Episode 16: Burnout Isn’t Hustle: The Lie Behind Grind Culture | The 7th Cents Podcast
Featuring: Coach R.L. Simmons, Money Mike (The Green Order), & Yaz Franco
----
In this episode of the 7th Cents Podcast, Coach R.L. Simmons, Money Mike (The Green Order), and Yaz Franco dig deep into the toxic side of hustle culture — the obsession with working 80+ hours a week, glorifying “the grind,” and wearing burnout like a badge of honor.
💭 Is working hard still the only path to wealth?
💭 Why is rest shamed in our communities?
💭 Is hustle actually a trauma response?
💭 Can you love your family while never seeing them?
This episode isn’t just a callout — it’s a call forward.
