Hustling with HargesHumility is for SuckazCourtney and Tyrone set modesty aside to imagine what life looks like when the basics are covered and there’s more than enough to go around. They get into the details of what they’d actually do with abundance—what they’d buy, how they’d live, and which over-the-top choices feel the most tempting.
Along the way, they talk about the TV shows, movies, and cultural moments that shaped their ideas of luxury, while calling out the humor and contradictions in how we dream about money. It’s a conversation that swings from practical to ridiculous the only way...

Hustling with HargesWhat Would Elle Woods Do?Halfway through our first season, we’re reflecting on life paths, detours, and the myth of “doing it right.” Using Legally Blonde as our unofficial guide, we unpack the pressure to follow the “best” path and why so-called “wrong” turns can lead you exactly where you’re meant to be.

Hustling with HargesMama, We Made It! On Success and PreparationWhat does it actually mean to “make it”? And what happens when you get there and still feel like you’re waiting for the real moment to arrive?

Hustling with HargesTrust the Process: Creative Burnout, Honest Feedback, and Building Real Community as Black ArtistsIn this episode, Courtney and Ty get real about the messy, magical process of being a creative—especially when the work doesn’t land like you hoped. From navigating tough feedback to unlearning the “no new friends” mindset, they dig into what it means to grow with intention, not ego.
They also go off on casting rumors (50 Cent as Balrog?!), share guilty pleasures (drone shots and Bond intros), and break down how self-promotion can feel more like play than pressure.
This episode is a reminder: growth takes trust, feedback is a gift, and your people are out...

Hustling with HargesSinny Sin Sin: A Deep Dive Into Sinners, Inspiration, and Media that Made UsIn this episode, we break down the themes, filmmaking, and cultural commentary in Sinners, a powerful new horror film. Full of spoilers, laughter, and deep insight into art and identity.
We explore the film’s core themes: art as spiritual power, cultural extraction disguised as fellowship, and how horror can be used to tell deep, layered stories about race, history, and ownership. You’ll also hear about sibling dynamics (fictional and real), cinematic shout-outs, and media that’s been fueling their creativity lately. Oh—and we may or may not launch a campaign for an all-women Expendables reboot.
