In this episode of This is HCD, Gerry Scullion talks with Steven Puri, who has lived in two extreme worlds: producing Oscar-winning visual effects for Hollywood blockbusters and raising $20 million in venture capital to run multiple startups. Steven opens up about the unsustainable grind of film culture, the pain of startup failures, and the practices that helped him rebuild with intention. From redefining productivity to finding clarity in yoga and flow states, this is a powerful conversation about designing a sustainable life.

Key takeaways:

✅ Hustle culture without intention leads to burnout and emptiness

✅ Productivity is about outcomes, not hours under fluorescent lights

✅ Well-being practices like yoga and flow states are survival tools, not luxuries
