EP28: Hustle Culture, Side Hustles, and the Fed’s Market Games

Roger and Richard dive into the truth about hustle culture why working 24/7 isn’t the answer, why most side hustles fail, and the signals to know when it’s time to double down or walk away. They share personal stories, debate the “focus on one thing” rule, and outline practical criteria for leaving a full-time job to go all in on a side hustle.The conversation then shifts to markets: the worst jobs revision in 25 years, whether the Fed’s next rate cut sparks a rally or a sell-off, and what private equity’s push into 401(k)s could mean for everyday investors. They also discuss the risks of middle-market exits, the illusion of dry powder, and how AI-driven platforms are reshaping both entrepreneurship and investing.
