I grew up in America, that's no secret. I built my career in the Hollywood film industry, where "hustle culture" wasn't just a buzzword, it was a survival tool. But after living in the UK, something shifted in me that I can't unsee.
In this video, I'm pulling back the curtain on the fundamental differences between British and American work life. From the "at-will" employment shock to the cultural guilt around taking annual leave, I'm exploring why the American central myth of independence makes the UK work-life balance feel like a glitch in the matrix to us expats.
If you're an American living in the UK or just obsessed with the nuances of our "beautiful new old world," this is for you. We're going deeper than just "tea vs coffee", we're looking at how our jobs define our identity (or don't).
