EP 36: Build Less, Earn More. The Anti Hustle Business Model with Lydia Lee

In this episode of the Nomad CEO Podcast, I sit down with Lydia Lee to challenge the idea that more growth, more hustle & more hours equals success.

This conversation is about building a business that actually supports your life, not consumes it.

What we dive into
• The Tiny Business Method: building small, profitable & sustainable businesses
• Defining your version of enough instead of chasing more
• Designing a business around your lifestyle, not the other way around
• Letting go of vanity metrics & external pressure
• Creating space for rest, reflection & real alignment

Lydia’s approach to business & life
• Working 25 hours a week with intentional structure
• Mondays for deep thinking, planning & alignment
• Fridays for connection, creativity & flexibility
• Quarterly solo retreats for clarity & vision
• Prioritizing health therapy & listening to your body

Other notes:
• Just because you can grow does not mean you should
• If your business is costing you your life, it is not a success
• You get to decide what enough looks like
• Alignment will always outperform burnout
• The goal is not more, it is better

This episode is for entrepreneurs who are tired of hustle culture & ready to build something intentional, profitable, & aligned with the life they actually want
