Listen "Episode 7 - (Un)Dead Work Ethics"
Episode Synopsis
On This Episode: It's still here, dragging its way through our calendars and to-do lists, showing up every day without a second thought, and sitting through meetings with a blank stare. That’s work ethic, or what’s left of it. You can feel it in the quiet moments between emails. In the heaviness that lingers after a long day of “being productive.” It’s that moment when you open your laptop and feel your stomach drop, not from stress, but from something deeper. It’s like arriving at a party after everyone has gone home, but the music keeps playing. We grew up thinking that hard work would get us somewhere. That if we put in the effort, stayed focused, and proved ourselves, success would follow. Work was supposed to be the driving force behind our identity. But that drive has been running low for a while, and no one wants to say it out loud. And still, we go through the motions. The meetings, the performance reviews, the self-assessments. But instead of building something, they just make noise. We’re not chasing dreams anymore; we’re trying to remember what we once cared about. This isn’t just laziness or apathy. It's a quiet realization: the old rules of work are fading away. Yet, like a lingering ghost, it still demands our attention. It’s there in our heads, telling us that we should be doing more. In this episode, we’re holding up a mirror to the odd space we find ourselves in. A place where we keep pushing forward and performing, but can’t shake off the feeling that something important has slipped away. A decline...a denial...a glimpse of what used to be bright and full of energy, now just shadows on the wall. Whatever this is, it isn’t living. And neither is how we work.Connect with UsProudly Hosted by RedCircle: https://www.redcircle.com/tylersgrimremindersSubstack: https://tylersgrimreminders.substack.com/If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to subscribe to our podcast on your favorite platform.
