In this episode of the Honest Property Podcast, Becky and Ruth open up about hustle culture, productivity myths, and what it really means to create a business — and life — that feels good.

They share personal reflections on how parenthood, cultural shifts, and living abroad have reshaped their view of success. From rejecting the constant pressure to “do more” to embracing a slower, more intentional pace, this conversation is about building sustainable wealth and happiness on your own terms.

What you’ll learn:

Why hustle culture leads to burnout and dissatisfaction

How to swap “more” for “better” in both property and entrepreneurship

The role of community in creating a fulfilling business

How cultural shifts can reset your productivity mindset

Why sustainable business models matter for long-term success

It’s a reminder that less is often more — and that the real goal isn’t just success, but enjoyment.

This conversation is inspired by  @mattdavella  's latest video:
