#398 - Hustle Culture is Bullsh*t

In this solo episode,  I explore the distinction between hustle culture excellence and actual excellence. I argue that hustle culture promotes a toxic mindset focused on competition and superficial success, leading to burnout and emptiness. In contrast, actual excellence is rooted in hard work, commitment, and self-discovery, emphasizing the importance of the journey over mere results.  - Timestamps:  00:00 Hustle Culture and Actual Excellence 02:51The Pursuit of Excellence Beyond Results 05:57 Talent, Genetics, and the Path to Excellence 09:00 The Importance of Commitment and Consistency 12:05 Pursuing Personal Excellence in a Distracted World - See discounts for all the products I use and recommend: https://everybodyspod.com/deals/ - Shop For Everybody  Use code SFE10 for 10% OFF 👉 https://shopforeverybody.com/ - Extra Stuff: Get my free guide to transform your life: AaronMachbitz.com/quit - To support me on Patreon (thank you): https://www.patreon.com/AaronMachbitz (Recorded on July 29th,  2025) Edited by Ben Rogerson (@BenRogerson_) - Get in touch:  iG: https://www.instagram.com/AaronMachbitz X: https://x.com/AaronMachbitz Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AMachbitz/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AaronMachbitz Email:  https://www.aaronmachbitz.com/contact/
