The Productivity Paradox: How Hustle Culture is Toxic

Hustle Harder. Respect the Hustle. Good Things Come To Those Who Hustle.

For the past few years (and even in 2020), we've been constantly fed a message to hustle. On YouTube and Instagram and even our own homes, we are told to work hard, to be successful, to 'make that bread.' Because of that, I know I've been willing to put my health and relationships on the line for the #hustle, to 'keep grinding.' So in today's video, I'm going to deconstruct hustle culture and explore the productivity paradox.
