The Market Hustle

Right after college, I landed what most people would call a “secure” job. 

Good pay, solid benefits… but within a month, I knew I couldn’t stay. 

I had to make a decision most people avoid for decades.

In this episode, I walk you through the moment I realized that playing it safe was actually the most dangerous move I could make and how that decision sparked everything that became The Market Hustle.

Whether you’re stuck in indecision or second-guessing your path, this one will hit.
