Send us a textEpisode Summary:Ladies, we've been fed a lot of garbage about what it takes to be successful. Hustle harder. Sleep less. Do it all yourself. Sacrifice your sanity to build something “great.” Well, I'm calling BS on all of that.This week on the Ladies Kickin' Ass Podcast, I'm breaking down the 4 Big Lies of Hustle Culture and sharing how you can still build a thriving, successful business without burning yourself out. We're doing things different in 2025—and that means protecting your health, your peace, your time, and your energy.We're Dishing On:

Margo is joined by business coach and podcast host Nikita Williams in a conversation on building a business—and a life—that honors your whole self. Living with multiple chronic illnesses, Nikita has learned how to redefine success, make peace with limitations, and turn her lived experience into a source of power and purpose. She and Margo explore what it looks like to craft a creative path that makes space for rest, joy, and authenticity—without burning out or hiding who you are. They discuss the real and raw journey of navigating health challenges as a creative woman of color, how podcasting became a lifeline and legacy, and the importance of building businesses based on actual capacity. Nikita invites listeners to rethink hustle culture and embrace the art of doing what you can, when you can—with intention, honesty, and hope.   Margo and Nikita discuss: How living with chronic illness shapes identity, business, and self-advocacy Turning your limits into superpowers—what resilience really looks like The unique layers of being a woman of color with invisible illnesses The three phases of chronic illness: “newbie,” awareness, and OG Designing a business around your capacity (not your ideal self) Why storytelling and being witnessed are critical for healing Moving from hustle to harmony: redefining productivity and rest Structuring your work and life to honor flare days and energy rhythms Managing comparison, creative permission, and celebrating your own pace Connect with Nikita: www.thrivewithnikita.com www.instagram.com/thrivewithnikita https://www.craftedtothrive.com/   Connect with Margo: www.windowsillchats.com www.instagram.com/windowsillchats www.patreon.com/inthewindowsill

Value is based in what you produce = hustle culture Pitfalls of hunger to create and make an impact on world. Make money, make a lot, make it fast Sustainable success comes from the opposite place Mindset is more important, untangle perfectionism and hustle culture Generational/societal = capitalism ranked over all; "You are only valuable and worthy if you make money." You can't rest because ...  If you do more, you make more money. We aren't machines. Burnout. Less effective. Care for yourself so you CAN work.  Mindset breeds shame is what drives the hustle culture . Anti-hustle is about separating mindset from the "norm." What did you do to separate and feel worthy? 1. Come down to earth: what are the stakes? Writing is not life/death situation. If I don't ..., then I'm not worthy and I'm gonna die. (Start reframe it) 2. Awareness. Hustle culture. Learn the opposite. (Amy McNee - We Need Your Art) Ask where these thoughts are coming from? Follow the threads. Reparenting inner child. Catch the thoughts in the moment. What's my programming? 1st thought: programming, 2nd thought: what I really believe. Talking to coworkers and family about "letting them down." 3. Join a community interested in anti-hustle. Reframe daily. 4. Devon Price "Laziness Does Not Exist", "Burnout" (Nagaski sisters) 5. Affirmations 6. What is your brain trying to tell you?  Rest is a learned thing. The Power of Ritual (Casper ter Kuile)  We all rest differently.  The tenants of anti-hustle culture: Worth is not tied to our output. Your success isn't determined by someone else's standards. Body and Brain deserve rest.   "I don't have time to learn how to rest."

248: In this episode, I'm joined by my dear friend Krista Williams, cofounder of Almost 30, for a vulnerable conversation about body image, conscious eating, and healing our relationship with food. We explore how waking up to the way we nourish ourselves can shift how we show up in every area of life. Krista and I also talk about the danger of hustle culture, over-exercising, and the pressure to “fix” our bodies. Her insights are deeply grounding, and I'm so excited for you to hear this conversation that left me feeling more connected, present, and whole. Topics Discussed: How do I heal my relationship with food and body image? What is conscious eating and how can it improve my health? Is over-exercising harmful to your body and mental health? How does hustle culture impact women's health and self-worth? What's the connection between emotional eating and mental health?

