Benjamin Franklin

The Original Hustler and Practical Genius.

Franklin was the ultimate self-made man—printer, inventor, diplomat, and wisecracker rolled into one. He lived by hard work, curiosity, and a practical kind of wisdom that could fill a dozen dirt roads. His famous sayings still echo with common sense and grit.

Sure, he was a man of the Enlightenment and savvy politics, but Franklin’s roots were in the common man’s world, not ivory towers. He embraced the hustle and the humble grind with style and humor.

Verdict: SphstRDnck.
A true American original with salt-of-the-earth smarts.
