Why “Slow Living” Might Be the Smartest Business Strategy


Listen Later

In a world that glorifies being “always on,” Spencer Woods has built a successful career by doing the opposite.

As a marketing founder who lives online, Spencer has seen the highs and lows of digital culture, from chasing metrics and burnout to rediscovering peace in silence.

This episode is part therapy, part truth bomb. It’s about redefining success beyond money, metrics, and notifications.

It's every single bit about why I started this podcast!


We dive into:
◼️ The real difference between hustle culture and slow living.
◼️ Why your phone became your comfort blanket (and how to let go).
◼️ How to measure success when there’s no job title to climb.
◼️ The unseen power of gratitude, reflection, and small wins.
◼️ The truth about social media and how to make it work for you, not against you.
◼️ Why joy is found in scarcity, not speed.


If you’ve ever felt burnt out, overstimulated, or addicted to progress, this one’s your Sunday reset!
