379.No Substitute for Work with Deborah Johnson

In this episode, "No Substitute for Work," we dive into the timeless value of purposeful effort—something my Southern grandmother, Mimi, modeled daily as she hand-whipped meringue with a fork and raked leaves from the big oak tree without complaint. Her quiet diligence reflected an era when hard work was both a rhythm and a reward. We'll explore how that work ethic has evolved through history, the lasting benefits of meaningful labor, and how to define an ideal work-lifestyle that balances purpose with peace. In a world obsessed with shortcuts and automation, this episode reminds us that while tools can help, there's still no true substitute for the fulfillment that comes from honest, dedicated work. We cover a brief definition of purposeful work, work ethic, benefits of work and defining your ideal work-lifestyle.
