BOOK RELEASE: CEO Reveals Why Working Harder Is Making You Fall Behind

from The Brian Nichols Show · host The Brian Nichols Show

What if the very thing you were told would destroy your career is actually the reason you’re falling behind if you ignore it? What happens when hustle stops working, productivity myths collapse, and the “do more” advice everyone parrots quietly keeps you stuck? If you’ve ever looked around at work wondering how people doing less seem to get further, this conversation is going to hit uncomfortably close to home. In this episode, Brian Nichols sits down with Todd Hagopian, author of The Unfair Advantage: Weaponizing the Hypomanic Toolbox, to unpack how businesses stagnate, why most productivity advice is backwards, and how to build frameworks that actually win in the real world. From declaring war on stagnation to reshaping your calendar around what truly matters, this isn’t motivational fluff - it’s a playbook for people who are tired of working harder without getting ahead.
