Episode 547: James Dumoulin: The Kid Who Built an 8-Figure Business By Asking Billionaires How Much They Make

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 08:00:00 -0000

I live by one rule that has shaped almost every good thing in my career: do the thing first and ask for forgiveness later. Not permission. Forgiveness. The people who wait for the right connection, the right introduction, the right moment, usually end up watching someone bolder walk past them into the room they were trying to get into.

That is exactly why I wanted to sit down with James Dumoulin.

James is the 23-year-old founder of School of Hard Knocks, the media brand you have almost certainly seen on your feed even if you never clocked the name. He is the guy who walks up to strangers in G-Wagons and Rolexes and asks them how much money they make. That one move, repeated enough times, turned into 48 billionaire interviews, 22 million followers, and an 8-figure business before most people his age have figured out what they want to do after college.

In this episode, James breaks down how he actually built the empire, the business decisions that saved it, why he turned down hundreds of thousands in easy sponsorship money, and the one question he asks every wealthy person he meets. He also gets into what he thinks his own generation is getting wrong, why the gatekeepers are the reason most people never land the meeting, how he cold-emailed Mark Cuban and got a yes in three seconds, and the moment going viral almost cost him everything.

If you have ever hesitated to make the ask, send the email, or walk up to the person, this conversation will change how you think about what is actually possible.

What's Discussed:

(02:15) How James went from working at Chick-fil-A to building School of Hard Knocks.
(08:20) How he got Mark Cuban as his first big interview through a cold email.
(11:05) The only metric on social media that actually matters.
(14:30) What makes the first three to five seconds of a video work & why the hook is everything.
(18:45) Why going viral once is not a business and how the platforms can take it all away overnight.
(21:20) The moment School of Hard Knocks went from $30k a month to under $5k in a single day.
(24:10) Why Facebook pays more than Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube combined.
(26:30) The sponsorships James turned down to protect the brand.
(31:15) How he built multiple businesses on top of the content.
(36:00) What it is actually like behind the scenes trying to interview Tom Cruise.
(40:20) Why the most successful people are the easiest to reach and the gatekeepers are the real bottleneck.
(46:10) What James thinks his own generation is getting completely wrong about work and life.
(52:30) The one piece of advice from a Goodyear executive that James has lived by ever since.
(58:15) The mindset shift that separates billionaires from everyone else.
(1:04:40) Why he still edits every single video himself even with 70 employees.
(1:10:25) How to build a personal brand if you are starting in your 40s or 50s and not fluent in digital.
(1:15:50) What is next for The School of Hard Knocks and the new channels James is building.

Episode 546: How to Engage Your Kids Into Conversations Without Losing Your Temper

Fri, 17 Apr 2026 08:00:00 -0000

Are you having a hard time connecting with your kid to know what they’re up to?

By the age of 10, kids may start to have short answers like “fine” and speak less to us parents because their brains develop and start navigating more independence over parental guidance.

As parents, we want to make sure what is happening with our kids and it can be frustrating to get them to share more which sometimes leads to yelling.

Kids are sensitive to our emotions as parents and they would rather distance themselves and become more mute when met with frustration and stress.

In this episode of Habits & Hustle, I share some communication strategies that I learned from the communication experts and behavioral psychologists I met from this podcast and how it worked for me and my sons.

It is so possible to have fun and engaging conversations with your kids without them feeling dismissed or ignored and you pulling your hair out of frustration. Let’s dive in!

What's Discussed:

(01:30) The first rule: what active listening actually looks like and why it matters.
(02:12) Why being physically present isn't the same as being mentally present.
(03:16) The environments where kids open up the most and why.
(04:16) Why "how was school?" gets you nowhere and what to ask instead.
(05:00) How sharing your own stories builds a connection with your kids.
(05:28) Why baby talk sets kids back and talking to them like mini adults works better.
(08:04) Why dedicated one-on-one time makes kids feel special.
(08:31) How staying patient and calm gets better results than losing your temper.
(10:05) Why kids are intuitive and can sense when something is real versus not.
(10:27) What respecting your child's boundaries actually looks like.
(11:13) Why forcing kids to hug or kiss people teaches them the wrong lesson.

Episode 545: Sarah Shahi: Playing Sex/Life Billie & The Courage To Live and Love Fully As A Woman

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 08:00:00 -0000

Most women are told that wanting more makes them selfish. It’s like fitting on a societal construct of a “woman” as a mother, parent, and wife is the only destiny that awaits every female. Sarah Shahi spent years believing that too until she got the role of Billie.

Playing the lead in Netflix's global hit Sex/Life didn't just make Sarah famous. It cracked her open into seeing what’s on the other side of choosing herself through Billie. Her story is one of the profound embodiments of an authentic woman who took courage to come home to herself and finally be free from societal mold imposed on women.

In this episode of Habits and Hustle, Sarah shares where it all started, how she suddenly got into acting, and the journey of being an actress for almost two decades only to break through when she’s about to give up.

She shares all the wisdom she learned from pain, what it really means to be a recovering people pleaser, how she rebuilt herself after a very public divorce and breakup, and the philosophy she has quietly built that most people never get to hear.

This is not another celebrity interview. This is a masterclass in courage to be a woman.

What's Discussed:

(8:58) The moment she knew she wanted to make a change in her life.
(14:03) How the Sex/Life audition actually went and what really happened in that room.
(26:23) How playing Billie gave her the courage to question everything in her own life.
(26:47) What real courage looks like & the wisdom behind it.
(40:28) What divorce during COVID taught her about love, loss and starting over.
(41:46) Her birth as a writer through her Glamour article.
(46:14) How she developed thick skin living her life in public.
(57:17) Why she dances until she smiles and the science behind why it works.
(59:17) The exact mindset shift she used to survive her most public breakup.
(1:01:38) The teachers and thinkers who shaped how she processes pain.
(1:03:19) Why she calls her divorce her PhD in pain and why she does not see it as a failure.
(1:06:58) What a year of being single for the first time in 23 years taught her about herself.
(1:09:14) Her production company School for Women and what she is building next.
(1:21:31) Her full beauty, hormone and wellness routine including what is actually behind that skin.

Episode 544: Why Being Interested Beats Trying To Be Interesting in a Conversation

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 08:00:00 -0000

So much can go unnoticed, unappreciated and unacknowledged when we lack the tools to say what we truly mean. Isn’t it ironic how we can talk with others but may never feel heard or truly listen?

In every word left unsaid, every sentence misunderstood, or a conversation flow left unmatched, we are not only losing a chance to connect but also opportunities to grow deeper into knowing others better.

In this episode of Habits & Hustle, I break down the most common habits that silently kill connection and the strategies we can practice in our future conversations to be heard the way we hope and understand others better.

Because in conversations, what matters is your presence and the openness to connect more which can be transformative for you and everyone you talk to.

Let’s dive in!

What's Discussed:

(00:00) Why poor communication quietly ruins outcomes more than you think.

(03:25) The biggest listening mistake most people make (and don’t realize).

(05:40) How to actually show you’re listening without saying much.

(08:15) Why most conversations feel disconnected—and how to fix it instantly.

(12:05) The problem with “flowery” communication and why it confuses people.

(14:10) How to simplify your message so anyone can understand it.

(16:00) Why tailoring your tone to your audience changes everything.

(18:30) How body language can make or break communication.

(20:10) The hidden power of nonverbal cues in building connection.

(22:05) Why mirroring body language makes people trust you faster.

(27:10) How making people feel heard transforms every interaction.

(28:30) Simple habits that dramatically improve communication.

Episode 543: Dave Watumull: The One Algae Your Supplement Stack Has Always Been Missing

Tue, 07 Apr 2026 08:00:00 -0000

Did you know that the molecule behind the pink color of salmon and the red of flamingos is also one of the most potent antioxidants ever studied?

It has 4,000 peer reviewed papers behind it. Based on studies, it extended lifespan by 12% in the most rigorous government funded study ever conducted. But almost nobody has heard of it.

Astaxanthin is not a trend or a buzzword but a potent natural antioxidant waiting to be discovered by many. It is a marine-derived substance that is thousands of times more potent than vitamin C, crosses the blood brain barrier, and does what no other antioxidant on the market can.

Dave Watumull has been working with astaxanthin since high school, watching microalgae turn bright red in the Hawaiian sun as a defense mechanism against UV light. He has spent 25 years figuring out how to bring it to the rest of us.

In this episode of Habits and Hustle, Dave breaks down why your supplement stack is missing the one foundational ingredient that makes everything else work better and why it stayed hidden for so long.

The most powerful antioxidant in the world was never hidden. It just never had a celebrity behind it.

Let's dive in!

What's Discussed:

(1:43) The marine super nutrient most people have never heard of.
(4:04) How microalgae in Hawaii sparked 25 years of research.
(5:46) Why something this powerful stayed under the radar.
(8:14) What makes it thousands of times stronger than vitamin C.
(13:18) The supplement mistake most people are silently making.
(20:54) The cheapest beauty hack nobody is talking about.
(26:16) The Harvard study that proved no other antioxidant compares.
(41:39) NR, resveratrol, green tea, omega-3s on extending lifespan.
(42:06) Why most longevity supplements are mostly nonsense.
(46:35) Why AX3® absorbs three times more than leading competitors.
(1:02:42) Dave's father late 70s case study, tennis in the Hawaiian sun, still going.
(1:17:24) What astaxanthin cannot do and the boring truth about longevity.

Episode 542: Idea vs. Execution and Why Most People Never Build Anything

Fri, 03 Apr 2026 07:00:00 -0000

People love talking about ideas. But ideas are cheap. The real difference between people who build things and people who stay stuck is simple: execution.

In this Habits & Hustle episode, my foil Shani and I break down why execution always beats ideas, why overthinking keeps people stuck, and how ridiculous products like the Pet Rock and Chia Pet still turned into massive businesses because someone actually launched them.

If you’ve been sitting on an idea, waiting until everything is perfect, or telling yourself you need more time to figure it out, tune in and start executing.

What’s Discussed

(01:29) Idea vs. execution and why great ideas mean nothing without action
(03:18) Starting before you have the answers and figuring things out as you go
(04:29) “Ridiculous” ideas that made millions like Chia Pet and Pet Rock
(07:21) How modern entrepreneurs test ideas using social media and digital ads
(08:47) Partnering with people who fill your skill gaps to execute faster
(11:50) Creating your own luck by putting yourself where opportunities can happen

Episode 541: Jon McNeill: Why “Less” and “Simple” are the Smartest Growth Strategies

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 08:00:00 -0000

Most leaders think complexity is a sign of sophistication. Jon McNeill, former president of Tesla and CEO of Lyft, thinks it's the number one reason businesses stall.

Every hour spent on complexity, unnecessary processes, and misallocated resources is an hour taken away from what actually drives growth. We tend to overcomplicate and add more (more products, more people, more strategy) over what the business really needs.

We dive deeper into this in the latest episode of Habits and Hustle with Jen Cohen. We also discuss why the most successful companies are built on radical simplicity, how to find where your real growth is hiding, and the repeatable framework Jon McNeill used to scale Tesla, Lyft, and six companies of his own.

Jon McNeill is the author of The Algorithm and founder of DBX Ventures. As former president of Tesla and CEO of Lyft, Jon has spent his career walking into complex, high-stakes businesses and finding the one move that unlocks everything else.

His framework is not just for founders but also a life skill for anyone who wants to think clearer and move faster.

What's Discussed:

(14:03) The Tesla sales crisis nobody talks about & the simple fix that saved an entire quarter.

(21:10) How Tesla went from 64 clicks to buy a car down to 10.

(23:44) Why the best leaders are the greatest simplifiers.

(31:40) Why the performance review is broken: The two questions that replace the whole thing.

(34:23) The Sam Walton habit to easily spot what’s broken in a business.

(36:02) The culture that made Tesla unstoppable: humility and confidence.

(46:38) How Lyft doubled by asking one question.

(1:10:47) What’s the iPod's two-sentence product definition that teaches you why most products fail.

(1:12:42) Why the best product does not always win and what actually does.

(1:17:46) The two habits behind every fast-scaling company.

(1:07:43) Why AI is not the job killer everyone thinks it is.

Episode 540: David Reid: What 88 Nights at the Dead Sea Taught One Man About ORMUS & Shilajit

Fri, 27 Mar 2026 08:00:00 -0000

Have you heard about the potency of Shilajit or ORMUS?

Most people haven't but these two ancient substances have been used for thousands of years by indigenous communities, royal families and healers across the Himalayas and the Dead Sea. And the science behind why they work is something the modern health world is only beginning to catch up to.

David Reid spent five years traveling the Himalayas, Peru, Egypt and the Dead Sea looking for answers. What he found led him to create Manna Vitality, a product built not in a lab but through years of living alongside the people and places that never lost touch with these ancient minerals.

In this episode of Habits and Hustle, David breaks down why your body is likely missing the foundational ingredients that make everything else work and what two substances together can actually fix it at the cellular level.

The most powerful minerals on earth were never hidden. They were just forgotten.

Let's dive in.

What's Discussed:

How a 5-year global quest led to the creation of Manna Vitality.
Why ORMUS alone is not enough and what happens when combined with Shilajit.
The reason most supplements never reach the mitochondria and why Manna's does.
The difference between 1,000mg of Shilajit vs. 125mg in most gummies.
What’s between $20 and $2,000 per kilo Shilajit and how to tell them apart.
How 600 local tribal workers spend 8 weeks a year harvesting Shilajit above 16,000 feet.
How one athlete doubled his testosterone in 3 months taking Manna.
Why hydration without minerals is just fluid and how Manna replaces your electrolytes.
How to use Manna as a topical treatment for eczema, psoriasis, and as a face mask.
Why Manna is not a supplement but an activator of your body's biophotonic electrical system.

Tue, 24 Mar 2026 08:00:00 -0000

Protein is everywhere. But the part of protein that actually does the work for muscle, recovery, metabolism, and staying lean is something most people rarely talk about: essential amino acids.

Episode 538: High Performing Women and Why They Lose Attraction in Relationships When They Lead

Fri, 20 Mar 2026 09:00:00 -0000

At a certain level of success, dating stops feeling simple. When you are disciplined and used to leading in every room you walk into, attraction is no longer just chemistry. It becomes about polarity, power, and whether you genuinely respect and admire the person you are with.

This Habits & Hustle episode breaks down the psychology behind dominance and attraction, and why some driven women lose interest the moment they feel like they are making every decision and carrying the mental load.

We also get into the idea that equal doesn’t always create desire and why many high-performing women are drawn to men who are stronger, decisive, and confident enough to lead. If you are building at a high level and realizing that leading everything is killing attraction, tune in.

What’s Discussed

(00:38) Why some high-performing women want men “better” than them
(01:58) Attraction to strength, success, and dominance in relationships
(02:45) Why women lose attraction when they feel superior
(05:05) Settling for easier partners vs real desire
(07:05) Success shrinking the dating pool for ambitious women
(07:46) How a confident man softens an alpha woman
(11:21) Decision fatigue and wanting a partner who just handles it

Episode 537: Patti Stanger: Why Modern Dating Is Broken, Red Flags, and the Commitment Crisis

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 08:00:00 -0000

Modern dating feels harder than it should. With more access, more options, and more ways to connect than ever before, commitment feels rarer, and follow through drops the minute effort is required.

We dive deeper into this in the Habits & Hustle podcast with Patti Stanger. We also chat about commitment behavior, power dynamics in modern relationships, and the difference between high standards and self-sabotage.

Patti Stanger is the star and executive producer of Bravo’s hit docu-series The Millionaire Matchmaker®. She is a third-generation matchmaker and founder of The Millionaire’s Club, launched in 2000. She is the author of Become Your Own Matchmaker, Find Your Match, Seal the Deal, and Raise Your Desirability Factor.

What’s Discussed

(06:30) How dating apps and technology shift power dynamics and commitment behavior
(10:31) Why men date multiple women and choose based on self-respect signals
(15:03) The biggest red flags, including never married by late 50s
(31:35) Why men hesitate to approach women post-COVID and post-MeToo
(45:35) How social media and filters distort attraction and expectations
(50:23) Why younger generations struggle more with commitment and social skills
(56:59) Why curated gatherings, hobbies, and clubs beat swiping apps

Episode 536: How Working Out and Nutrition Build Confidence Faster Than Therapy and Affirmations

Fri, 13 Mar 2026 08:00:00 -0000

Confidence is everywhere right now. It’s in affirmations, vision boards, therapy sessions, and motivational quotes. But none of that means anything if you haven’t built proof that you can actually do hard things.

In this Habits & Hustle episode, we get into why confidence can’t be affirmed, it has to be earned, and why fitness builds confidence faster than therapy. I break down how real self-belief is built through reps, discipline, and physical evidence, not just positive self-talk.

We also talk about why boring is what actually works and the power of “do it anyway” when motivation disappears. If you’re ready to stop consuming confidence content and start building it, tune in.

What’s Discussed

(02:25) Why intense workouts spike hunger and quietly sabotage fat loss
(04:32) How strict meal timing reduces food noise and overeating
(06:59) Why people gain weight in happy relationships
(08:47) GLP-1 drugs and the role of “food noise” in weight control
(11:40) Why severe calorie restriction backfires and slows metabolism
(15:34) Why fitness builds confidence faster than therapy
(16:42) Confidence is earned through hard reps, not affirmations
(22:29) Why boring daily discipline is the real success strategy

Episode 535: Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson: The Longevity Nutrient That Could Slow Aging and Protect Your Cells

Tue, 10 Mar 2026 08:00:00 -0000

Longevity science is shifting fast. New discoveries are revealing that aging may be influenced not just by genetics or lifestyle, but by specific nutrients that regulate cellular health.

In this episode of Habits & Hustle, I sit down with Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson to explore the discovery of C15, a fatty acid that emerged from decades of research studying Navy dolphins. Her work suggests that declining C15 levels may weaken cell membranes, accelerate aging, and increase vulnerability to metabolic disease.

We break down how this molecule works, why not all saturated fats are the same, and how modern dietary shifts away from full-fat dairy may be contributing to widespread nutrient deficiencies.

We also discuss how C15 interacts with longevity pathways like AMPK and mTOR, the same pathways targeted by drugs like metformin and rapamycin, and why researchers believe C15 may function as a geroprotector — a compound capable of slowing biological aging.

Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson is a veterinary epidemiologist, CEO of Seraphina Therapeutics, and author of The Longevity Nutrient. Her work bridges marine biology, epidemiology, and human longevity science to uncover how nutrition influences cellular aging.

What’s Discussed

(07:48) How studying Navy dolphins led to a breakthrough in longevity research
(10:31) Why dolphins are a powerful model for studying human aging
(16:04) The discovery of C15 and its role in metabolic health
(17:33) Why not all saturated fats are harmful
(20:25) How C15 interacts with longevity pathways like mTOR and AMPK
(22:23) How modern diets may be creating a widespread C15 deficiency
(24:30) The link between C15 deficiency and accelerated cellular aging
(27:11) How dairy fat became the primary source of C15 in humans
(31:18) Why C15 may qualify as a “geroprotector”
(34:28) How to measure C15 levels through blood testing
(39:23) Signs of cellular fragility and biological aging in blood markers
(43:02) How C15 may influence inflammation and autoimmune conditions
(50:20) The lifestyle factors that matter most for longevity
(55:17) Other ways to increase C15 levels through diet and exercise

Episode 534: The Real Reason Why Most People Don’t Change

Fri, 06 Mar 2026 09:00:00 -0000

Most people say they want change, but their behavior tells a different story. Over time, repetition hardens into identity, and once something feels like who you are, the brain works to preserve it.

We dive deeper into this in the latest Habits & Hustle episode. We also chat about why comfort is more addictive than failure, how social circles punish growth, and why waiting to feel ready keeps you stuck in the same loop.

If you’re serious about high performance and behavioral change, this episode forces you to look at the patterns you keep protecting.

What’s Discussed:

(06:19) Why change threatens identity more than failure
(08:58) Comfort is more addictive than failure
(09:12) How social circles quietly punish growth
(11:27) Positive peer pressure and surrounding yourself with doers
(18:51) How complacency turns into resentment
(22:04) When comfort kills resourcefulness and ambition
(23:03) Why the story in your head feels worse than reality

Episode 533: Dr. Amy Shah: What Changes in Perimenopause and How Cortisol Drives Belly Fat After 40

Tue, 03 Mar 2026 09:00:00 -0000

Midlife is not subtle. You’re disciplined, productive, training harder than ever, and still waking up at 4AM wired, gaining belly fat, and realizing the formula that used to work no longer does.

Episode 532: Building Focus and Follow Through With the Habits & Hustle Book Club

Fri, 27 Feb 2026 09:00:00 -0000

Endless scrolling doesn’t sharpen your thinking. You probably can’t remember 95% of what you just consumed, yet it still takes your time, attention, and even your money.

In this solo episode of Habits & Hustle, I share why I created The Habits & Hustle Book Club and what pushed me to build something that encourages completion instead of constant consumption.

We break down how a clear deadline builds accountability, why finishing a book strengthens follow-through in other areas of your life, and how using those spare 10 to 20 minutes to read instead of scroll can improve your focus over time.

Tune in to learn how the book club works, what kinds of books we’re reading, and why finishing what you start changes more than just your reading list.

What’s Discussed

(00:26) Why book clubs are trending again amid social media fatigue
(01:32) The polarization and comparison trap fueled by constant scrolling
(02:35) Why you don’t remember 95 percent of what you consume online
(03:26) The shift toward real connection and community through reading
(06:08) TikTok shopping, impulse buying, and algorithm-driven spending
(12:11) Using a finite reading deadline to build accountability and follow-through

Episode 531: Leslie John: Oversharing as a Competitive Advantage in Leadership and Negotiation

Tue, 24 Feb 2026 09:00:00 -0000

We’ve been conditioned to believe that saying less is safer. But playing it safe costs trust, influence, stronger negotiations, and deeper relationships because the line between “too much” and meaningful connection is further out than we think.

In the latest episode of Habits & Hustle, I’m joined by author Leslie John to break down the exact tipping point where leader vulnerability backfires, why holding your cards close in negotiation weakens your leverage, and how pushing slightly past your comfort zone builds real authority.

Leslie John is the James E. Burke Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School and author of Revealing: The Underrated Power of Oversharing. Her award-winning research appears in top academic journals and media including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Economist.

What’s Discussed

(04:00) Why oversharing feels risky but builds stronger relationships and influence
(06:31) The difference between emotional dumping and strategic vulnerability
(18:23) Disclosure flexibility and knowing when to reveal versus hold back
(20:55) Why long term relationships erode when partners stop sharing
(27:15) How strategic transparency increases trust and customer retention
(28:50) The most common negotiation mistake: leading with concealment
(34:03) Leader vulnerability and the tipping point where credibility drops
(41:01) Authenticity versus impulse and why emotional intelligence matters

Episode 530: Lindsey Vonn: Building Mental Toughness Through Injury, Pressure, and Setbacks

Fri, 20 Feb 2026 09:00:00 -0000

Success at the highest level often hides a harder truth: discipline, sacrifice, and relentless pressure can coexist with loneliness, self doubt, and burnout. When winning becomes routine and falling is inevitable, mental toughness is no longer optional, it is survival.

We dive deeper into this in the Habits & Hustle with Lindsey Vonn. We also chat about building resilience through failure, the real cost of elite performance, and redefining identity after retirement.

Lindsey Vonn is an American former World Cup alpine ski racer on the US Ski Team. She won four World Cup overall championships and ranks third among female skiers behind Annemarie Moser Proll and Mikaela Shiffrin, with three consecutive titles in 2008, 2009, and 2010, plus another in 2012.

What’s Discussed

(05:48) Talent, work ethic, and the role of family in building drive
(12:22) Early elite training and the mental toughness it demands
(26:03) Career ending injuries and mental health after retirement
(29:59) A pro athlete’s daily training balance of endurance, strength, and recovery
(39:31) Entrepreneurship and social media’s mental toll
(47:24) Red light therapy, recovery tools, and what actually helps injuries
(53:45) Daily routines that support long term health
(1:02:09) Building resilience and confidence through the Lindsey Vonn Foundation

Episode 529: Anastasia Soare: The Discipline That Built a Billion Dollar Brand and Why Obsession Beats Balance

Tue, 17 Feb 2026 09:00:00 -0000

Success isn’t built by playing it safe or trying to do everything at once. This episode breaks down why obsession, discipline, and committing fully to one craft are often the real difference between stalled ideas and lasting success.

We dive deeper into this in the Habits & Hustle with Anastasia Soare. We also talk about why balance is overrated, how discipline beats talent, and what it actually takes to build a category from nothing.

Anastasia Soare is the founder and CEO of Anastasia Beverly Hills. She is a self-made entrepreneur known globally as the Queen of Eyebrows and built her career as an esthetician working with clients including Oprah Winfrey and Michelle Obama. She founded Anastasia Beverly Hills in 1997 and has been featured in outlets including The Wall Street Journal, Vogue, Allure, Harper’s Bazaar, People, and Entertainment Tonight.

What’s Discussed

(04:06) Immigrating from Romania and why survival shaped her work ethic

(15:21) Solving real customer problems before building products or scaling
(19:33) Obsession, discipline, and competing with yourself instead of others
(29:12) Why opportunity only matters when preparation is already in place
(32:17) Simplifying contouring so everyday consumers can actually use makeup
(38:14) Firing her daughter and why earned authority matters in leadership
(41:48) Rejecting balance and embracing obsession to build something lasting

Episode 528: My Thoughts on Lindsey Vonn’s Crash and Having an Olympian Mindset

Fri, 13 Feb 2026 09:00:00 -0000

Are you watching the Winter Olympics right now? Because if you are, then you’ve probably witnessed real-time examples of resilience, and it forces a bigger question: do you really know how resilient you are until you’re tested?

In this Habits & Hustle episode, I am joined by one of my dearest, closest friends Shani to talk about resilience in its greatest form, the Winter Olympics, and to give a big shout out to Olympic champion Lindsey Vonn, who has been here on the podcast before.

We get into what it takes to compete at 41 years old, tear your ACL ten days before competition day and still show up, and why that level of commitment is what separates high performers from everyone else.

If you have something you want to accomplish or a standard you’re ready to rise to, this conversation is your reminder that with the right mindset and real commitment, nothing can stop you. Tune in.

What’s Discussed

(01:41) Lindsey Vonn’s comeback story and competing at 41
(02:21) Tearing an ACL ten days before the Olympics and still choosing to compete
(03:16) Freak accident mechanics vs preexisting injuries in high-risk performance
(06:24) Are elite performers built different or shaped by relentless training
(07:26) Age, longevity, and the shifting ceiling of Olympic careers
(08:41) Modern recovery, training evolution, and extending athletic prime

Episode 527: Jack Dell’Accio: How Your Mattress Impacts REM Sleep, Brain Recovery and Performance

Tue, 10 Feb 2026 09:00:00 -0000

You can sleep eight hours, follow all the usual tips, and still feel foggy and sore. If recovery isn’t improving, the problem usually is the environment you’re ignoring at bedtime.

In this episode of Habits & Hustle, I sit down with certified sleep coach Jack Dell’Accio to break down why “cooling” mattresses backfire, what actually drives REM and deep sleep, and how toxins and EMFs keep the nervous system stuck in survival mode.

Jack Dell’Accio is a Certified Sleep Coach with over 20 years of experience studying restorative rest and sleep environments. He is the Founder and CEO of Essentia, a company focused on non toxic, organically made mattresses designed to support neurological and physical restoration.

What’s Discussed

(01:12) Why mattresses are overlooked despite being the biggest sleep exposure
(07:28) REM and deep sleep as drivers of brain detox and physical recovery
(08:44) How EMFs alter blood behavior and keep the brain in defense mode
(15:51) Why mattress toxins stimulate the nervous system and reduce deep sleep
(21:39) How sleep tracking increases pressure and backfires on performance
(24:08) Why most organic mattresses still rely on coils and fall short
(29:22) How “cooling” mattresses fragment sleep through constant repositioning
(42:51) Sleep hygiene versus sleep environment and why people confuse the two

Episode 526: Liron Kayvan: Smart Strength Training That Builds Results Without Injury or Burnout

Thu, 05 Feb 2026 09:00:00 -0000

Lifting heavier, training to exhaustion, and pushing through pain are often labeled as discipline, yet they are some of the fastest ways to stall progress and get injured. The real problem is misunderstanding how intensity and reps actually drive results over time.

In this Fitness Friday episode we get into why pushing past your limits is not discipline, what rep ranges actually drive results, and how fitness is increasingly shaping behavior, consistency, and social connection.

Liron Kayvan founded BFLA in 2019. He’s a NASM Certified Group Fitness Instructor, Personal Trainer, and Transformative Life Coach. Liron has competed in Amateur MMA, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and Rugby and has been a Fitness Coach for over 10 years.

What’s Discussed

(00:52) Why mastering bodyweight movements should come before lifting
(02:56) How machines allow higher intensity and safety without perfect form
(04:36) Why workout intensity matters more than how heavy you lift
(06:02) The rep ranges that actually support strength and muscle growth
(13:40) How group fitness creates consistency through structure and accountability
(15:00) Why fitness spaces are replacing bars as social connection hubs
(17:56) How padel and running clubs blend movement, community, and lifestyle
(22:07) Why pickleball and other “low-impact” sports carry unexpected injury risk

Episode 525: Dr. Vonda Wright: Fitness Over 40 and the Strength Habits That Prevent Physical Decline

Aging gets sold as this quiet slide into joint pain, low energy, and moving less because “that’s just how it goes.” The truth is far more uncomfortable: loss of strength and muscle, not age, is what actually limits people long before it needs to.

We dive deeper into this in the latest Habits & Hustle episode with Dr. Vonda Wright. We also get into why running doesn’t ruin your knees, why the body’s critical decade sits between mid-thirties and mid-forties, and why muscle isn’t about looking a certain way, it’s about staying capable.

Dr. Vonda Wright is a board-certified orthopedic sports surgeon with more than two decades of clinical experience. She is a published author and international speaker specializing in musculoskeletal health, longevity, and performance. She also works as a biotech consultant and elite sports physician.

What We Discuss:

(14:58) Why joint pain, muscle loss, and slowing down are not inevitable with age
(16:11) When real physical performance decline actually begins
(21:13) Running, joint health, and what actually causes knee breakdown
(22:45) Why weakness and poor mechanics hurt runners more than mileage
(42:36) Why the body’s "Critical Decade" sits between mid-thirties and mid-forties
(43:40) The "minimum effective dose" for training when you are short on time
(01:12:45) Facing the "fear of being bold" and taking action for your health

Episode 524: Liron Kayvan: How to Make Fitness Goals Stick And The Top Fitness Trends This Year

Fri, 30 Jan 2026 09:00:00 -0000

Every January starts with big fitness intentions, and it usually ends the same way, routines quietly fall apart once motivation wears off. The real issue is well known: building habits around feelings and calendar dates instead of non-negotiable standards.

In this Fitness Friday episode, we break down the New Year fitness cycle with Liron Kayvan and talk about how to approach it in a way that actually sticks. We get into why walking is the most underrated habit in fitness, how non-negotiables put discipline on autopilot, and what truly separates people who stay consistent from those who fall off every January.

What We Discuss:

(00:00) Why New Year goals fall apart by mid-January
(02:48) The New Year reset cycle and why starting dates don’t create consistency
(05:52) How too much daily decision-making sabotages long-term habits
(09:18) What it actually means to build non-negotiables
(14:46) Interval walking explained and why it’s trending for 2026
(20:02) Recovery as a top fitness trend and what’s driving the surge
(24:37) Cold plunges, saunas, and why sleep is the most underappreciated recovery tool
(30:51) Training early and why prioritization matters more than motivation

Episode 523: Ashley Koff, RD: GLP-1, Weight Loss and the Mistakes That Create Rebound

Tue, 27 Jan 2026 09:00:00 -0000

Weight loss has become a race to get smaller, even when the body is clearly breaking down in the process. The surprise is that a lot of people lose weight and end up more fatigued, under muscled, and metabolically worse off than when they started.

We dive deeper into this topic in the latest Habits & Hustle episode with Ashley Koff. We also chat about why GLP-1s make people skinny but not necessarily healthy, why weight often comes back after stopping GLP-1s, and why not eating enough while on these medications is one of the biggest mistakes people make.

Ashley Koff, RD is a registered dietitian, founder of The Better Nutrition Program, and a clinician with over 25 years of experience in personalized nutrition. She is the USA Today bestselling author of Your Best Shot (HarperOne) and founder of The Better Nutrition Program (BNP), and has been recognized as one of CNN’s Top 100 Health Makers.

What We Discuss:

(00:00) Why weight loss has become the wrong goal and how “thinner” replaced healthier(03:12) GLP-1s explained and why they make people skinny without making them healthy(07:08) The real issue with GLP-1s and why misuse creates rebound weight gain(12:41) What actually happens when appetite returns after stopping GLP-1s(17:56) Why not eating enough on GLP-1s leads to muscle loss and metabolic slowdown(22:38) Food noise, hormones, and why appetite is not a willpower problem(34:27) The biggest “just eat less” lie and how it backfires long term(40:03) Fasting, under-fueling, and why trendy restriction worsens outcomes for some people

Episode 522: The Best of Habits & Hustle: Rob Dyrdek (Serial Entrepreneur and Ridiculousness Creator)

Fri, 23 Jan 2026 09:00:00 -0000

Relentless drive isn’t the problem for most high performers. The real breakdown happens when self-belief collapses after early success and hustle turns into motion without direction.

This episode is part of The Best of Habits & Hustle, a series where we revisit some of the most impactful conversations we’ve shared. In this one, I’m joined by Rob Dyrdek to challenge the idea that working harder fixes everything and explore why success stalls when it isn’t intentionally designed.

We also talk about rebuilding belief after hitting bottom, mastering time as a strategic advantage, and designing systems that create real wealth without burning your life down.

Rob Dyrdek is a serial entrepreneur, producer, and former professional skateboarder. He is the creator of Ridiculousness and the founder of Dyrdek Machine, a venture studio that has built 18 brands with six exits totaling over $550M. Rob is also the CEO of Existence and the mind behind Time Creationism, a framework focused on engineering time at scale.

What We Discuss:

(00:02) Losing self-belief after early success and why hustle stops working

(11:38) How subconscious belief shapes trajectory more than effort

(13:27) Hitting rock bottom and the decision to reprogram belief

(19:18) Why self-belief isn’t motivation, it’s data and mastery

(46:41) Designing time as a strategic asset instead of reacting to life

(52:03) Why balance must come before scale, not after

(56:47) Building systems that create wealth without burning your life down

Episode 521: Dr. Shadé Zahrai, PhD: The Science of Acting Through Self-Doubt

Tue, 20 Jan 2026 09:00:00 -0000

Self-doubt is often mislabeled as a confidence problem, which causes people to hesitate instead of act. The real cost is momentum, because confidence is built through action, not something you wait to feel before moving.

We dive deeper into this in the Habits & Hustle with Dr. Shadé Zahrai. We also chat about why high performers still experience self-doubt, the ping pong ball vs golf ball analogy for detaching from doubt, and why self-image drives behavior more than motivation.

Dr. Shadé Zahrai is a behavioral researcher and peak performance educator with a PhD in organizational behavior. She has designed and delivered programs for Fortune 500 companies including Google, Microsoft, LVMH, JP Morgan, and McKinsey. Her work has reached millions through LinkedIn Learning, TEDx talks, and global leadership programs.

What We Discuss:

(03:10) Why the opposite of self-doubt isn’t confidence but self-trust

(08:42) Why high performers still experience self-doubt and act anyway

(14:25) The ping pong ball vs golf ball analogy and how doubt becomes identity

(21:30) Why affirmations backfire when the brain doesn’t believe them

(28:55) How self-image shapes behavior more than motivation or discipline

(36:40) The scar experiment and why we experience reality through expectation

(44:15) Why saying yes too quickly damages self-trust and decision quality

(01:21:26) How your partner’s dependability and discipline shape long-term career success

Episode 520: The Best of Habits & Hustle: Touré Roberts (ONE Church LA Founder)

Fri, 16 Jan 2026 09:00:00 -0000

Most high performers don’t struggle because they lack discipline. They struggle because they’re trying to do everything at once and calling it balance.

We dive deeper into this in the Habits & Hustle with Touré Roberts. We also chat about why balance is becoming whole instead of splitting yourself into percentages, the difference between losing and being a loser, and why you can’t scale without stretching.

Touré Roberts is a bestselling author, entrepreneur, investor, and producer. He is the founder of ONE, a multidimensional community based in Los Angeles, and has built one of the most engaged digital platforms in his space with over 100 million views and more than one million subscribers.

This episode is part of The Best of Habits & Hustle, a series where we revisit some of the most impactful conversations we’ve shared.

What We Discuss:

(00:00) Why balance isn’t about splitting yourself into percentages

(00:56) You can do all things well, just not at the same time

(23:46) Why growth exploded after leaving comfort and relocating

(37:23) The difference between losing and being a loser

(39:13) Resilience starts with acknowledging pain

(40:25) Doing an autopsy on failure instead of wasting it

(48:15) You can’t give your best self to everything at once

Episode 519: Andrew Bustamante: Reading People, Predicting Behavior and Creating Leverage

Tue, 13 Jan 2026 09:00:00 -0000

Success is often attributed to confidence or charisma, yet many capable people still misread situations, misjudge authority, and lose leverage under pressure. The real disadvantage is not lack of effort, but relying on false assumptions about how people and systems behave.

We dive deeper into this in the latest Habits & Hustle Podcast episode with Andrew Bustamante. We also chat about predicting human behavior, controlling emotional responses in high-stakes moments, and using leverage ethically in business and leadership.

Andrew Bustamante is a former clandestine CIA intelligence officer and co-founder of EverydaySpy, a global training platform applying spy skills to business and life. He is a decorated U.S. Air Force combat veteran, a graduate of the United States Air Force Academy, and a former member of CIA’s National Clandestine Service.

What We Discuss:

(11:08) Why perception is not reality and how authority conditioning begins early
(12:05) Why following social rules often leads to weaker outcomes
(24:36) How professional liars control body language and emotion
(25:16) Why speaking less creates more credibility
(27:14) Operational utility versus opportunism in decision making
(38:49) Why institutions are looser than they appear
(39:18) How authority bias quietly shapes adult behavior
(47:17) Why human behavior becomes predictable under pressure

Episode 518: 7 Habits You Must Stop to Level Up

Fri, 09 Jan 2026 09:00:00 -0000

What if the reason you’re not moving forward isn’t what you’re missing, but what you keep holding on to?

Change doesn’t happen because you add more to your life. It happens when you finally remove the habits that drain your time, your energy and your momentum.

In this solo episode, I break down the seven patterns that stop high performers from moving forward, even when they think they’re doing everything right.

These questions come up constantly, and the truth behind them is the same. Waiting is a trap, negative energy slows you down, comfort blocks growth, complaining keeps you stuck in place.

If you feel like you’re pushing hard but not getting anywhere, this episode will show you exactly what to cut. These are simple shifts, but they change everything. Tune in and take notes.

What we discuss:

(00:49) Why waiting to feel ready keeps you stuck
(01:41) How negative people drain your creativity and momentum
(02:26) Comfort that feels good now but blocks real growth
(03:32) Complaining vs ownership and what actually moves you forward
(04:07) Failure as feedback and the mindset shift that stops the quitting cycle
(04:40) When saying yes becomes self-sabotage and how to break the pattern
(05:41) Consuming before creating and why it kills your voice and momentum

Episode 517: Tania Khazaal: Building Emotional Resilience Through Discipline, Discomfort and Accountability

Tue, 06 Jan 2026 09:00:00 -0000

Cutting off family and chronic therapy have become normalized, yet people feel more disconnected than ever. What’s labeled as healing often rewards avoidance and quietly erodes emotional resilience.

We dive deeper into this in the latest Habits & Hustle with Tania Khazaal. We also chat about why therapy can keep people stuck instead of healing, how “protecting your peace” often protects pain, and why most people quit in the valley of despair right before real growth begins.

Tania Khazaal is an emotional healing expert with a background in herbal practice and extensive study in psychology, neuroscience, human behavior, and communication. Her work centers on emotional resilience, relational repair, and the mind body connection.

What We Discuss:

(05:24) Why family estrangement is rising

(06:27) How therapy culture can keep people stuck

(08:24) When “protecting your peace” becomes avoidance

(14:06) Triggers vs personal responsibility

(23:03) Emotional suppression and physical health

(36:54) Gentle parenting, discipline, and resilience

(39:17) How emotional growth affects health, relationships, and performance

(44:37) The valley of despair and why people quit(

49:12) Discipline and future pacing over motivation

Episode 516: The Best of Habits & Hustle - Vanessa Van Edwards (The Behavioral Investigator)

Fri, 02 Jan 2026 09:00:00 -0000

This episode is part of The Best of Habits & Hustle, a series where we revisit some of the most impactful conversations we’ve shared.

In this one, I sit down with Vanessa Van Edwards to unpack what charisma really is and why so many smart, capable people are quietly misread. We get into how trust and credibility are formed in seconds, why competence without warmth backfires, and how subtle cues shape whether people believe you, listen to you, or overlook you entirely.

She breaks down what happens when people try to be neutral or unreadable, why under-signaling on online meetings makes you seem less trustworthy, and how small shifts in communication can completely change how your ideas land. If you’ve ever felt like your skills were there but your influence wasn’t, this conversation will click.

Vanessa Van Edwards is a bestselling author, international speaker, and creator of People School. She is an instructor at Harvard University and has taught communication science to millions of students worldwide. Her work has been featured on CNN, BBC, and the Today Show, and her books have been translated into 17 languages.

Most people assume charisma is about being funny or outgoing, but that mindset is exactly why smart, capable people keep getting overlooked. In reality, people decide whether they trust and believe you in seconds, and the signals you are sending might be working against you.

We dive deeper into this in the episode with Vanessa Van Edwards. We chat about why competence without warmth backfires, how under-signaling on online meetings makes you seem less trustworthy, and the subtle cues that quietly determine whether people take you seriously.

This episode is part of The Best of Habits & Hustle, a series where we revisit some of the most impactful conversations we’ve shared.

What We Discuss:

(00:41) The two questions people subconsciously ask the moment they meet you
(07:33) Why competence without warmth makes people distrust you
(10:08) What happens when you are seen as “too nice” and not taken seriously
(15:46) Why smart people fail to sell good ideas without emotional buy-in
(16:42) How under-signaling and “being unreadable” backfires on video calls
(18:55) The role of oxytocin and dopamine in building connection and motivation
(21:52) The first 10 words that dramatically increase engagement on Zoom
(30:15) What your handshake reveals about confidence and dominance
(48:00) The impact of genuine vs. fake smiles on trust and perception
(54:07) How communication cues change in digital spaces like email and texting

Episode 515: Erica Komisar: The Parenting Myth Hurting Kids’ Mental Health

Tue, 30 Dec 2025 09:00:00 -0000

Do you ever feel like you are doing everything “right,” and your kid still seems anxious, dysregulated, or shut down? This conversation made me rethink what we have been told about parenting, work, and what kids actually need to feel safe.

In this episode of Habits & Hustle, I sit down with psychoanalyst and parent guidance expert Erica Komisar to break down what kids actually need to build emotional resilience, why “quality time” alone isn’t enough, and how parental presence shapes brain development, stress tolerance, and long-term mental health.

We talk about how stress shows up as fighting, avoidance, and attention issues, why transitions like mornings and after school are when kids need you most, and how overscheduling can become a quiet form of avoidance. She also explains why social media is a pressure amplifier, not the root cause, and what it takes to build real resilience before life gets hard.

Erica Komisar, LCSW, is a psychoanalyst and parent guidance expert with nearly four decades of clinical experience. She is the author of Being There and Chicken Little, the Sky Isn’t Falling.

What We Discuss:

(00:00) Why Kids Are Struggling More Than Ever

(08:42) The Myth Of “Quality Time”

(18:15) What Early Brain Development Actually Needs

(29:40) Why Overscheduling And Helicopter Parenting Backfire

(41:10) The Real Roots Of Anxiety And ADHD

(53:05) Why Social Media Isn’t The Original Problem

(01:05:30) What Adolescents Need From Parents

(01:18:50) The Hard Truth About Work, Parenting, And Priorities

Episode 514: The Best of Habits & Hustle - Dr Mary Claire Haver (The #1 Menopause Doctor)

Fri, 26 Dec 2025 09:00:00 -0000

This episode is part of The Best of Habits & Hustle, a series where I revisit some of the most impactful conversations we’ve shared.

Tue, 23 Dec 2025 09:00:00 -0000

What actually makes a brand break through and stay relevant long after the hype fades? I wanted to explore that question with someone who sees behind the scenes of real growth, not just what looks good online.

In this episode, I sit down with Emily Hickey to talk about what performance marketing really means, why specificity matters more than volume, and how the smartest brands focus on what is already working instead of chasing every new idea.

Emily Hickey is the co-founder and CEO of Chief Detective, a performance marketing agency working with leading consumer brands across Meta, Google, and social platforms. She also advises companies like Goop and Weight Watchers, helping leadership teams think clearly about growth, positioning, and longevity.

Episode 512: The Best of Habits&Hustle: Jordan Belfort (Wolf Of Wall Street)

Fri, 19 Dec 2025 09:00:00 -0000

How do you rebuild your life when everyone thinks they already know your story? How do you stay sharp and influential when every move you make is judged and dissected?

In this episode of Habits & Hustle, I sit down with Jordan Belfort, the real-life inspiration behind Martin Scorsese’s acclaimed film The Wolf of Wall Street based on his bestselling autobiography.

We get into the mindset behind high-stakes decisions, the psychology of influence, and how he built a system that turns underdogs into top performers. Jordan talks about rebuilding credibility, the habits that keep him steady now, and what extreme pressure taught him about discipline.

He breaks down what persuasive leaders actually do differently and why charisma alone never gets you there. If you want a sharper understanding of communication, conviction, and reinvention, this one will land.

Jordan Belfort is an entrepreneur, bestselling author, global sales trainer, and creator of the Straight Line System. After rising fast, falling hard, and rebuilding his life from the ground up, he has become one of the most recognizable thinkers in sales psychology, persuasion, and personal reinvention today.

What We Discuss:

(00:28) Why influence is something you can actually learn
(05:12) The mindset Jordan used to handle high-stakes decisions
(13:40) How the Straight Line System brings clarity to any conversation
(18:55) What rebuilding credibility really looked like after his public fall
(26:14) The habits that keep him steady and focused now
(34:02) What extreme pressure taught him about discipline
(41:33) The mechanics of persuasion and why charisma alone never works
(55:10) What separates average closers from top performers
(01:12:20) How he coaches leaders to communicate under pressure
(01:28:46) The psychology behind reinvention and starting fresh

Tue, 16 Dec 2025 09:00:00 -0000

What if the confusion around fasting and hormones isn’t because the science is complicated, but because most people are using the wrong tools for the wrong goals? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Mindy Pelz to get clear about what fasting actually does, when it helps, and when it backfires. This is a conversation about taking ownership of your metabolism instead of chasing trends that don’t match your life.

Mindy breaks down her six core fasts, why women need a different strategy, and how to adjust your approach if you train hard.

If you’ve ever wondered how to use fasting without wrecking your energy or performance, this episode will give you a clearer path forward.

Dr. Mindy Pelz is a bestselling author, educator, and functional health expert known as the fasting guru. Her books Fast Like a Girl and Age Like a Girl have helped millions of women rethink metabolic health, hormones, and aging, and she has led hundreds of thousands of people through community fasts that focus on real-world results, not quick fixes.

Episode 506: The Success Skill Everyone Overlooks

Fri, 28 Nov 2025 09:00:00 -0000

Have you ever wondered why some people shoot ahead while others, equally talented and equally driven, keep hitting invisible walls? It is almost never about capability. It is about how they show up, how they are perceived, and how they make people feel in the first five seconds of entering a room.

In this Fitness Friday episode, I break down why likability is one of the most underrated success advantages and how small habits like a real smile, remembering someone’s name, or actually listening can change the way people respond to you instantly.

I also talk about the mindset traps that keep high performers stuck: over-talking, people-pleasing, and trying to impress instead of connect.

If you know you are capable of more but feel like something small keeps blocking your momentum, this conversation is going to click everything into place.

Tune in and take notes. This one is simple, actionable and a total game changer.

What we discuss:

(01:51) Why likability gets you ahead
(03:29) How smiling and body language change everything
(04:11) Why remembering someone’s name is a power move
(05:11) The 70/30 rule and the power of asking questions
(06:09) How to give genuine compliments
(07:16) Why listening is a secret weapon

Episode 505: Jefferson Fisher: How to Argue Less and Communicate Better

Tue, 25 Nov 2025 09:00:00 -0000

How is it possible to be confident in every other area of your life, but lose your footing the second a conversation gets difficult?

In this episode of Habits & Hustle, I sit down with Jefferson Fisher, a former trial lawyer, bestselling author, and one of the most respected communication voices online, to talk about how to argue less and actually connect more.

We talk about what intentional communication actually looks like in real life and why so many people slip into defensiveness instead of clarity. Jefferson breaks down the small but powerful adjustments that change everything in a hard conversation, from slowing your tone to asking questions that defuse tension instead of escalating it. He also explains why trying to “win” is the quickest way to damage trust, and how a calm, grounded “no” can communicate confidence without conflict.

If you often leave conversations feeling misunderstood or emotionally drained, this episode will feel like a reset. We go deeper into how to structure a discussion so no one spirals, how to navigate people with low emotional awareness, and how to keep your composure even when your instinct is to react fast.

Jefferson Fisher has helped millions of people communicate with more clarity and less conflict through his signature approach to calm, intentional dialogue. His first book, The Next Conversation, became a New York Times bestseller, and his content has reshaped how people navigate arguments, boundaries, and connection in everyday life.

What We Discuss:

(06:09) When what you said does not match what they heard
(09:17) Slowing your tone to calm the conversation
(13:58) “Nice” vs. “Kind” and why the difference matters
(21:14) How to say “no” without guilt or excuses
(27:26) Using frames to start hard conversations
(36:41) Handling people with low emotional intelligence
(51:57) Cutting weak language to sound more confident

How does a college dance teacher end up becoming one of the most recognized names in fitness? In this Fitness Friday episode, Shaun T joins me to share how he went from teaching hip-hop classes at Equinox to creating Hip Hop Abs, Insanity, and inspiring millions of people around the world.

We talk about what really keeps people motivated, why fun matters more than fear, and how confidence gets built one rep at a time. Shaun also opens up about his evolution, from being told he’d never hit like a pro to beating Serena Williams in doubles, and how therapy changed his mindset as a high achiever.

He shares what it was like to grow through the early days of Beachbody, how Hip Hop Abs was born, and why showing up fully as yourself is what creates real connection. For Shaun, being a gay Black man in the fitness space wasn’t something to hide. It became his strength.

Shaun T is a fitness trainer, choreographer, and motivational speaker best known for programs like Insanity, T25, and Hip Hop Abs. He’s also an advocate for mental health, self-belief, and authenticity in and out of the gym.

Episode 503: Anthony William: Heavy Metals, Brain Fog, and The Voice That Guides Him

Tue, 18 Nov 2025 09:00:00 -0000

Most people don’t fail at getting healthy because they don’t care. They fail because they’re following the wrong advice.

In this episode, I sit down with Anthony William, the Medical Medium, to talk about why doing everything “right” can still leave you feeling like crap. We get into how stress, overtesting, and over-supplementing can backfire, and why simplicity beats every hack.

He shares how metals in the brain can fuel issues like OCD and ADHD, the five foods he swears by for detox and recovery, and why celery juice became more than just a trend. We also talk about what people get wrong about protein, clean eating, and chasing “optimization.”

Whether you love him or question him, this conversation will make you stop and rethink what being healthy really means.

Anthony William is the founder of the global celery juice movement and a #1 New York Times best-selling author known for his Medical Medium book series. Since the age of four, he has said he receives health insights from what he calls the Spirit of Compassion, helping people improve their well-being through a more intuitive approach.

What we discuss:

(05:42) Why “healthy” habits might actually be keeping you sick

Episode 501: Alejandra Maria Gallo: Dating Strategy, Emotional Regulation, and Taking Your Power Back

Tue, 11 Nov 2025 09:00:00 -0000

You can be successful, confident, and unstoppable in business: and still lose your edge when it comes to love.

In this episode of Habits & Hustle, I sit down with Alejandra Maria, a dating strategist and viral creator who helps ambitious women stop chasing and start leading with self-respect.

We talk about what it really means to have emotional discipline, the ability to pause before reacting, to stay calm instead of proving your worth, and to walk away instead of negotiating for respect. Alejandra breaks down how “no contact” can be a power move, not a game, and why emotional diversification is the secret to staying grounded when everything feels personal.

If you’re the kind of woman who thrives under pressure but keeps losing your balance in relationships, this one’s for you. We unpack how to bring the same clarity and control you have in business into your emotional life, without losing your softness or your power.

Alejandra Maria has built a global audience of nearly a million women with her unapologetic, emotionally intelligent take on modern dating. Her insights have been featured in Newsweek, Girlboss, and more. And she’s redefining what it means to be “high value” in love and life.

What We Discuss:

(04:10) Why high-achieving women often lose power in love
(06:05) The difference between emotional discipline and emotional suppression
(08:42) “You can’t outwork emotional chaos”: bringing business mindset into dating
(12:30) How “no contact” became the most powerful boundary you can set
(18:20) Emotional diversification: spreading your energy beyond one relationship
(25:14) Why confidence isn’t control, it’s composure
(33:47) The signs you’re over-functioning in relationships
(42:30) How to stop chasing and start being chosen
(51:12) The mindset shift from proving your worth to holding your power
(58:40) How to regulate emotions like you train your body: consistency over chaos

…and more!

Fri, 17 Oct 2025 08:00:00 -0000

Listen to the full episode: https://youtu.be/NrHBimydPBU?si=mI2cLamva379hWMy

Why do 70% of personal trainers sleep with their clients, and how does this statistic explain why most fitness professionals never build real wealth? In this Fitness Friday episode on the Habits and Hustle podcast, Adam Schafer from Mind Pump drops truth bombs about what separates successful trainers from those who plateau at $40K a year.

We unpack the psychology of professional boundaries, why "motivation is bullshit but self-belief is everything," and how the same insecurities that lead to sleeping with clients also trap people in toxic relationship patterns.

Adam Schafer is the business strategist behind Mind Pump Media, a fitness podcast generating over $10 million annually. With eight national certifications, a pro-card in bodybuilding, and experience managing some of the largest fitness clubs in the Bay Area, his greatest achievement remains creating a media empire that disrupted the entire fitness industry.

What we discuss:

Why trainers sleeping with clients is second only to hospitals for workplace affairs
How breaking professional boundaries costs you the highest-paying, long-term clients
Why your peers lose respect and won't work for someone who crosses these lines
"Motivation is bullshit, self-belief is everything" - the mindset shift that creates success
Breaking addiction to "broken people" - how ego-feeding relationships mirror bad business choices
The confidence factor: Why self-belief matters more than looks, talent, or connections

Fri, 10 Oct 2025 08:00:00 -0000

Listen to the full episode: https://youtu.be/6jLhl8Zaznw?si=jaBuMbIWQApYpeEv

Why does starting your day with protein reduce anxiety for the rest of the day? In this Fitness Friday episode on the Habits and Hustle podcast, Sal Di Stefano joins me to break down the science of blood sugar control, why intermittent fasting is "a terrible way to lose weight," and the shocking truth about cardio versus strength training for fat loss.

We also unpack the biggest mistake women make when tracking progress: obsessing over the scale instead of body composition. Sal explains why 40% of weight lost through cardio comes from muscle, shares a study where strength training alone beat cardio AND strength training combined for fat loss, and reveals why psychologists now prescribe high-protein breakfasts to anxious patients.

Sal Di Stefano is a fitness expert with over 20 years of personal training experience and co-host of the Mind Pump podcast, one of the top-rated fitness shows in the world.

The two-question filter for any fitness advice: "Will I do it?" and "Is it realistic?"
Intermittent fasting's original purpose and why it fails for weight loss
Cortisol addiction and the binge-restrict cycle fasting creates
When cold plunges hurt more than help for overstressed people

Episode 480: The Pornography Crisis: How We're Accidentally Destroying Our Kids' Ability to Connect

Fri, 29 Aug 2025 08:00:00 -0000

Listen to the full episode: https://mindpumppodcast.com/2575-raising-resilient-children-with-jen-cohen/

In today's Fitness Friday episode, I'm sharing an excerpt from my conversation on the Mind Pump Podcast about a crisis that most parents don't want to discuss, but absolutely must - the digital destruction of childhood.

The average age a child first encounters pornography online is 10 years old. Ten. And today's kids get less sunlight than prisoners do.

We also tackle the controversial but essential topic of traditional gender roles in parenting. Why do kids misbehave 900% more in front of their mothers? And how are single parents supposed to navigate providing both structure and nurturing?

This isn't about being "old-fashioned" - it's about understanding that our well-intentioned move away from traditional parenting roles may be contributing to the anxiety and fragility we see in kids today.

What we discuss:

Why Kids Today Get Less Sunlight Than Prisoners
How Pornography Creates Drug-Like Effects on Developing Brains
Why Tech Creators Won't Let Their Own Kids Use Social Media
The Casino Algorithm: How Apps Are Designed to Addict Children
Why Kids Misbehave 900% More in Front of Their Mothers
How Single Parents Can Balance Structure and Nurturing
The Rise of Phone-Free Schools and Digital Detox Movements
How Gen Z is Returning to Traditional Christianity for Structure

Listen to the full episode: https://mindpumppodcast.com/2575-raising-resilient-children-with-jen-cohen/

Team sports aren't just about physical fitness - they're a masterclass in life preparation. In this Fitness Friday excerpt from my Mind Pump Podcast conversation, we dive into why putting your kids in team sports between ages 3-10 is absolutely critical for their development.

We discuss how sports serve as a microcosm of life, teaching kids essential lessons about failure, merit-based performance, and working with difficult people. From learning that someone will always be better than you to discovering natural leadership qualities, sports provide irreplaceable real-world education that no classroom can replicate.

Tune in to discover why the "everybody wins" mentality is robbing children of crucial life lessons and how modern parenting trends are creating a generation unprepared for real-world challenges.

What we discuss:

Why Team Sports Are Essential Between Ages 3-10
The Dangerous Rise of "Everybody Wins" Culture in Youth Sports
How Sports Teach Kids That Someone Will Always Be Better
Why Parents Are Ruining Sports by Praising Talent Over Effort
The Problem with Moving Kids to "Easier" Teams
How NIL Deals Are Destroying Loyalty in College Sports
Why Sports Are Practice for the Game of Life
The Lost Art of Sitting on the Bench and Supporting Teammates
How to Use Sports to Build Natural Leadership Skills

Episode 466: Dr. Stacy Sims: Why Women Can't Fast Like Men + The Training Intensity You Should Avoid

Fri, 11 Jul 2025 08:00:00 -0000

Why do women struggle more with intermittent fasting than men? And what's the real secret to building bone density that most women are missing? In this Fitness Friday episode, exercise physiologist Dr. Stacy Sims and I break down the biological differences that make popular health trends work differently for women.

We explore the concept of "polarized training"—why women need to go super hard or super easy, avoiding that moderate-intensity middle zone that can actually increase cortisol and visceral fat. We also discuss the fascinating brain differences between men and women that make fasting potentially harmful for women's hormones, sleep, and body composition.

What we discuss:

The polarized training approach: why moderate intensity is the enemy
Minimum effective dose for women's training (hint: it's less than you think)
Why jump training beats running for bone density
The specific type of jumping that builds bones (it's not what you expect)
Why trampolines don't count for bone building
The brain differences that make fasting risky for women
Why women become "anabolically resistant" at 40 and need more protein
The top 3 supplements every woman needs

Episode 465: Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman: Why Everyone's Playing Victim (And How to Stop)

Tue, 08 Jul 2025 08:00:00 -0000

Are we living in a victim culture? Cognitive psychologist Scott Barry Kaufman thinks so - and his new book "Rise Above" is the antidote we desperately need.

In this Habits and Hustle episode, Scott and I dive into what separates those who rise above their circumstances from those who stay stuck. We discuss the difference between being victimized and having a victim mindset, explain why vulnerable narcissism is worse than grandiose narcissism, and reveal how "affirming therapy" might actually be keeping people trapped. Plus, Kaufman shares his sailboat model of self-actualization and why psychological flexibility is the key to resilience.

Scott Barry Kaufman is a cognitive psychologist, author, and podcaster who teaches at Columbia University. His research focuses on intelligence, creativity, and human potential. He's the author of several books including "Ungifted" and runs the Center for Human Potential coaching program.

What We Discuss:

(01:00) Self-Actualization and Overcoming Victim Mindset

(10:05) The Complexity of Narcissism Mindset

(14:37) Rise Above

(29:40) Understanding Victim Mindset and Toxic Activism

(37:49) Left-Wing Authoritarianism and Victim Mindset

(44:45) Therapy Trends and Personal Growth

Episode 464: Dr. Stacy Sims: Why Women Are Not Small Men and Need to Train Completely Differently

Fri, 04 Jul 2025 08:00:00 -0000

Why do women and men get vastly different results from the same workout and diet plan? In this Fitness Friday episode on the Habits and Hustle podcast, I sit down with Dr. Stacy Sims, exercise physiologist, who reveals the differences that affect every aspect of how women should approach fitness and nutrition.

We dive into how puberty creates a biomechanical shift that changes everything and reveal why popular fitness trends like Zone 2 training and Orange Theory classes may actually be working against women's biology. We also share the specific strategies women need to combat muscle loss, maintain bone density, and optimize body composition.

What we discuss:

Why women are born with different muscle fiber types than men
Why Zone 2 training isn't optimal for most women throughout their lives
The importance of power-based and strength training for women's longevity
How perimenopause changes training needs
Why moderate intensity workouts can increase cortisol and visceral fat
Why women need heavy lifting (0-6 reps) during perimenopause
Why women are more prone to ACL injuries and frozen shoulder

Wesley Hunt represents Congressional District 38 in Houston, Texas. A West Point graduate and former Apache helicopter pilot with three master's degrees from Cornell, Hunt served eight years in the Army before entering politics. He recently interviewed for Secretary of Defense and continues to serve on the House Judiciary and Natural Resources committees.

Dr. Vishal Patel is the Chief Scientific Officer at Sensei, a wellness retreat company co-founded by Larry Ellison and Dr. David Agus.

Fri, 23 May 2025 08:00:00 -0000

Could your brain be the only barrier to achieving incredible feats? In this episode on the Habits and Hustle podcast, I talk with Henry Abbott about Misogi - an annual challenge so intense you believe you have only a 50% chance of completing it.

We discuss how these epic challenges can rewire your brain to overcome perceived limitations. We also discuss why movement is crucial for pain management, how our brains (not our bodies) create most of our limitations, and why stepping far outside your comfort zone once a year might be the key to unlocking your hidden potential.

Henry Abbott is an award-winning journalist and founder of TrueHoop, a respected basketball media platform. His new book "Ballistic: The New Science of Injury-Free Athletic Performance" explores revolutionary approaches to injury prevention through the science of ballistic movements.

What we discuss:

How movement rewires the brain to overcome perceived limitations and pain
Misogi and its spread among NBA players
The Harvard Fatigue Lab's findings on human physiological limits
Finding the balance between boldness and foolishness in physical challenges

Fri, 21 Mar 2025 09:00:00 -0000

Are hip thrusts better than squats for building glutes?

Fitness coach Tara LaFerrara settles the age-old debate in this week's Fitness Friday episode on the Habits and Hustle Podcast.

We discuss why compound movements like squats, deadlifts, and presses deliver better results than isolation exercises and debunk the myth of spot-toning abs. We also dive into how to determine if you're lifting heavy enough using the RPE scale, appropriate rep ranges for different fitness goals, and why consistent "boring basics" outperform flashy social media workout trends in delivering real results.

What we discuss:

The benefits of different compound exercises
"Waste of time" exercises
The truth about spot-toning and targeting belly fat
Women's common fears about lifting heavy weights

Episode 432: Kris Gethin: The Natural Blueprint for Building Muscle After 40

Fri, 14 Mar 2025 09:00:00 -0000

Can you build muscle naturally as you age?

In this week’s Fitness Friday episode, I talk with fitness expert Kris Gethin, as he reveals that declining testosterone may be the hidden culprit behind your struggle to maintain muscle mass after 40. Most middle-aged fitness enthusiasts who maintain impressive physiques rely heavily on hormone replacement therapy (HRT), but Kris shares a completely natural approach that works.

We discuss surprising testosterone-killers lurking in your daily environment—from cooking with Teflon to the metal fillings in your teeth—and provide practical, scientifically-backed strategies to boost your hormone production naturally. We also dive into cutting-edge biohacking techniques like red light therapy, ice baths, and even how dental work dramatically improved Kris's own hormone levels after suffering from long COVID.

What we discuss:

Natural testosterone optimization vs. HRT dependency
Environmental testosterone killers
Compound exercises that stimulate hormone production
Red light therapy benefits and application techniques
How ice baths and saunas can elevate testosterone levels
Unexpected connection between dental health and hormone production
Natural alternatives to Ozempic and GLP-1 medications for fat loss
Supplements that support testosterone (vitamin D with K2, creatine, progesterone, DHEA)
Blood sugar stabilization techniques for maintaining muscle and losing fat

Episode 418: Dr. Jason Fung: Why Calories Are Not the Key to Weight Loss

Fri, 24 Jan 2025 07:00:00 -0000

Listen to the full episode here: https://youtu.be/nncEWmQFiSo?si=GanDDq9g0w1qDtE4

There's a common belief that weight loss is simply about "calories in, calories out" - but according to Dr. Jason Fung, this is actually false and misleading information.

