96: Excellence isn't a Dirty Word with Brad Stulberg

Is “excellence” just another word for hustle culture nonsense now?

In this episode, Amanda sits down with Brad Stulberg to reclaim effort, care, and ambition from the internet grifters who ruined them.

  • Why “excellence” got hijacked by 4am cold plunges, supplement stacks, and performative grind
  • The epidemic of nonchalance and why “not caring” is often just fear in a cooler outfit
  • Why consistency beats intensity every time
  • The difference between real growth and the performance of hard work on social media
  • The arrival fallacy: why hitting the goal so often feels emptier than you expect
  • Why fierce self-discipline requires fierce self-kindness

Brad Stulberg is a writer and author whose work explores sustainable success, mental health, and what it actually means to live in alignment with your values. You can find him on Instagram and Substack @bradstulberg, and The Way of Excellence is available wherever books are sold.
