136. Mindful Hustling with Matt Lebris
Many people tend to believe that professional success is measured by the amount of money in their bank account and that the harder they work the more successful they’ll become, but what happens when that type of “hustle harder” mentality leaves you burned out and disenchanted? This week’s guest suggests there is an alternative that offers a balance between hard work and success. Today we speak to Matt LeBris on the topic of “Mindful Hustling.” Matt suggests, through his own experiences, that he’s learned over the years, how to apply mindfulness to his natural mentality to hustle for what he wants and how the challenges he was facing five years ago personally, pursuing therapy for the first time, as well as the launch of his podcast were catalysts for his own transformational shift.
