Welcome to How to Hustle Because working hard isn’t the same as working smart

Hosted by Vishakha Abbi, UK-trained Behaviour Strategist and founder of Mind Path UAE, How to Hustle is your straight-talking podcast for navigating the modern workplace without losing your mind (or your identity).

Whether you're leading a team, launching a side hustle, or surviving a toxic colleague in a corporate jungle — this podcast gives you the behavioural science behind why people act the way they do at work, and what you can actually do about it.

Forget vague advice like “just set boundaries” or “stay positive.” Here, we break down real workplace issues with sharp behavioural insight, stories that hit home, and practical tools you can start using now. No fluff. No filler. Just real change.

🎙️ What to Expect

Every Tuesday, we explore topics like:

• Dealing with micromanagers, energy vampires & difficult teams

• Building influence without burnout

• Making career moves that actually suit you

• Using behavioural strategy to create a more human workplace

• Spotting red flags (in bosses, clients, and yourself)

Episodes are short and sharp (10–12 mins max), and follow a clear format:

• A gripping hook

• Behavioural breakdown of the issue

• 5 evidence-backed strategies

• A key takeaway to shift your thinking

🚀 Why I Started This

I left a toxic workplace after trying everything — conversations, support from my manager, endless tolerance. It still broke me. But that breaking point? It pushed me to move to Dubai, start Mind Path, and build something better. This podcast is a part of that mission.

💡 One More Thing

If you're a high performer who's always been the "fixer" at work — the one everyone leans on — this podcast is for you. The workplace doesn't need more burnout. It needs behaviourally smart humans who know when to push, when to pivot, and when to walk away.
