Episode 1834:
Stephen Warley challenges the hustle culture by making a case for slow, intentional work that prioritizes meaning and sustainability over constant busyness. He shares how slowing down can unlock deeper creativity, reduce burnout, and help you align your work with the life you truly want to live.

Quotes to ponder:
"Slow work is about working with intention and creating space to reflect, rest and recharge."
"When you work slower, you are more present and better able to enjoy the process, rather than just racing toward the outcome."
"Busyness is not the same thing as productivity."
