The Market Hustle

You work hard for your money, so make sure your money is working hard for you!

The Market Hustle is your roadmap for transforming from consumer to investor.

I’m Josh. Like many of you, I once stood on the outside of wealth-building looking in. When financial advisors turned me away for not having hundreds of thousands to invest, I didn’t give up.

Instead, I dedicated myself to mastering the markets, graduating from W.P. Carey School of Business, and transforming my financial future through hands-on experience.

What started as an Instagram page in 2018 has grown into a movement, helping thousands break free from financial confusion and step confidently into investing.

The Market Hustle isn’t just another financial podcast – it’s your practical guide to building real wealth, explained in a way that makes sense.

Each episode, alongside my co-hosts Baafi (@blacktycoontalk) and Pierce (@pierceywiercy), we break down:

Essential investing strategies anyone can use

How to think like an investor, not just a consumer

Real-world market insights without the Wall Street jargon

Actionable steps to put your money to work

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by the stock market or ready to level up your investing game, you’ve found your community. Join us as we build wealth together, one episode at a time.
