Time, Fuel, & Money
Time, Fuel, and Money is a podcast born from a shared moment of joyful human connection—one that sparked curiosity, wonder, and a deep appreciation for the world around us. Through conversations inspired by our love of cars, racing, timekeeping, and the energy in motion that drives progress, we explore the intersections of science, business, and money—not as cold, calculated elements, but as deeply personal experiences.
We believe that business is personal, that time is more than just numbers on a watch, and that speed is more than just physics—it’s emotion, ambition, and the thrill of the chase. Join us as we venture beyond the measurable, diving into the stories, ideas, and passions that fuel our lives.

Episode 9 – The Art of Hustle: Presence, Pressure & the Performance Trap
Is hustle a badge of honor or a mask we wear? In this episode, we dissect the meaning behind “hustle culture” — from its Dutch roots to its modern-day startup glow-up.
Deb, Vassili, and Karim explore the tension between urgency and awareness, the invisible weight of comparison, and whether hustle is a productive force or a coping mechanism disguised as ambition.
Together, we question:
- Can you be fully present and still hustle?
- Is procrastination just misunderstood energy conservation?
- What happens when your “grind” becomes performative?
We wrap with a reminder: life isn’t a sprint — it’s a lap-by-lap race where intentional presence wins every time.
🔧 Tune in to reframe your relationship with effort, pace, and purpose.
