When Justin Stewart started his career, he juggled several jobs to make ends meet. He poured himself into his full-time role as a news show production assistant from 3am until noon. Then he rushed to the airport, where he rented cars, or to the big box stores, where he pulled retail shifts.
Sometimes, he slept in his car between jobs. Then he was hospitalised for exhaustion and a staph infection. “While people around me praised my hustle, I eventually paid the price,” Stewart says. “The doctor looked at me and said, ‘I don’t know what lifestyle you’re living, but you’re too young to be this stressed. You’re going to have to quit something.’”
