S01EP7: With Ruth, founder of the Anti-Hustle Project

After living in London and working in the rat-race, podcast guest Ruth, founder of the Anti-Hustle Project, made the conscious decision to leave the city and start doing work she felt more passionate about, at a pace that suited her so she could have more time and flexibility to simply live life. But this dream slowly turned into a nightmare as Ruth got sucked deeper into hustle culture, following all of the advice out there about what you need to do to set-up an online business and what it means for that business to be "successful".

This resulted in Ruth experiencing complete burnout and resenting her coaching work, so she closed the business and instead started to reflect on the impact hustle culture is having on all of us and whether it is actually possible to live an anti-hustle life. And out of this question, the anti-hustle project was born.

Learning to be podcast host, Amy Houldey talks to Ruth about her journey so far. Their conversation touches on many different topics from being open about money and how people fund their online businesses, to career and how this plays such an important part in our identity, as well as battling between wanting to earn money but not at the expense of everything else, and the importance of actually being content rather than always looking to the next goal.

Enjoy!
