In a recent blog, Jordan talked about “hustle culture” and how it affects our mental and physical well-being, and quality of life. Hustle culture is a term used to refer to the “rise and grind” attitude of work, work, work. It is what Jordan calls the “the ethos of constantly working your butt off in the pursuit of some vague goal, no matter the cost”.
