Description

I quit the hustle after it worked. I replaced my income, built a community, and still felt misaligned. This is the story of how a new constraint (my first child) forced me to stop chasing "spectacular" and start building something sustainable.

Hustle culture promises everything but delivers burnout. I spent a decade on the professional treadmill, launched a successful business (Culture Crush), and realized the system was still broken. The breakthrough wasn't a new playbook - it was leveraging 15 years of my own "unremarkable" notes and experiences.

This video is about the evolution from a successful podcast to The Unremarkable Entrepreneur - a practice built on depth, resonance, and the courage to pursue "enough" instead of "everything."

We'll be redefining success by focusing on:> The Increment: Why ordinary, consistent actions beat giant leaps.> Serving the Work: Prioritising meaning over outcome worship.> Constraints as Fuel: How limited time and a specific niche force innovation.> Resonance over Reach: Building a small, deeply connected community that lasts.

If you're tired of funnel fatigue, personal brand theatre, and platform slavery, this is your invitation.
