After 30 years, Victor Marquez and I finally sit down for a long-overdue conversation. Both proud graduates of Lehman High School, Victor has spent the last 26 years building and running The HUT on Williamsbridge Road—an iconic staple in the Bronx and a true hub for hip-hop culture.

In this episode, we talk about entrepreneurship, the grind of being an owner-operator, and how that journey can feel isolating and often misunderstood. Vic’s been curating culture in the BX long before it was cool, and his story is one of resilience, purpose, and pride.

Tap in as we reflect, reconnect, and talk real life while we’re “Working, never jerking!”
