The Lie of Hustle Culture: Why Grinding Isn't the Answer
Is "rise and grind" really the path to greatness or just a trap we've all bought into?
In this episode of the Elevate Construction Podcast, Jason Schroeder breaks down the myth of hustle culture and why it's quietly hurting workers, families, and entire project teams. From 100-hour work weeks to toxic productivity mindsets, Jason shares personal stories, challenges a popular country song, and calls out the glorification of burnout that's been passed down as pride.
You'll hear about:
Why working harder isn't the same as working smarter.
How hustle culture is rooted in shame not strategy.
What lean construction teaches us about sustainable success.
A powerful alternative: flow productivity that protects your health, family, and results.
Whether you're on a job site, leading a crew, or running a company, this one's a game-changer.
