In 2024, we created the Inaugural Hustle100 to recognize those we feel have played the game of service. It may have been a foundation they started, a cause they fought for, their greatness in their field, speaking out for the voiceless, or standing up for what they believed was right, in the face of scrutiny from the world.
In other words, hustlers for humanity.
The following principles guided us in our process:
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 deliberation, we selected 100 individuals and teammates. No one on the list is perfect. None of us are. 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,
“The great man or woman is the
one in the midst of the crowd
keeping with perfect sweetness
the independence of solitude.”
We take this opportunity to honor you for your hustle. Play on, and keep hustling!