Scott shares his raw journey: from launching 10 companies and selling eight to hitting a wall of exhaustion that sleep, weekends, and vacations couldn't fix. You'll discover why the very grit and hustle that fuel growth in the early days can quietly transform into a ceiling on your revenue—and even endanger your health and business. Scott unpacks the subtle signals leaders often miss, explains why hustle culture is not a strategy for scalable success, and reveals actionable techniques, like his 5-second R&R method, to break the burnout cycle quickly. If you're secretly feeling stuck, tired, or can't scale past that next revenue milestone, this conversation will challenge everything you think you know about perseverance, leadership, and growth. Tune in to learn how saying no and letting go might be your smartest business move this year. Some areas we explore in this episode include: Scott Anderson's Personal Burnout Experience: How Scott recognized his own burnout and began seeking solutions.Burnout in High Achievers: Why successful professionals are especially at risk of burnout.The Double-Edged Sword of Perseverance: How traits that drive business success can also lead to burnout.Scaling Challenges and Revenue Plateaus: Mistakes entrepreneurs make when trying to grow their businesses beyond early milestones.Early Warning Signs of Burnout: Key symptoms and overlooked indicators of burnout in leaders.Delegation and Building Systems: The need for founders to delegate and build scalable systems to prevent burnout and enable growth.Shifting Leadership Mindsets: Moving from founder-centric leadership to a more humble, team-oriented approach.Hustle Culture vs. Sustainable Growth: Debunking the myth that nonstop hustling leads to long-term success.Practical Burnout Prevention Techniques: Tools like the R and R Technique for managing stress on the go.Implementing the Burnout Breakthrough Method: How Scott's approach boosts cognitive capacity and resilience for leaders and their teams.And much, much more...

We're mixing heavy recommendations with a sprinkle of lighter ones this week, and we're chatting all about Soft Life... The Soft Life Aesthetic is supposed to be the antidote to Hustle Culture, the idea is to have more self-compassion, more intentionality, slow mornings and effortless routines. But the very nature of this curated trend means there is a lot of hypocrisy and privilege in what the soft life aesthetic stands for and the nature of creating content online means it is far from effortless. But there are some fundamentals of this trend that are important and speak to a wider craving of our generation for a more gentle, slower and compassionate lifestyle.

In this episode, I'm unpacking the weight of hustle culture—especially how it shows up for first-gen Latinas like me. That constant pressure to be productive, to prove we belong, to carry our families and represent our communities—it's heavy. And let's be honest, it can burn us out. I talk about what it feels like to be emotionally tied to expectations we never signed up for, and how I'm learning to redefine success in a way that actually feels good. Not performative, not just for show—but real, aligned, and rooted in self-care. Because a life that just looks successful isn't enough. Welcome to the show!

If you're powering through your day like a caffeine-fueled robot with no off switch—stop. Your brain and body are not machines. We are more like rechargeable batteries, but we need to recharge.  On this episode of Crina and Kirsten Get to Work, our hosts discuss giving IT (all of IT) a rest.   SHOW NOTES A break is not a luxury—it's a necessity. A German study found that we respond to physical overload with back, neck and shoulder pain.  Our bodies are talking to us, but are we listening?  And our brains do something similar - short-circuiting into anger, passivity, or full shutdown mode (hi, doom scrolling in the bathroom).  Breaks help avoid those responses - and in fact are alarms from our bodies, brains and souls that we need to give it a minute (and maybe lots more)  While there is nothing wrong with guilty social media scrolls or fake “I'm just checking email” moments, we need actual pauses—time for your body and mind to reset. We may think that breaks are the enemy of productivity—but research says breaks are golden ticket to performance and productivity. Breaks replenish glucose, reduce stress hormones, and activate the brain's “default mode network,” a magical zone responsible for creativity, introspection, and those “aha” moments (yes, even Pixar movies have emerged from a well-timed lunch break). And it's not just your brain that benefits. Animal shelter workers who took breaks lasted longer in their careers, and team breaks build trust and improve collaboration. Even short “microbreaks” matter—especially when they come after tough meetings or demanding tasks. The barriers? Hustle culture, guilt, tech, and the glorification of burnout. But changing the narrative around unproductive time is crucial. Walk.  Get out in nature - heck, check out those orca videos.  Stretch. Nap. Stare at trees. Laugh at a meme. Walk your dog. Daydream. Call your mom. Whatever recharges you. Because the ultimate flex isn't grinding 24/7—it's knowing when to step away.  Good Reads: A Guide to Taking Better Breaks at Work – Harvard Business Review, Feb 2025 How to Take Better Breaks at Work, According to Research – Harvard Business Review, May 2023 Impact of Recovery Breaks on Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders – Applied Ergonomics, 2023 The Distracted Mind: Ancient Brains in a High-Tech World, Rosen & Gazzaley