In this bonus episode of the Habits and Hustle podcast, I talk with the author of The Obesity Code, a renowned expert on obesity and intermittent fasting, who explains that there is much more to gaining or losing weight than just the number of calories consumed. It's not only about the energy in the food, but critically, it's about what your body does with that energy.

We dive into the complex role of hormones and common myths around calories to make a compelling case for why we need to look beyond overly-simplistic "eat less, move more" advice to understand obesity and weight loss.

Dr. Jason Fung is a New York Times-bestselling author of many books including The Obesity Code and The Diabetes Code. He completed medical school at the University of Toronto and a fellowship in nephrology at UCLA. He is the co-founder of The Fasting Method, a program to help people lose weight and reverse type 2 diabetes naturally with intermittent fasting.

What We Discuss:

"Calories in, calories out" overly simplistic
Body stores or burns calories based on hormones
Different foods have different hormonal effects
Insulin drives fat storage; spiked by certain foods
Protein: insulin and satiety effects
Processed carbs especially fattening
Foods' hormonal impacts key, not just calories

Episode 397: Michael Easter on The Comfort Crisis: Is Optimizing Life Making Us Weaker?

Tue, 12 Nov 2024 07:00:00 -0000

Is our obsession with optimization actually making us weaker?

In this episode of the Habits and Hustle podcast, I am joined by Michael Easter, author of "The Comfort Crisis" and "Scarcity Brain," to explore how modern society's relentless pursuit of wellness and optimization might be backfiring.

We discuss the possibility that the more requirements we add to basic human functions (like sleeping, exercising, or working), the more fragile we become. We also dive into elaborate morning routines, sleep-tracking devices, how subtraction, not addition, might be the key to building real resilience in our overly-comfortable world, and the best way to end a day of intellectual work.

Michael Easter has made a career as a New York Times bestselling author by traveling the world to uncover practical ideas that help people live healthier, happier, and more remarkable lives. His research spans from war zones to the Arctic to the Bolivian jungle, where he's interviewed thousands of experts including Nobel laureates and world-class athletes. Easter shares these science-backed insights in his books, including Scarcity Brain and The Comfort Crisis, as well as in his newsletter, Two Percent with Michael Easter. His work has been adopted by professional sports teams, Fortune 500 companies, and elite military units to transform their approaches to physical health, mental well-being, and performance.

What We Discuss:

(00:00) Book Authors Discuss Success and Integrity

(08:27) The Scarcity Loop in Behavior Psychology

(15:34) Behavioral Psychology and Impulse Control

(28:16) Unpredictability and Stimulus Seeking

(42:21) Efficiency Through Resource Subtraction

(50:30) Daily Habits and Mental Stamina

Before becoming a journalist, Julia worked as a teacher, bartender, pizza server, and summer camp “forest ranger”.

Have you ever found yourself waiting for the perfect burst of motivation to start your fitness journey? You're not alone. In this Fitness Friday episode, Andrew Coates and I tackle the age-old question: motivation vs. discipline.

We discuss the common pitfall of procrastination and the importance of starting small, such as simply showing up at the gym.

Procrastination as a common pitfall
Taking action is crucial, rather than waiting for motivation
Starting small to build familiarity and reduce intimidation
"Casting votes for your future self" concept from "Atomic Habits"

Overcoming shame and setbacks
Role of coaches and mentors in creating supportive environments

Episode 361: Raw and Real: Matisyahu on Music, Meditation, and Marching to His Own Beat

Tue, 09 Jul 2024 16:43:44 -0000

Have you ever felt pressure to present a perfect image to the world, hiding your flaws and struggles?

In today’s Habits & Hustle episode, I chat with reggae/hip-hop artist Matisyahu for a remarkably candid conversation. The former Hasidic Jewish rapper opens up about his journey of self-discovery, addiction struggles, and finding balance in life.

Matisyahu's honesty is refreshing as he discusses his daily cannabis use, past cocaine addiction, and the challenges of maintaining sobriety. Rather than striving for an idealized version of himself, he's learned to accept his imperfections while still pursuing growth. As he puts it, he's traded in the "race car version" of himself for a more balanced "family station wagon" approach to life.

This conversation reminds us that authenticity and self-acceptance are far more valuable than presenting a facade of perfection.

Matthew Paul Miller known by his stage name Matisyahu is an American reggae singer, rapper, beatboxer, and musician. Known for blending spiritual themes with reggae, rock and hip hop beatboxing sounds, Matisyahu's 2005 single "King Without a Crown" was a Top 40 hit in the United States. Since 2004, he has released seven studio albums as well as five live albums, two remix CDs and two DVDs featuring live concerts.

What We Discuss:

Matisyahu's journey from Orthodox Judaism to a balanced spiritual approach
The impact of October 7th on Jewish identity and unity
Challenges facing Jewish artists in the current political climate
Balancing family life with a music career
Struggles with addiction and the path to recovery
The use of cannabis and its role in Matisyahu's life
Finding authenticity in the music industry
Reflections on fame, success, and personal growth
The creation of the song "Ascent" and its powerful message
The importance of self-acceptance and embracing imperfections
Navigating career challenges and adapting to industry changes

Episode 358: Sitting Like Our Ancestors: The Key to Musculoskeletal Well-Being

Fri, 28 Jun 2024 07:00:00 -0000

Have you ever considered the benefits of sitting on the floor instead of in a chair? In my Fitness Friday episode of The Habits and Hustle podcast, I explore this fascinating topic with my guest, Aaron Alexander, an expert on functional movement and health.

Spending time on the ground, as many healthy cultures around the world do, can have a profound impact on your musculoskeletal well-being, digestion, and circulation. Aaron explains that sitting on the floor helps to heal the joints, bring new fluids to the joints, circulate lymphatic fluid, and improve digestion by keeping your legs closer to your vital organs.

You'll also discover the concept of "neat" (non-exercise activity thermogenesis) and how incorporating more movement into your daily life can lead to significant health improvements.

Aaron Alexander is a Movement Coach, Creator of the Align Method, Author, and Podcast Host.

What we discuss:

The benefits of sitting on the floor compared to sitting in a chair
Low incidence of osteoarthritis in cultures that spend more time on the ground
Improved digestion when sitting on the floor
Better circulation and lymphatic fluid movement when sitting on the ground
The concept of NEAT and its importance for health
The dangers of outsourcing mechanical efficiency to devices like chairs
The importance of wiggling and moving while sitting, whether on the floor or in a chair
The ideal position for the spine and hips when sitting on the ground

The President shared valuable insights on the resilience and diversity of the Israeli people, the ongoing efforts to recover hostages, and the importance of fighting misinformation and anti-Semitism worldwide.

To grasp the full depth and nuance of the President's perspective, I highly encourage you to listen to the complete podcast episode. Whether you have a long-standing interest in Israel or are just beginning to explore this topic, this conversation offers a rare glimpse into the challenges, hopes, and complexities that shape this region.

President Isaac Herzog is a public official who has been working in the service of the State of Israel and its society for over twenty years. He was born in 1960 to Aura and Chaim Herzog, later Israel’s Sixth President. For three years, Herzog served as the chairman of the Executive of the Jewish Agency for Israel. In July 2021, he was elected president by an unprecedented majority in the Knesset, and he entered office as the Eleventh President of Israel.

Episode 342: The Interplay of Fitness, Attraction, and Dating In Today’s World with LA-Based Fitness Trainer, Liron Kayvan

Fri, 03 May 2024 07:00:00 -0000

Join me and my friend Liron, a fitness coach from Los Angeles, as we discuss the complex relationship between fitness trends, body image, and attracting potential partners. We share personal stories and insights into how men and women design their workout routines in hopes of gaining attention from the opposite sex. We reveal how looks and health intersect in the social environment of the gym.

We also talk about the concept of "parallel play" at the gym, which is a unique way for people to work out individually while still experiencing a sense of community. This shows the multi-faceted nature of modern workout culture.

We also explore cultural beauty standards and how they influence relationships. We look at how subjective attraction can lead people to pursue a "trophy" partner, and the potential judgments that can arise from relationships with large age gaps. We discuss dating preferences, examining how much weight men and women place on physical attributes versus qualities like security and confidence, which could be the ultimate universal attraction.

Don’t miss this episode as we give our thoughts on how dating apps have revolutionized the search for companionship, but may also complicate the path to lasting connections.

Episode 340: Men vs Women: Training Styles, Cardio, Muscle, and More with Liron Kayvan.

Fri, 26 Apr 2024 08:24:30 -0000

Women, have you ever wondered if you should be training differently than men? Tune into today’s episode!

In this episode, Liron and I dive into the often debated question of whether women should train differently than men. Our discussion explores the psychological and physiological aspects of exercise preferences and the importance of a well-rounded fitness routine.

We address the tendency for women to gravitate towards cardiovascular exercises, often due to concerns about building too much muscle or appearing "bulky." However, we emphasize that women are meant to lift weights just as much as men and that doing so offers numerous benefits, especially as we age, including improved bone density, muscle mass, and metabolism.

Throughout the discussion, we stress the importance of symmetrical training for both men and women, highlighting the aesthetic and functional benefits of working the upper body. While we acknowledge that the best exercise is the one you'll actually do, we encourage listeners to embrace shorter, more intense workouts for optimal results.

What we discuss:

Should women train differently than men?
Psychologically women gravitate toward cardiovascular exercises.
Why symmetrical training is important.
The best exercise is the one you’ll do.
Shorter, more intense workouts are better.

She explores the different parameters she has implemented into her everyday life that have greatly changed the way she tackles tasks. She also explains how procrastination can be detrimental to our self esteem, how overcoming procrastination needs to become a habit, and the little things she does to eliminate distractions

All the tips Jennifer shares are simple, tangible, and available to you at any time for whenever you’re ready to start tackling your procrastination, too.

What’s discussed:

0:00 - Introduction to procrastination

1:45 - How some people don’t have time to procrastinate

2:05 - Why we procrastinate on the things we’re bad at

2:53 - How to make big tasks feel less daunting

3:37 - Getting things done first thing in the morning

4:39 - The correlation between procrastination and self esteem

5:59 - How to eliminate distractions

7:44 - Utilizing time blocking

8:30 - Tell us what you think in the Facebook group!

Key Takeaways:

You procrastinate less when you break things down into smaller, sizable chunks. If something feels daunting to you, instead of thinking about the daunting task at hand, reframe the way you think about it by focusing on getting a small piece of it done today. The smaller you can break up your task, the less daunting it will end up feeling.
Procrastination is one of the simplest ways to destroy your self esteem and being your own accountability partner is one of the best ways to build your self esteem. If you make sure you do the things that you tell yourself you're going to do and do them completely, you’ll feel a sense of accomplishment, and that leads to building real self confidence.
Put all the hard things you need to get done at the start of your day. Don’t allow yourself to do anything else until you have fully completed these tasks. Turn this into a habit: Tackle the uncomfortable things first before falling into doing what feels comfortable.

