Details

Your work speaks for itself in every Slack channel and meeting room you enter, yet you remain brilliantly unofficial - undercover in your excellence. After the Hustle is where unofficial leaders come to ditch the grind and discover sustainable paths to career success. This isn't just another career podcast - it's a community of like-minded professionals who understand that learning and development become 10x more powerful when we do it together. Each episode delivers: - Real talk about navigating careers when you operate between creative and strategy - Practical frameworks for high performance without the crash - Honest conversations with fellow unofficial leaders who've cracked the code - Actionable strategies for building influence from anywhere on the org chart - Community insights that amplify your growth beyond what any solo effort could achieve Hosted by Jaz Marfo, ambitious careers expert and straight-talking coach who believes in careers, not just jobs. Guided by the values of community, creativity, and curiosity, each episode explores how to work smarter, lead without permission, and create a career that powers your life rather than draining it.

Right, we need to have a chat. And honestly? This one's uncomfortable, but we're doing it anyway.I keep hearing the same thing from clients, friends, people in my DMs: "I'm not motivated by money."

I'm not having it.Why this episode is essential: Simple question: Do you aspire to be a highly qualified, underpaid professional? Is that on your vision board—beans on toast and pot noodles? No?
