The Hidden Costs of Being a Workaholic: America's Celebrated Addiction


Listen Later

This week Curt and Melody are naming the thing so many entrepreneurs quietly wrestle with: workaholism.

In a culture that glorifies the hustle, they ask, where’s the line between healthy drive and emotional avoidance?They swap stories of burnout, self-sabotage, and the tricky ways “freedom” can turn into just another excuse to stay busy.

Melody opens up about life after selling her first business (and why she still calls herself a recovering workaholic). Curt shares the year a product launch nearly broke him.

It’s a candid conversation about how busyness becomes a socially acceptable way to numb, and how to notice the signs before you burn out and hit the wall.

It's honest, funny, a little raw, and ultimately hopeful.

If you ever feel guilty for resting, this episode is definitely for you!
