Most entrepreneurs are told to grind harder, work longer, and out-discipline the competition—but what if that mindset is actually hurting your business and your life? In this episode of From Crisis to Justice, Parag Amin sits down with Craig Ballantyne, bestselling author of The Perfect Day Formula and The Dark Side of Discipline, to unpack the high cost of hustle culture and why even the most successful entrepreneurs break under pressure.

• The difference between real discipline and performative routines
• How to overcome burnout, rebuild from rock bottom, and design a life that actually serves you
