Independence is a beautiful thing. But sharing the path to independence is even better.
Karlie Hustle shocked a few folks in the entertainment world when she took to her Instagram account this past August to announce her departure from her Music Director job at Hot 97 shortly after Angie Martinez made the jump to crosstown rival Power 105. As the Music Director of the iconic hip-hop station Hot 97, she was responsible for kick starting careers with Who’s Next Live and the Summer Jam Festival Stage. During her radio career and time at Hot developed a rep for being a source of positive energy.
Karlie’s success and attitude should make scoring the next job easy, right? Instead of heading to the next corporate gig she decided to strike out on her own with her site KarlieHustle.comand launch an accessory line anchored by the Hustle Bowtie. You can see celebs like Questlove rocking them regularly. Now she’s getting folks talking again with the debut of her new web series “How to Quit Your Job.”
In episode one, Karlie bares some cold hard facts on how to stop working for someone else. This is a quick overview of the series goals and a peek into how she put things in place for herself to win. Her upbeat personality shines through during the four minutes of screen time as she talks about the simple things she got in order to make her move. Definitely worth a look if you’re trying to break the yoke of corporate America.
UPDATE: Karlie shows that the Hustle in her name is real and drops Episodes 2,3,4,5 and 6.
