53 | Opting Out of Hustle Culture with Matthew Smith, Founder of Wimp Decaf

It ain’t easy to step off the beaten path or to swim ashore from the river of what everyone else is doing. But consciously choosing to opt out of hustle culture and the grind of unrealistic expectations isn’t impossible! It’s hard, for sure. It’s also hella worth it.In this conversation with Matthew Smith, founder of Wimp Decaf and multi-passionate entrepreneur, we talk about his journey of stepping off the hustle treadmill and onto the path of living the life he actually wants.The conversation is also about our mutual journeys of sobriety and spirituality, the playfulness of accepting life as it is, learning what it’s like to have a regulated nervous system, defining what matters to us, and the liberation of getting to choose what counts as enough.Read the transcript at: https://settlingisbullshit.com/2025/09/03/opting-out-of-hustle-culture-matthew-smith-wimp-decaf/Support the podcast on Patreon at SettlingIsBullshit https://www.patreon.com/SettlingIsBullshitConnect with Matthew and WimpBuy some decaf and/or sign up for the awesome Wimp newsletter https://www.wimpdecaf.com/Follow Wimp on Instagram @wimpdecaf https://www.instagram.com/wimpdecaf/Join the conversation on Reddit r/decaf_life https://www.reddit.com/r/decaf_life/