In this inspiring episode, Rip sits down with Heidi Farina to hear how she went from college athlete and biotech manager, to full-time artist and plant-based advocate. After experiencing deep personal loss and burnout during the pandemic, Heidi realized something had to give. What followed was a powerful transformation rooted in health, healing, and rediscovery.Heidi opens up about her decision to embrace a whole food plant-based lifestyle, how it helped her reclaim her energy and creativity, and what it really took to step away from a life that no longer aligned with her values. She shares the emotional journey of balancing motherhood, grief, and self-care—and how she now prioritizes mental health and boundaries while pursuing a life that truly feels like her own.She discusses:The impact of family's health history on her wellness journeyThe moment she knew she needed to make a major life changeHow switching to a whole food plant-based diet jump-started her healingFinding the courage to go “all in,” regardless of criticism and opinions of othersWhat it takes to rebuild your identity after burnout and lossTips for setting boundaries and creating a life of balanceWhy it's never too late to start over and pursue what lights you upEpisode WebpageWatch the Episode on YouTube

I used to be the guy who wore a “HUSTLE” shirt unironically and believed burnout was just part of the process. Fourteen-hour days? Normal. Skipping meals? Efficient. Chasing the next milestone without stopping to ask why? Standard practice. But at some point, the question hit me: What is it all for? In this episode, I reflect on the shift from chasing more to seeking meaning.For more go to: www.scottmlynch.comLevel up your life by joining my Patreon where you'll get exclusive content every week and more badass offerings (rips t-shirt in half, Hulk Hogan style, and runs around the room). And/or…Unlock practical and tactical insights on how to master your mindset and optimize your happiness directly to your inbox.If you're a glutton for punishment and want more swift kicks in the mind follow me on social:InstagramYouTubeLeave a review and tell me how I suck so I can stop doing that or you can also tell me about things you like.

Billy Gene is a trailblazing marketing genius, entrepreneur, and educator renowned for his dynamic approach to online advertising and business growth. Having helped thousands of entrepreneurs and major brands like Kia, Massage Envy, and Procter & Gamble, Billy Gene is celebrated for turning high-level marketing strategies into accessible, actionable advice. With a passion for leveraging AI and automation, he focuses on empowering everyday business owners to scale, automate, and dominate their industries— all while encouraging them to show up authentically and unapologetically. Takeaways: AI-Driven Opportunity: Automation and artificial intelligence are revolutionizing marketing, making powerful results accessible even for those without tech expertise. Helping small businesses implement AI solutions is a major, untapped opportunity. Be Authentically You: The biggest mistake people make in ads is losing their personality and becoming robotic on camera. Authenticity and showing your true self are what drive connection and sales. Ask More, Scale More: If you want to scale your business, you need to amplify how often you ask people to buy—especially through simple, scalable video ads instead of relying on old-school hustle. Sound Bites: "Most business owners are either too busy or too lazy or just simply unwilling to learn something new... but with AI, you do not have to be techy anymore." "If you can use artificial intelligence to make that content with them, to follow up for them... what's that worth to you? Thousands of dollars a month? Of course it is." "The simplest strategy is: ask more people to buy by using video, because video can scale infinitely in anywhere around the world. That is the answer." Quote by Mick Hunt: "Side hustle is great, but strategy is important. The hustle culture at some point has to evolve to, 'I can do what the heck I want to do.'"

