The Efficient Hustle - A book by Lucas Meek
Lessons on being a professional production manager I learned while touring the world with a pop star.
* from Jason Walsmith of Guitar Satchel and The Nadas.
* This is a book by a good friend of mine and supporter of the Guitar Satchel.
* Lucas was one of my band The Nadas first touring sound engineers. In many ways we were learning to be a professional touring band at the same time as he was learning to be a travel with artists. He was already a pro and had gone to school for it and everything but it is a whole other thing to apply those lessons in the real world with artists who are demanding and emotional. We learned a lot during our years with Luke and I image he learned as well. He is a great friend and a real pro. This book is entertaining, inspiring and educational.
From the Efficient Hustle website...
In many ways, managing a tour is similar to running a business. There are employees and budgets to look after. The workload and responsibilities are extraordinary. And the demands on our time can be overwhelming. Without efficient work practices in place, the stress and lack of sleep make it impossible to thrive in the world of tour and production management.
In The Efficient Hustle, Lucas recollects stories from his first international tour when burnout nearly destroyed him. Revealing mistakes he made along the way and the subsequent lessons learned because of them, he delivers proven methods anyone can immediately implement that will enable them to:
· Communicate efficiently
· Streamline workflow
· Organize the endless stream of incoming data
· Complete tasks using less time and energy
· Develop a professional demeanor
· Instill trust in colleagues
· Reduce Stress
· Enjoy the tour experience

from 18 reviewsLove the guitar satchel. It fits a multitude of my instruments. Weissenborn, Wee Lowden, Fender Tele. Wonderful parlor guitar size. Would highly recommend.
I've been so impressed with the design, functionality and durability of all that Jason and company are doing! I'm constantly loading in and out of my home music room, office at the church and our worship center for rehearsals and services. All my GS bags have made it easier. Thank you guys! Keep it up.
This bag is not only made well, it’s perfect for taking the essentials with me. Acts as a great carry on u see seat bag. I can put my pedals, cables and other accessories in it, and I’m good to go. It’s got pockets and nice features like brass strap clips, branded leather, magnets instead of velcro for the handles closures.
Its olive green color is nice too. Over all this bag will serve many needs for any musician, or someone on the go.
Great job Guitar Satchel, this bag is rad!
The Guitar Satchel bus bag is a complete game changer!! It keeps all of my gear organized and in its own home. Glad that I stumbled across this amazing gem!! Awesome product and well made.
I haven’t seen a case which looks great, functions great and to top it off, has a lifetime warranty.
Bag is sturdy but not bulky.
Quality construction. Perfect for my Collings 12 fret.
I meant to include a few photos… My Gibson Nathaniel Rateliff LG-2 Western, Vintage Sunburst barely fits, but works just fine.
This durable and good looking Parlor sized satchel is the perfect carry case for local gigs and rehearsals. Way more convenient, but just as sturdy as the hard shell.
Thank you! If not for this song, I would not have any morels. This is the morel support I’ve need for years.
I was very impressed with the design and workmanship of the Guitar Satchel. I have a unique parlor guitar that I designed and built based on an old guitar but with modern variations like a 14 fret neck. I was assured by a representative my guitar would fit, and it does. As craftsman I appreciate the union of quality materials, thoughtful design and meticulous workmanship and the Guitar Satchel demonstrates all of these.
I ordered a Guitar Satchel as a replacement for one of my older gig bags. Jason pointed me in the right direction for the size I needed to fit my different resonator guitars. The parlor size was a perfect fit and it looks sharp. It really fills a gap that I didn’t realize I had for transporting /protecting my guitars. Obviously it’s not as sturdy as my fiberglass or hard shell cases and it’s much thinner than my other “softshell” case/heavy gig bag while still providing great padding and protection. It suits the majority of my traveling needs and is so much easier to deal with.
When you hear “They don’t make ‘em like that anymore”…point to this and say “yes they do.”
So have had the Guitar Satchel for a week now and have used it for 5 different gigs. Perfection is all I can say. Best gig bag I have ever had.
GS showed up right on time. Love the quality of the materials, craftmanship, and all the pockets. Super sturdy, cleverly designed, and fits like a glove. It's sturdy enough to keep her out of harms way while traveling in planes, trains, and automobiles - nice job making this available.
