How did The Hustle begin?

The Hustle began as an email list and entrepreneurial conference started by Sam Parr, Erik Bahn, and Elizabeth Yin. Hustle Con began in 2014 and served as a place where startups and professionals could share business strategies. Parr used email to promote Hustle Con and through the original email chain, The Hustle came into fruition. Parr’s early Hustle days featured him writing multiple stories a week and sending them out through email as he did with Hustle Con. He wanted headlines that would effortlessly trend and gave his opinions through aliases he would create.
