Shownotes

Grab your coffee and settle in for this one! I'm sitting down face-to-face with Faye Jacobs - yes, actually across the desk from me, which is a first for Soul Leaders. We're diving into one of the most controversial topics in the coaching world: hustle culture.

You've heard me talk about burnout and boundaries, but Faye? She's a proud hustler. And before you roll your eyes, this conversation might just shift how you think about hard work, ambition, and what it actually takes to build something extraordinary. If you've been wondering whether you need to hustle harder or slow down, this episode will help you figure out what's right for YOU.

Key Topics Covered

In this honest, no-BS conversation, we explore:

  1. The difference between being a hustler vs. burning out in hustle culture
  2. Why extraordinary results require extraordinary effort (and what that actually means)
  3. Leadership lessons: managing vs. leading your team
  4. The ChatGPT trap and losing your authentic voice
  5. Building a business model that fits YOUR personality, not someone else's
