The Market Hustle
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.

Vangelis (an Investor from Greece) Shares His First-Year Investing Journey Ep. 54
In this episode, I sit down with Vangelis (an investor from Greece) to unpack his first year of investing.
We talk about:
- Why money is taboo and how the 1999 stock market crash still shapes how people see investing today.
- From grandparents teaching him delayed gratification to saving for years to buy his first PS3 and how those habits set the stage for his future.
- How Vangelis moved from saving → gambling in crypto → finally building a disciplined ETF-based portfolio.
- Why training in the gym and investing share the same formula: discipline, patience, and avoiding shortcuts.
His story proves that even if you grow up in a culture where money isn’t talked about, you can rewrite the script.
