ARE YOU A CULTURE HUSTLER?
YOU reject the “starving artist” myth
You believe that anyone can make a living while making art. Your creativity makes the world a better place, and you insist on being compensated for your contributions.
YOU refuse to “sell out”
You believe you can make a difference without having to be a different person. You believe no one is a sell out if they define and live by their own values.
YOU know there’s room for everyone
You don’t believe in zero-sum competition or hierarchies. You believe every creator has a unique voice and there’s room and resources for all who choose the creative path.
DO YOU HAVE DISEMPOWERING BELIEFS?
Do you think you have to be rich or famous?
There’s a lot of toxic messaging, flexing and FOMO going around. Culture Hustlers is a movement of artists who seek impact over fame, and people over profit.
do you feel like an imposter?
Most of us struggle with imposter syndrome. There are professional actors who still get stage fright, and professional athletes who throw up before the big game. It’s normal.
Do you struggle with terminal uniqueness?
The harshest irony is that so many artists feel alone in how alone they feel. We believe that deep enough within the personal, therein lies the universal. In other words, what makes you a misfit is your super power.
Culture Hustlers is a business school for creators, by creators. It’s not didactic, it’s collaborative. It’s not theoretical, it’s practical. It’s not hierarchical, it’s about power-sharing. Since 2018, we’ve had over 100 creatives from 35 states and 12 countries in our cohorts.
