I Shouldn't Say This, But … this podcast has taught my more than I could have ever imagined. And this episode is going to be my last. At least for a while. When I started the podcast 4 years ago, I couldn't have imagined the journey it would take me on, the conversations it would generate or the relationships it would help me foster. Steven Bartlett had tasked me with creating a brand for myself, and I was determined to give it purpose beyond simply being a KPI. As I sat down to record this episode, I knew that goal had been achieved. So I hope you enjoy this trip down memory lane. And I hope it gives you an insight into why I do this, and I what I want to do next. As always, thank you for listening.

This episode was inspired by a quote by another podcaster Katy Leeson, and it reads, “We need to stop glamorizing over-working. Please. The absence of sleep, good diet, exercise, relaxation, and time with friends and family isn't something to be applauded. Too many people wear their burnouts as a badge of honour. And it needs to change.” Well we got fired up, inspired, and we had to dive in! Get ready for some unconventional, possibly cancellable ideas :)! Why does hard work trigger some people? And yet when we don't share about our hard work people think we're slacking? And what is hard work really? Plus what is the actual measurement of hard work? Oh and how do sins play into it?

Let's be honest, most of us tend to proclaim to our friends that “social media is evil” at least once a week. But what if it's not? And what if the very way we look at social media is flawed?
