In a society that glorifies the grind, what if the secret to true success lies in slowing down? Today, Justin welcomes listeners into a powerful conversation with Alan Briggs, leadership coach, speaker, and author, who challenges the hustle culture and offers a refreshing perspective on combating burnout while preserving your legacy. This episode is a wake-up call for anyone feeling overwhelmed by the constant pressure to do more and be more.

Alan emphasizes the importance of a legacy built on time, energy, and emotions rather than accomplishments. He advocates for an abundance mentality, being a life-giver due to family legacy, and showing bravery in relationships. These values drive his coaching and personal philosophy.

Our culture glorifies hustle and exhaustion, Alan's message is a breath of fresh air. He admits that he used to push himself harder, always trying to outwork others. However, he learned the hard way that such a lifestyle is unsustainable. He challenges us to reflect on what truly matters and what the good life looks like for each of us. Understanding our limits and learning to say no are crucial steps in this journey.

Alan uses the metaphor of roots and fruit to illustrate his point. If the roots of our lives are healthy, the fruit will be healthy too. However, our culture is obsessed with the fruit—achievements, accolades, and outward success—often at the expense of the roots.

Alan Briggs' conversation with Justin is a powerful reminder to prioritize our well-being and legacy over relentless hustle. By focusing on what truly matters, understanding our limits, and caring for ourselves, we can lead healthier, more fulfilling lives. Embrace the anti-hustle mindset and begin nurturing your roots.
