Summary

Hustle is stupid. I leanred this the hard way. Without the right focus and vision, burning the candle at both ends will only leave you burnt out and unable to do what matters most to you. It won’t get you what you want (not really) and certainly won’t make you happy.

In this episode, we dive into some hard earned lessons, and a quick reminder of how to stay in the long-game that is our career.

Enjoy!

0:00.0	Hey, welcome to the show. Guess what? Hustle is stupid. Now, hold on. You're saying,
0:11.8	what time out? I was told to hustle, and I had to hustle to make, you know, my dreams come true.
0:16.9	And to be clear, you got to work hard. And maybe in the old definition of hustle, as in
0:24.9	work hard, that is true. However, hustle has come to mean a different thing. It has come to mean
0:31.9	perhaps even movement with no progress. So this is a reminder that without the right focus and vision,
0:40.2	burning the candle at both ends is really only going to leave you burnt out and unable to do
0:45.4	what matters most to you. It will not get you what you want, not really, that is, and what I
0:53.6	know for sure is that it will make you happy. If you don't
0:56.1	believe me, I didn't either. I didn't either until a few years ago when I had what I would
1:03.8	consider to be a wake-up call after habitually sleeping for five to six hours max and working up to 20 hours a day. I think it's fair to say I was a

1:22.6	Hawaii where I spent the next two weeks with zero things on my schedule, with nothing on my schedule.
1:29.9	Now, for the first few days of that, I would say for the first six days, I slept 14 hours a night.
1:40.0	This changed everything for me.
1:49.9	I became aware that after 14 hours of sleep for six days in a row,
1:53.2	now again, I'm not advocating that you do that all the time, but clearly I was operating at a deficit,
1:55.7	but getting real sleep for some extended period of time changed everything. I became aware that I was
2:04.2	nicer. I was way more creative, way more self-aware in touch with my own wants and needs,
2:12.6	and I simply felt more alive. It's a big statement. I get it. I get it. But what that experience did
2:20.3	a number of years ago, it kicked me into a mode where I have since that time tracked my sleep
2:26.7	every single night. And I do now everything I can to spend up to eight hours a night in bed. I target that. I target eight hours
2:38.4	between the sheets. Sometimes it can be a little bit more. Occasionally it's a little bit less.