Scott sits down with longtime friend, journalist, and cultural critic John McDermott for a no-holds-barred conversation on the rise of the grift economy. John and Scott re-trace the evolution of modern hustle culture to unpack the cult of tech founders, the blurred lines between personal branding and deception, and why irrational self-confidence is both a feature and a bug of startup life. Along the way, the duo riff on everything from J.R. Smith's delusional greatness to Mark Zuckerberg's masculinity arc, fake wellness routines, and the eerie emergence of AI-driven misinformation. John shares what it was like to go toe-to-toe with Jay Shetty, the media's retreat from accountability, and how we're all becoming lone agents in a broken information ecosystem. It's a sharp, funny, and sobering look at an era where everything is a grift—and everyone's a brand. What You'll Learn: -- Why the “rise and grind” founder archetype is built on delusion -- How fake personas thrive in a media landscape with no referees -- Why we're only at the beginning of the grift era—and how AI will amplify it -- What snake oil salesmen of the 1900s can teach us about today's digital hucksters Support the show (and your wallet) by creating a free account at Kingscrowd.com Follow John McDermott on Twitter @McDermott Follow Scott on IG/Twitter @Kitun

"There are way easier places to work, but nobody ever changed the world on 40 hours a week." That's exactly what Elon Musk tweeted in November 2018, as part of a call for new talent to join his companies. The post went viral, leading to a lot of people critiquing Musk's take on work and merit. Despite the criticism he faced, a lot of people, and followers of hustle culture in particular, stood firmly behind him. Hustle culture essentially glorifies putting in excessive effort at work, often at the expense of health and personal relationships. In this mindset, our identity becomes intertwined with our work role, with work being seen not as a means to a comfortable life but as an end in itself. When did the trend of hustle culture really kick off? Is there a shift happening? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

In today's episode, I'm joined by executive productivity coach and WSJ bestselling author, Demir Bentley. We dive deep into hustle culture, burnout, and how to truly win your week. You'll learn how working less (yes, really) can lead to more sustainable success, especially if you're building a service-based business. Demir shares the exact steps he used to transition from burnout to balance while growing a thriving business.We discuss why most people don't plan their week effectively and what you can do about it. Demir shares his full “Winning the Week” method and we explore how strategy, intentionality, and sustainable planning create space for the kind of business and life you actually want. If you're looking to grow your business without burning out, this episode is for you.Guest IntroductionDemir Bentley is a top executive productivity coach and the co-founder of Life Hack Method. He's the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Winning the Week and helps high-performing entrepreneurs and coaches work less while achieving more. After experiencing burnout in his former high-stakes Wall Street career, Demir completely transformed how he worked—and now he helps others do the same.He's guided thousands of entrepreneurs to build high-performance habits without sacrificing their health or happiness. His systems are especially powerful for entrepreneurs who are scaling their businesses while navigating the complexities of time, energy, and output.The Lie of Hustle Culture—and What Actually Works - Key TakeawaysHustle culture is not the answer—it's the problem. Real success isn't about more hours, it's about more leverage and intention. Demir's story is a powerful reminder that sustainability is the key to high performance. Burnout is not required for building a successful business—it's a red flag.Planning your week is your number one productivity superpower, especially as a business owner managing both client work and business growth. If you're not hitting all the necessary “bases” in your weekly planning, you're already behind. The right planning system creates consistency, energy, and momentum that fuels long-term growth.The Real Root of BurnoutBurnout isn't just about a busy calendar—it's about a broken belief system. As entrepreneurs, we often feel pressure to equate effort with value. But the truth is, working smarter—not harder—is the real game-changer. Hustle culture is built on outdated myths about worth, productivity, and success.Social media glorifies hustle and overwork, especially in the online business world. But Demir's approach is a fresh, empowering alternative—one that allows business owners to scale with clarity instead of chaos.The Biggest Misconception About Hustle CultureMany entrepreneurs believe they can simply outwork the competition. But at what cost? If you want to build a business you'll sustain for 10, 20, or 30 years, the hustle model isn't the answer. Most people burn out right before they begin reaping the benefits of their hard-earned momentum.This conversation reframes the hustle: sustainability isn't optional—it's essential. If you want to scale your business while protecting your energy and creativity, working fewer but more intentional hours is the way forward.The Solution: The Winning the Week MethodMost entrepreneurs only plan their week partially—they focus on client calls or content creation but miss deeper strategy work. Demir's Winning the Week method is all about creating a repeatable weekly system that hits every area of your life and business.When Demir implemented this method, he cut his workweek in half—from 90 hours to just over 40—without losing momentum. This isn't about doing less; it's about planning better. That mindset shift is business owners juggling business growth, marketing, and client delivery.The 6 Steps to...
