Description
My name’s Josh.
I started investing over a decade ago after financial advisors turned me away because I didn’t have hundreds of thousands to invest.
Instead of giving up, I took things into my own hands by reading every book I could find, graduating from the W.P. Carey School of Business, and spending the last 10+ years learning, investing, and refining my approach.
I know how confusing the stock market can feel when you're just getting started. Between overcomplicated investing lingo, conflicting reddit advice, and the fear of losing money, it’s easy to stay stuck on the sidelines.
That’s why I created The Market Hustle. It’s the resource I wish I had when I started.
A no-BS beginner-friendly platform that simplifies investing.
The mission with The Market Hustle is to help you take control of your financial future and gives you the confidence to build long-term wealth without overcomplicating the process.
If you’re ready to break free from financial stress, start investing with clarity, and build a future where money is no longer a worry, you’re in the right place.

A common myth in investing is that more diversification is always better. Many investors (especially new ones) fall into the trap of becoming an "ETF collector." They hear about a dividend fund, a tech ETF, and a real estate fund, and they add them all to their portfolio, thinking they're being "safe." But what they're really doing is watering down their growth. In this solo episode, I break down the difference between being an "ETF collector" and an "intentional investor." Join Money M...
