What if working less wasn’t a reward you earn someday — but a skill you consciously build?

In this end-of-year episode of the Regenerative Business Podcast, Sam Garcia explores why so many business owners — including brand-new entrepreneurs — are working 40–60 hour weeks without seeing results, and how much of that “work” is actually inherited conditioning, mental spiraling, or effort that doesn’t matter.

Recorded just after Winter Solstice and released on Christmas, this conversation weaves together seasonal reflection, somatic awareness, and very practical business strategy to answer one essential question:

What actually creates money in your business — and what doesn’t?

You’ll hear Sam unpack:

• Why overwork is not proof of commitment, but proof of conditioning
• How hustle gets semantically encoded in the body (even if you’ve never had a corporate job)
• The difference between working and filling time
• Why “money-generating activities” aren’t bro marketing — they’re basic business literacy
• What brand-new entrepreneurs should focus on instead of courses, branding tweaks, and research spirals
• How lowering prices to get real experience can be more valuable than endless preparation
• The power of identifying your true leverage points (and deleting everything else)
• Why constant reinvention keeps you exhausted — and iteration builds ease, reputation, and compounding results
• A simple framework for deciding what only you should do, what can be delegated, and what shouldn’t exist at all

If you’re craving more spaciousness, clarity, and sustainability in your work — whether you’re in your first year of business or your tenth — this episode offers a grounded, regenerative approach to making more money without sacrificing your nervous system, creativity, or life.

Working less isn’t laziness. It’s discernment.
