"Hustle is a Season, Not a Lifestyle with Chris Ducker" - 204

Today I'm so excited to welcome back a friend and fellow entrepreneur who has been leading and serving in this space for many years, Chris Ducker. In our conversation, we explore what it means to be a longhaul leader, including how to stay resilient when the journey feels tough, and the habits and strategies that allow us to work smarter while also living better. Chris and I have crossed paths many times over the years, including when I was a guest on his Youpreneur podcast after publishing She Builds: The Anti-Hustle Guide to Grow Your Business and Nourish Your Life. One of the things he said that has always stuck with me is: "Hustle is not a lifestyle. It's a season." That wisdom feels so connected to what we're diving into today. Chris is a serial entrepreneur, keynote speaker, and bestselling author of Virtual Freedom and Rise of the Youpreneur. As the founder of three multi–7-figure businesses throughout his 22-year entrepreneurial career, his newest book, The Longhaul Leader: 10 Strategies to Work Smarter, Live Better, and Achieve Lasting Success, speaks directly to what it takes to build something meaningful—not just for a season, but for the long run. What you'll hear (and don't want to miss!): :: Tips for implementing habits and rituals that reduce cortisol, stress, and anxiety for the long term :: How Chris's relationship with hustle culture has changed and why he now believes it's a season, not a lifestyle :: Why "Upgrading Your Batteries" is a crucial strategy for protecting and manifesting more energy :: How staying in your Zone of Genius can help you manage time and delegate tasks effectively as a leader :: The magic that happens when you build intention into your daily schedule, with examples from Chris's own life You can find the full show notes from this episode over at jadahsellner.com/204
