THE ECHELON ORCHID PODCAST
Echelon Orchid. A leadership laboratory.
The ideas don’t get published first. They get challenged first.
Every premise in Book Two gets tested here before it goes in the manuscript. I state the argument. Then I build the best case against it, and sometimes my guests help me take it apart.
Some ideas survive. Some get rebuilt. You get to watch it happen.

EP 151 · WITH DR. JASON PITTMAN
Is Busyness the Enemy of Hustle?
The premise: hard work and intelligent work are not opposing ideas. Real hustle should become more efficient as experience accumulates.
If maximum efficiency is the goal, does hustle eventually argue itself out of existence?
