Don Kurz has lived the kind of life that sounds almost too cinematic to be true: championship lacrosse at Johns Hopkins, nights inside the velvet haze of Studio 54, Wall Street wins and wipeouts, public-company boardrooms, hedge funds, creative agencies, reinvention after reinvention.
And yet, the most compelling part of his story isn’t the resume, it’s the honesty.
In the latest episode of Good Company, Michael Kassan sits down with his longtime friend for a candid, deeply human conversation sparked by Don’s new book, Do the Hustle. Together, they unpack the scars behind the successes, the danger of “fighting the tape,” the tension between gut instinct and data, and why the most valuable leadership lessons are usually learned the hard way.
It’s funny, vulnerable and remarkably timely for anyone navigating change, ambition, or uncertainty in business and life.

Last week, Miami played host to our industry in full force, bringing savvy leaders together for new connections and an unfiltered exchange of ideas.
From packed thought leadership sessions and strategic meetings to high-energy networking and our CONVENE executive dinner, 3C Ventures was proud to be at the center of it all.
Here’s a look at some of our favorite moments from POSSIBLE 2026.
#POSSIBLE #3CV
On Monday at POSSIBLE, we took over the Surf Club at Four Seasons to host the 3CONVENE executive dinner, alongside our incredible partners, Pinterest.
Candle light, ocean-breeze, delicious cuisine, and a room defined by the people in it. Thank you to everyone that joined us and brought the energy.
And to our exceptional 3CV CONVENE events team - flawless, as always.
A few glimpses from the night…
Great first day of programming at POSSIBLE … and we’re just getting started.
Tomorrow, 3C Ventures is back for a full slate of thought-leadership conversations across sports innovation, dealmaking, trust, transparency, and the state of the industry. See you there!
