The toxic hustle culture sold by Silicon Valley isn't just unhealthy, it's often unprofitable. In this episode, Personal Growth Advisor Brad Farris joins me to dismantle the "grind" mindset. We explore why overworking kills the creativity needed for breakthroughs , and how things like sleep, exercise, and hobbies are actually critical tools for productivity and sustainable success. If you're an entrepreneur chasing growth without burning out, this conversation will shift your entire approach to work. Check out the company: https://anchoradvisors.com
