Book Clubs
Do the Hustle offers a rare, high-energy blend of 1970s disco culture, elite NCAA athletics, and high-stakes corporate strategy that provides endless fodder for book club discussions. Don Kurz’s journey is not a typical “straight line to success” but a transparent account of making and losing multiple fortunes, navigating a painful divorce, and surviving boardroom coups. This vulnerability opens the door for meaningful group conversations about resilience, the “sunk-cost fallacy” in personal relationships, and Kurz’s provocative life philosophy: that you must pivot the moment your passion wanes because “you can’t will an erection”. Whether debating the “We, Not I” team mentality or Kurz’s admission that his own pride often overruled his “gut algorithm,” members will find relatable lessons in his “bruises and scars”.
To further enrich your group’s experience, Don is eager to join the conversation via Zoom or in-person to share behind-the-scenes stories from Studio 54, the lacrosse field, and the Nasdaq, and to dive deeper into the algorithm for a happy and fulfilling life.
