Most people think success means external validation, achievements, and material wealth.

Busyness is easy to buy into, but in the end, it’s a hollow construct.

What if you could slow down, fit your work into your good life, and build life wealth—one that includes:

> Time to spend how you choose
> Energy to do what lights you up
> Peace of mind
> Mornings without rushing
> The freedom to say “no” and the wisdom to say “enough”
> Deep, meaningful connections with the people you love
> Purposeful and energizing work

Then you’ll love Unhustle.

Read why I started the Unhustle Movement (I bet my story is not too off from yours.)

Notes from the other side.

The Unhustle Experiment is the go-to source for high-performers unlearning hustle culture—and redefining success on their own terms.

Once a week—sometimes more—I send out one tiny (or radical) experiment, podcast, insight, or evidence-based strategy to over 2,000 rebels, entrepreneurs, leaders, culture shapers, creatives, and bold thinkers in 49 countries.

Part field guide, part rebellion, part manifesto, The Unhustle Experiment is where ambitious humans go to detox from hustle culture, reclaim their life, and come home to themselves.

Think of it as Harvard Business Review—but for rebels.

If you're ready to live, work, and lead on your terms, this is your invitation.

Unhustle Profiles

To awaken the rebel inside, challenge the status quo and inspire you to think different about how to create a sustainable and fulfilling life and work.

Most advice on the Internet is too obvious, self helpy, written by AI, or trying to sell you on some program, coaching, or DYI course. It lacks depth, personal experience, and proof. 

If you want a different kind of content to break free from Hustle Culture with no fluff, and zero bullshit, the answer is The Unhustle Experiment.

I love receiving the UNHUSTLE emails and tips. They keep my day in flow and help me to keep generating positive thoughts and vibes during my day! Thank you!!

Milena has a perspective on life, freedom, adventure, and business that is unlike any I've experienced before. She simultaneously thinks & operates on the big picture and the day-to-day all at once, with a simplicity in strategy I've rarely seen.

A huge thank you for how you're helping so many people, the work you do is changing lives.

- Garett 

I wanted to send you a long email too about my transformation. You actually inspired me to do things differently. I’ve recycled old shit forever hoping things would change. It never does. It’s just applying bandaids on a dead body. You have completely changed how I think and how I view my work and how I show up every day.
- Mark Posch 

This note really resonated with me; for 2025, I’m specifically blocking out more “unstructured time” just to learn, think, create, absorb, and be proactive, not reactive.

- Tony Coretto

I love the vibe, the mission, and the movement. It’s an opportunity for intentional relaxation, release, and possibility for lasting change in a more congruent life path.
