To the employees operating out of his College Hunks Hauling Junk headquarters in Tampa, Florida, USA, the sight is every bit as common as the palm trees that pepper the local landscape. As the co-founder and president of the largest US-based junk-removal and moving service, smiling has become second nature for the EO Central Florida member…like breathing, blinking or ruminating about business during a culinary chomp in nearby Ybor City.

In this second installment of the Nick Friedman interview, BOLD Business catches up with the College Hunks Hauling Junk co-founder and discusses Effortless Entrepreneur, his new book with Hunks co-founder and co-author Omar Soliman.
BOLD: In your book, you discussed the difficulties of working with your best friend. What’s the hardest part of this working relationship?
NF: I think the most difficult part is that our friendship does and can suffer. There are weekends when we won’t hang out, we won’t talk or don’t plan trips because we’re always working together; that’s probably the biggest negative. Still, I think it’s important to recognize that the friendship should come first, and that’s the most important thing. We try not to let the business put a strain on it.

In this special post, BOLD Business sits down with College Hunks Hauling Junk co-founder Nick Friedman, who co-authored Effortless Entrepreneur with business partner Omar Soliman. Nick discusses the development of their book, the importance of teaching entrepreneurship to young adults and how he successfuly runs his business with Omar.
BOLD: What inspired you to write Effortless Entrepreneur?
NF: Believe it or not, it stemmed from an Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO) event in Las Vegas. One of the speakers was talking about the importance of writing a book, and how everybody who has written a book says they wish they had done it 10 years earlier. Omar had been in that same breakout session, and we started thinking about what we were going to write about. We realized we had all these crazy stories about getting into business, and we knew we could talk about our experiences. It was a three-year process from that EO event to making the book into a real, living product.
