In this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde breaks down the difference between being busy and being effective—and how to build sustainable excellence without falling into hustle culture. Are your days packed, but your outcomes unclear? Which meetings, messages, or "urgent" tasks are stealing your best energy? What would change if you measured impact instead of activity?
