The Truth About Hustle Culture and How Jay Broke Out of It

If you’ve ever hit major milestones yet still felt trapped, anxious, or disconnected from your own life, this conversation will change the way you think about success and what it actually means to be free.

We talk about the moment when achievement stops feeling like fulfillment, and why so many people find themselves “successful” on paper but exhausted in spirit.

A lot of high performers believe the next level comes from working harder, grinding longer, or forcing their way forward. But what if the real breakthrough begins the moment you slow down?

What if freedom, not hustle, is the real measure of success?

In this episode, I sit down with business consultant and Winner’s Circle host Jay Adewole to explore the mindset shift that took him from a $250K job to a year of making only $40K, and then to building a million-dollar business. Jay shares the story of leaving the safety of a high-paying role, hitting a wall, and the bold month-long pause that helped him rebuild his entire life and business from a new level of clarity.

His transformation didn’t start with another strategy. It started with stillness, honesty, and a decision to build a life where freedom leads the way.

Together we explore:
• Why “busyness” is the biggest obstacle to real success
• How stepping back can grow your business faster than pushing forward
• The difference between security and freedom
• What happens when you stop surviving and start leading
• Why redefining success can open doors you didn’t know existed
• How entrepreneurship becomes a path of self-liberation

I also share how Jay’s story mirrors my own path in MetaBusiness — where the real work begins the moment you release the pressure to “perform” success and finally choose to live it on your terms. Because when your purpose, energy, and leadership align, success becomes a reflection of your freedom instead of the price you pay for it.

This conversation is for every woman and man who is ready to step out of the grind, reclaim their power, and build a life where freedom is the real flex.
