Hustle = play whole-heartedly

“Hustling for humanity” is playing full out for us all.

In honor of Hustlers’ 10th anniversary, we decided to launch our first annual Hustle100. This list is our way of recognizing those in the world we feel are playing team, leading by example, and doing their part to help the whole of humanity.

It may be a foundation they started, a cause they fight for, the greatness they exemplify in their field, speaking for the voiceless, or standing for what they believe is right, even in the face of the scrutiny of others.

We used the following to guide us in creating this list:

A Hustler for Humanity:

(1) Lives with Love
(2) Stands for Humanity
(3) Embodies Self-Reliance
(4) Catalyzes Change
(5) Innovates and Disrupts
(6) Actively Engages
(7) Is a Great Teammate
(8) Selflessly Serves Others
(9) Goes Above and Beyond
(10) Leaves it All on the Field

After much consideration and deliberation, we selected 100 individuals and teammates we feel embody what it means to hustle for humanity.

Make no mistake: No one on the list is perfect. Neither are those creating it! None of us are. After all, that’s what makes us human.

In a world that contrives to make us conform, it takes great courage to be unique, to speak the truth, to stand for your own beliefs, and to do what you know in your heart is right, even in the face of great opposition. As Waldo Emerson said,

“It is easy in the world to live
after the world’s opinion;
it is easy in solitude to live
after one’s own; but the
great man or woman is they
who in the midst of the crowd
keep with perfect sweetness
the independence of solitude.”

So we take this opportunity to honor you for your hustle — in life, in your field, for the planet, and for humanity. For that, we thank you, and we thank God for you!

Play on, and keep hustling!
