In today's podcast, we're taking a joyful leap into Alex's life-changing story - from a former go-getter to now living the slow life.

Alex shares his wild journey from the last ten years, a time that really made him rethink what it means to truly succeed in life. He's put all these thoughts into his book, "The Anti-Hustler’s Handbook," which encourages us to take a hard look at what we're chasing in our money-focused world.

But this story isn't just Alex's. It's about something much bigger. His dad had some wise words that we'll get into in the podcast. Stephanie and Alex will also talk about how our constant work grind could be pulling us away from what's truly valuable – our families and finding peace within ourselves.

And there's more! Stephanie is going to tackle how we all stress about being perfect parents. She'll show us why it's okay to embrace our flaws, and how that can actually be a great life lesson for our kids. Plus, we'll chat about the importance of being present in the moment and how this awareness can reshape our parenting and our lives.

So if you're looking for down-to-earth advice on shaping your own idea of success, balancing work, fun, and relaxation for a fuller life, then this podcast is just what you need.

Let's discover together what real success means, prioritize what truly matters, and learn to cherish the time spent with our loved ones.

Make sure to tune in!

“What is the concept of success? What is enough? When is the appropriate time and place for work vs. play vs. relaxation?” - Alex Schlinsky

“Hustle culture wants to dictate priorities based off of money alone where I’d prefer to dictate things off of things I care a lot more about like my wife and my child, as well as my mental wealth.” - Alex Schlinsky

“Wealth is not the determinant of financial success. Success is determined by how you define it, not allowing social contract to dictate what success means.” - Alex Schlinsky

“I feel like a lot of people are asleep in their life even though they can seem like they’re the most awake person ever. Full of energy, making things happen doing all the stuff but awake to the reality that life is finite.” - Stephanie Dove Blake

“You don’t have to wait for some experience to happen to you or to a loved one. You just take it from someone that you’re listening to.” - Alex Schlinsky

“The first step of being a better parent is to give yourself not a pass but grace, not punishing yourself for the amount of time you’re spending working and not the amount of time you’re spending with your kid but to realize how you’re going to carve the time out to make it happen to prioritize them.” - Alex Schlinsky

“If you don’t define it, everyone will define it for you.” - Alex Schlinsky

“This expectation that we need to be perfect actually creates an imperfect situation for our kids and the reason why that is because our kids need to see us be real. They need to see us fail, they need to know that we’re human. Because ultimately, if we’re perfect - then we tell them that they have to be perfect.” - Stephanie Dove Blake
