E49 : What is hustle culture? | Fireside chat by StartupSBA

What is hustle culture? How is it different from having a great work ethic? When did being a workaholic become a badge of honour? 'Hustle culture is pervasive, and is increasingly becoming popular and a benchmark for best practice in many workplaces. But again, it’s nowhere near as great as it’s made out to be.' (Timothy Ramos, runrun.it blog) In this episode, Startup SBA invited us for a fireside chat to discuss the 'hustle culture phenomenon'. The discussion was moderated by professor Ali Khawaja, educator and a startup mentor and we were joined by Dr Mark Aveyard, Professor of Psychology at AUS and Latifa Bin Haider, founder of Baytuki and co-founder of Mental Health AE. Listen in and let us know what you think of hustle culture... StartupSBA is a student-run Chapter in the American University of Sharjah affiliated with the Collegiate Entrepreneurship Organization.
