2. Five Facets of Work Ethic

In this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde breaks down what work ethic really means—without the burnout or hustle-culture myths—and shows how to build sustainable excellence through five pillars: discipline, craft, reliability, initiative, and integrity. Anchored by a real 2025 public story of resilience and high performance, Bidemi offers practical systems you can apply immediately—whether you’re an ambitious operator, a founder/creator, a student launching your career, a manager, or a performer.

What does it look like to be consistent without being consumed? Which of the five pillars is your strongest—and which one is quietly costing you momentum? Where are you confusing intensity with effectiveness, or speed with craft? And what would change if you treated integrity and recovery as performance strategies, not "nice-to-haves"?

Weekly Challenge: Choose one small but meaningful task you will complete every day at the same time for 7 days—no exceptions—then reflect on what it reveals about your discipline and reliability.
