  • American Self-Reliace is a Toxic Myth with Adam Chandler

    American Self-Reliace is a Toxic Myth with Adam Chandler
    Jan 22 2025

    The phrase "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" actually started as a joke—because, let’s face it, it’s physically impossible. So how did this absurd notion become one of the most unshakable ideas in American culture? The truth is, the ideals of self-reliance and hustle have always been more myth than reality. This week, Adam sits down with Adam Chandler, author of 99% Perspiration, to explore how the myth of hard work and hustle culture has been weaponized to keep the rich richer, while the rest of us are left struggling in a system rigged against us.

First step into podcasting

I was growing tired of listening to the same audio books over and over - and forgetting to renew my library card so I could indulge in new books. I enjoyed watching Adam on TV, so I chose this channel and this episode as a start. Very interesting topic, as well as informative. The titles of the cohorts has always confused me.
