The Cost of Hustle Culture No One Talks About: Your Family | Jeremy Pryor : 57
This episode originally aired live on July 8th, 2024.
Entrepreneur and family coach Jeremy Pryor joins host Joseph Lewin to challenge the default script of modern work and identity. Instead of optimizing life around career or “hustle culture,” Jeremy makes the case for a family-centered model—ordering our identities (father/mother first, worker/entrepreneur second), designing businesses that integrate home life, and building assets that create time freedom across generations. They unpack why Western individualism often strains marriages and children, how to recalibrate using “identity dials,” and a practical three-business path (freedom, scale, legacy) to support a multi-generational family team.
What you’ll learn- Why “life isn’t a single-player game” and how that reorders work, marriage, and parenting
- The difference between vocation and career—and why father/mother should be your primary identity
- How to design a business that supports family rhythms (think: dinner together, shared work)
- A practical framework for moving from a paycheck to family-owned assets
- How to avoid the cultural pendulum swings (hustle culture vs. gender “warfare”) and build unity around children’s flourishing
Key ideas & takeaways
- Order of identities matters: father/mother > worker/entrepreneur. The order changes decisions—even when you choose to work long hours.
- Integration over isolation: accept a little “inefficiency” (e.g., 5%) in the business to keep family integrated.
- Think in decades: design today’s business for the lifestyle you want in your 50s and for adult children/grandchildren.
The 3-business stool:
- Freedom Business (service; pays bills now)
- Scale Business (decouples income from hours)
- Legacy Business (capital assets the family can steward together)
Memorable quotes
- “Life isn’t a single-player game—it’s designed to be family-centered.”
- “Order your identities. If fatherhood is first, your work decisions will look different.”
- “As an owner, you can choose a little inefficiency to gain family integration.”
- “Don’t chase unicorns—build a stable stool: freedom, scale, and legacy.”
