Grind Culture: The 24/7 “Work Day”
In this episode of Startup Hustle, guest host Jannae Gammage is joined by Venture Capitalist Nassir Criss of Sixty8 Capital to expose the reality of what constantly being in "work mode" does to a founder.
Grind culture is this widely accepted (or perhaps expected) idea that status is only achieved by always being “on and available.” No matter where you are or what you’re doing, you’re reachable. That said, many founders have differing opinions on grind culture attitudes and routines.
This is the final episode in this 3-Part "Mental Health Mondays" series, where we've been sharing the real story on the mental health burdens entrepreneurship often carries.

The Suicide Epidemic Nobody Is Talking About
In this episode of Startup Hustle, guest host Jannae Gammage and Ebrima "Abraham" Sisay, President & CEO of Freedom Project Forum, talk about the suicide epidemic that isn't discussed enough in the entrepreneur space.

But DYK entrepreneurs are technically 50% more likely to have a mental health condition than “ordinary folks” and twice as likely to suffer from depression.
This is the second episode in this 3-Part "Mental Health Mondays" series, where we're sharing the real story on the mental health burdens entrepreneurship often carries. Be sure to tune back in next Monday as we talk about "Grind Culture," the idea that status is achieved by always being “on and available.”
