I\u2019m primarily focused on the global expansion and roll out of Karen\u2019s Diner which is proving to be the fastest growing and most talked about dining concept on the planet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My background has always been events and hospitality &#8211; co-founded a UK travel and music festival startup back when I was 21 (still going strong &#8211; both me and the company) and since then have always been in this industry and space. Love creating unique experiences and products that have been talked about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does a day in your life look like for you? Can you take us through a recent workday?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I wake up at 5am &#8211; run 10k, drink activated charcoal and get to work &#8211; ha I wish. Usually consists of getting up before the family around 6am and then a juggle between emails across the timezones, family breakfast and then getting into the thick of things by around 9am. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I usually check in with various team members for updates on a variety of things, check sales reports for our events and venues then go about starting or putting out fires for the rest of the day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My phone is usually non-stop between 10am-6pm and my inbox also seems never ending but in all honesty I don\u2019t think I\u2019d want it any other way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does work-life balance mean to you and how do you work to achieve that goal?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Being in an industry that very rarely sleeps is difficult and hard to find the right balance. For me it means trying to find a happy and usually impossible medium between work and family\/leisure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I actively try to have periods of the evening where I leave my phone in another room and or ignore messages until the next day. It\u2019s really hard with the fast moving pace of our business and something in all honesty I\u2019ve probably not yet fully cracked. I probably enjoy working too much.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s an area I\u2019m really trying to improve on and taking small steps here and there where possible to give myself more balance in my day to day. Aiming for small incremental improvements that will compound over the weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote has-border-color has-sitka-accent-border-color\"><blockquote><p><em>Step up your corporate retreat game with Midstay! Our packages offer working-ready venues, perfect for goal-setting, brainstorming and team-building. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.midstay.com\/lp\/balance-the-grind\/\">Book now<\/a> and let Midstay handle the rest, while you focus on valuable bonding time with your team.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In the past 12 months, have you started or stopped any routines or habits to change your life?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ve been consciously trying to better my diet &#8211; stripping out lots of processed foods and being a lot cleaner with what I eat. I think it is too easy to eat junk or be tricked by companies that design foods to appear healthy yet they\u2019re full of absolute garbage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ve also attempted and failed to reduce my alcohol intake but that\u2019s an ongoing work in progress which I\u2019m sure I\u2019ll achieve one day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do you have any favourite books, podcasts or newsletters that you&#8217;d like to recommend?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m a big fan of <a href=\"https:\/\/balancethegrind.co\/daily-routines\/malcolm-gladwell-daily-routine\/\">Malcolm Gladwell<\/a> books &#8211; a great insight into looking at situations differently &#8211; would recommend to everyone to help increase critical thinking. There\u2019s also some great material over the years on the &#8216;This Week In Startups\u2019 podcast with some great insights into work life balance, the pressures of startups and some inspiring stories.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If you could read an interview about work-life balance by anyone, who would that be?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Donald Trump &#8211; would love to know who he was supposedly running a nation and playing endless golf at the same time. In all seriousness I think someone like Justin Hemmes who is an icon in the Australian hospitality industry &#8211; would be super interesting to hear how he juggles the pressures of the venues, late night entertainment with family and leisure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do you have any last thoughts on work, life or balance that you\u2019d like to share with our readers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I think the pressures of society today are gruelling and it\u2019s definitely important that everyone looks to ensure they\u2019re looking after themselves physically and mentally. It\u2019s too easy to fall into the trap of never being able to switch off as a founder which naturally increases stress and burn out especially in the early stages of startup life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s an area that everyone will struggle with but if everyone can do small things each day to help reduce those stressors and look to give more \u2018me\u2019 time then over a longer period that will result in a much better balance. The hard part of the grind is finding where that balance lies and it often requires some self reflection to find the spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Before you go\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>If you\u2019d like to sponsor or advertise with Balance the Grind,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/balancethegrind.co\/how-do-you-balance-the-grind\/\">let\u2019s talk here<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"addrop-wrap\" data-id=\"58481\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/balancethegrind.co\/interviews\/aden-levin-director-at-viral-ventures\/\">&nbsp;&raquo;&nbsp;Read more about: Balancing the Grind with Aden Levin, Director at Viral Ventures &nbsp;&raquo;<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":49524,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-49523","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interviews"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Balancing the Grind with Aden Levin, Director at Viral Ventures - Balance The Grind<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Conversations with people from all walks of life about: work, life &amp; balance.
