"I think overall, it's not what we were led to believe it was. There's this sort of allegiance to hustle culture, working around the clock, just achieving more and more that has led us to an over consumption, over prioritization of success at the cost of everything else. It's not that ambition is bad, but there is a notion that if you're ambitious, it will solve all your problems-and that just isn't true."
"Somehow, in her "downtime," she's trained for and ran nearly every major marathon in the country, including the New York City Marathon. How she's had time for it all remains a complete mystery. Most recently, she dropped her newest comedy special on YouTube, I Don't Wanna Work Anymore- an hour-long roast of girl-boss culture, modern womanhood, her current sexual frustrations and her occasional fantasy of marrying older and richer. Basically, all the things we wish we could say out loud."
"The comedian, actress and writer has been non-stop grinding since 2008, building a standout stand-up career, becoming a New York Times bestselling author and creating her own production company, Tiny Reparations and the Penguin Random House imprint Tiny Reparations Books. She's starred in films like Ibiza and What Men Want; co-created and starred in the HBO hit 2 Dope Queens, as well as the Freeform series Everything's Trash."
Phoebe Robinson has built a multifaceted career in stand-up, books, production, film, television and podcasting while also training for major marathons. She created Tiny Reparations and a Penguin Random House imprint, co-created 2 Dope Queens and starred in Everything's Trash, and has hosted prominent podcasts and events. She released a YouTube comedy special titled I Don't Wanna Work Anymore that roasts girl-boss culture, modern womanhood, sexual frustrations and fantasies about marrying wealth. She argues that hustle culture overvalues constant achievement and that ambition alone will not resolve personal problems or guarantee fulfillment.
