In Our Conversation Today, We’re Exploring:

  • How Eric’s recent haircut inspired this episode

  • Is there a valid place for hustle culture in the business world or is it just too toxic?

  • What the term “hustle” actually means to both Nayla and Eric

  • The difference between “jelly bean tasks” and “roasted chicken tasks” and how they factor into defining what hustle means to ourselves

Are you lazy if you don’t hustle?

Are you going to burn out more quickly or easily if you do try to hustle?

Ask any seasoned professional what they think of their younger counterparts and you’ll almost certainly hear about how they don’t work as hard or put in as much effort as people used to.

Do a Google search for the word “hustle” and you’ll see item after item talking about how hustle culture is toxic.

So, what should we strive for in the workplace? Hustling and working toward the rewards that come with it or taking a more laid-back approach and going a more sustainable path?

In this episode, we’re diving into this nuanced topic and doing our best to figure out a way to hustle without harm.
