Are you caught in the hustle culture trap—grinding harder but feeling like you’re drowning instead of moving forward?

In this episode, Stephen Puri—Hollywood veteran turned tech founder—shares what he’s learned from leading high-pressure teams in film studios and startups about where hustle helps, where it hurts, and how leaders can protect themselves from burnout.
