The Hustler Ethos

This week we start with the shifting AI landscape — Google’s Gemini resurgence, OpenAI’s monetization dilemma, and the rise of AI slop — before moving into a broader conversation about hustlers.

We get into why America attracts them, how the term was coopted and branded, why competitive instinct sits at the center of real hustle, and how the changing nature of the economy will put a premium on hustling, for better or worse. Plus: Troy’s ‘eggsellent’ adventure at a Holiday Inn Express.