Episode 317: Sal Di Stefano: The Truth Behind Harmful Health Trends

Tue, 06 Feb 2024 07:00:00 -0000

You’re scrolling on Instagram and stop dead in your tracks as you’re served an ad for a ‘new’ fitness product.

Except it’s not new…it’s a slightly sleeker product from 20 years ago that promises you abs of steel in 28 days. While it feels like we face a new fitness trend every week, it’s scary to think that the promise of a ‘quick fix’ is just being recycled over and over again.

In this episode of Habits & Hustle, I’m joined by Sal Di Stefano to reveal the truth behind some of the trends we’re (unfortunately) seeing re-emerge in the health and fitness space. We tackle intermittent fasting, not as a diet trend, but as a cultural practice. And break down how it's being used as another fast way to weight-loss despite its potential health risks, especially for women.

We also debunk a whole host of myths such as: sweat-equals-weight-loss, how much cardio you actually need, plant based ‘milks’ vs dairy milk, the politicization of the vegan diet, and how supplements can completely transform your personal health journey.

Sal Di Stefano is a personal trainer, co-founder of Mind Pump Media and co-host of Mind Pump, a podcast dedicated to providing truthful fitness and health information. Sal is dedicated to prioritizing health over appearance, and he aims to shift the direction of the fitness industry from aesthetic/insecurity based to one based in self-love and self-care.

What we discuss…

(00:01) - Breaking down the truth around major fitness trends

(10:32) - Are fake ‘milks’ actually better for you than dairy milk?

(17:02) - Collagen protein: is it worth the hype?

(28:57) - The real benefits of intermittent fasting and cold plunges for fat loss

(38:36) - Does sweat actually equal weight loss? And how to fix your relationship with exercise

(46:08) - How strength and metabolism are a better indicator of fitness progress than weight alone

(53:17) - The need for exercise consistency over variety and the effects of caffeine on your training

(01:00:13) - How the use of supplements has transformed our personal health journeys

(01:10:34) - Why detaching yourself from the diet crazed culture is essential to long term health

Episode 277: Heather Dubrow: The Real Housewife on the Complexity of Life Under the Spotlight

Tue, 19 Sep 2023 07:00:00 -0000

Sometimes we all wonder, what is it like to be under the permanent scrutiny of millions of judgmental eyes, while living in a reality TV microcosm? This week’s guest on the Habits & Hustle podcast, Heather Dubrow, answers that question. The Real Housewife uncovers the depth and complexity of life under the spotlight and her experience on reality TV – including how show edits can drastically influence viewers' perception of you, her apprehensions about joining a reality TV show, and the impact it had on her acting career.

Heather also dives into the not-so glamorous side of fame in the reality TV sphere as she opens up about facing jealousy, competition, and the evolution of her public persona. She shares insights into how our environment affects our personalities, and what she envisions for her life post-reunion.

Episode 275: Chevy Chase: Why You Need to Stop Giving A Sh*t to Succeed

Tue, 12 Sep 2023 07:00:00 -0000

In this episode of Habits and Hustle, I chat with the legendary Chevy Chase about the comedy industry’s best kept secrets. From jazz piano to drumming, we dive into his hidden talents and his first big break in comedy - setting the stage for a life filled with laughter and unforgettable moments.

Moving from comedy gold to silver screen gems, we lift the veil on Chevy’s versatile acting journey. Celebrated for his quick comedic timing, Tony shares his favorite characters, his comedy influences, and the strategic choices he made throughout his career. Get ready for some exclusive insights into some truly classic cult films.

Chevy Chase is a comedian, actor, and writer. From being a key cast member on the first season of “Saturday Night Live” to having his late-night talk show in 1993, this actor has given people a run for their money. Chase has a career that spans over five decades. He’s been in 101 films and television shows, written 14 productions, and produced a T.V. show and a documentary.

What we discuss:

02:36: Was Chevy always funny?

11:29: How did Chevy come up with the idea of his show?

22:38: Why did Chevy leave Saturday Night Live?

26:41: What movies is Chevy really known for?

31:05: How would the writing work?

33:25: How did Chevy pick his roles?

44:47: Did Chevy ever regret turning down a role?

55:50: What are the coolest things Chevy has got himself involved in?

01:08:20: What is Chevy’s morning routine like?

01:11:24: Does Chevy have any hobbies?

01:12:33: What is Chevy working on now?

01:13:32: Where did Chevy get his nickname?

Key takeaways:

When you have a natural talent in an artistic field, it’s easy to fall into the mold that executives may want you to morph yourself to fit into. However, the reason why people in the creative field are successful is because of their unique abilities. Thus, it’s important to adopt a “ I don’t give a sh*t” attitude and express yourself in the way that is natural to you and which you are known for.

People tend to have a certain affinity towards specific types of arts such as paintings or music, but snub people who watch too much TV. What people with this attitude fail to realize is that watching TV is how you can admire and appreciate the work of the actors, directors, and writers that poured their hearts into bringing this piece of art to life for their spectators. Thus, you shouldn’t feel guilty about sitting down to watch TV if it’s to enjoy a good movie or TV show - it’s simply another form of art to appreciate.

Episode 272: Why You Need to Stop Focusing on The Now

Fri, 01 Sep 2023 07:00:00 -0000

Do you let the feeling of “not feeling like it” get in the way of your goals?

In this solo episode of the Habits and Hustle podcast, I chat about the importance of focusing on how you will feel in the future, after you do something that you know you should do, instead of focusing on how you feel in the moment. Whether it be working out or drinking, it’s important to think of how you feel now and how it may make you feel after you do the “thing”.

What I discuss:

00:43: Where should you put your focus?

05:16: Why do people enjoy alcohol?

08:01: How should you think of what to focus on?

Episode 263: Professor Scott Galloway: Why Following Your Passion is Only For The Rich

Tue, 01 Aug 2023 07:00:00 -0000

Is following your passion really the way to go if you want to become rich?

In this episode of Habits and Hustle, I chat with Professor Scott Galloway, our esteemed guest on this episode, who turned a major disappointment – being turned away from UCLA tryouts – into a driving force that sparked profound personal growth and transformation. A renowned author and motivational speaker, Tony shares tales of his struggles and successes, unearthing invaluable insights about commitment, finding your niche, and embracing personal evolution.

Professor Galloway explains how success isn't merely about intelligence. It's a complex blend of risk-taking, aggression, sales skills, seizing opportunities, and living life to the fullest. He also explains how it's not all about personal journeys - we also navigate the broader societal landscape, examining the profound impact technology has on relationships, dating, and socialization, as well as the loneliness epidemic that’s silently wreaking havoc in our society.

Scott Galloway is a Professor of Marketing at NYU Stern School of Business where he teaches Brand Strategy and Digital Marketing to MBA students and is the author of the Digital IQ Index ®, a global ranking of prestige brands' digital competence. In 2012, Professor Galloway was named "One of the World's 50 Best Business School Professors".

What we discuss:

(0:00:01) - Following Passion and Personal Growth

(0:10:54) - The Correlation Between Intelligence and Success

(0:15:12) - Moving to London and Life Experiences

(0:26:50) - Evolution of Courses and Personal Reflections

(0:31:16) - Technology's Impact on Human Relationships

(0:44:04) - Challenges and Solutions for Young Men

(0:51:10) - Technology's Impact on Relationships and Mental Health

(1:03:36) - Social Media Impact, Fitness Importance

(1:10:50) - Coping With Depression and Hollywood Frustrations

(1:21:13) - Book Promotion and Appreciation

Key takeaways:

The truth about the common advice of “following your passion” is that the person giving you this advice is already rich. They also most likely made their billions in iron or smelting. Ideally, find something you like that has 90 plus percent employment rate, which things like acting, modeling, sports do not have. Then, commit to becoming great at it. So if you find something you're good at and you start making money at it, the passion will follow.

The correlation between intelligence and success exists, but it tops out. A person who's got a 120 IQ is much more likely to be successful than someone at 80. But above that, it flatlines. Plus, when you get really, really smart, it actually turns on you and that is because you become so thoughtful and see so many downsides to everything. One thing that entrepreneurs have is they’re too stupid to know we're going to fail.

In this solo episode of Habits and Hustle, I chat with you about the difference between a family trip and a vacation. While society may like to make you believe that these family trips are necessary for building family memories, they’re not the trips that will allow you to come back to reality feeling fully rested.

What I discuss:

02:02: Is it possible to have a relaxing trip?

Episode 257: Elon Gold: The Truth About Achieving Greatness in the Showbiz

Tue, 11 Jul 2023 07:00:00 -0000

Have you ever wondered what life behind the mic of a comedian looks like?

In this episode of Habits and Hustle, we chat with the ever-so-hilarious and insightful, Elon Gold. We kick off with a raw and humorous chat on the hustle and grind of the comedy world and exploring how he started. Elon also expands on the significant impact of Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David on Elon's career, to a chat about our comedy heroes, the industry's challenges, and how comedy can be a powerful tool against hatred.

We delve into profound talks on faith, tradition, and God, underscoring the importance of having a support system. We reminisce on starting out in comedy, the struggles, and the glory. Elon opens up about the success of his 'Funny Quarantine' show and expresses his admiration for Howie Mandel’s comedic genius. There's also a thoughtful exposition on being Modern Orthodox and the essence of keeping traditions alive.

Elon Gold is a comedian and actor who has starred in FOX's 'Stacked’ and NBC's 'In-Laws’. His one hour stand up special on Netflix, “Elon Gold: Chosen & Taken” received wide acclaim from audiences and peers alike. It is currently streaming on Amazon Prime.

What we discuss:

(0:00:00) - About Elon Gold's Comedy Career

(0:10:57) - How important is tradition and belief in God?

(0:23:22) - How does the show business work?

(0:28:06) - Joining Larry David's Show Journey

(0:38:17) - How does making a living in comedy look like?

(0:41:02) - What lessons can comedy teach us?

(0:51:22) - What can comedy do to help with recent incidents against jews?

(1:00:02) - Should comedians cover controversial topics?

(1:12:58) - Which women in comedy are the funniest?

(1:18:55) - What type of people should we take advice from?

(1:33:36) - What does Elon like to do to relax?

(1:43:43) - What is the secret to a successful marriage?

Key takeaways:

When you wake up in the morning, it’s important to meditate so you can focus on the beauty and truth in your life. However, it’s equally important that you express gratitude for everything worth being grateful about in your life. Whether you like to observe your own thoughts or talk to your God, spending time reflecting on your thoughts and thanking the Universe or God for everything you have is imperative to a happy and successful life.

In the show business, there’s no such thing as someone helping you out just for the sake of helping you out. In order for someone to give you a shot or a big break, it needs to be mutually beneficial. This is something that may sound harsh, but it is true in other types of relationships as well, such as romantic ones. If one partner is the only one doing all the work, the relationship won’t survive.

Every and any talent you have is God-given. You are born good at something for a reason but you have to work very hard to be great at it. This talent is given to you so you know which craft to work on and become the best at.

Episode 255: Jillian Turecki: The #1 Reason Why Dating Is So Hard These Days

Tue, 04 Jul 2023 07:00:00 -0000

We've all experienced it: the gut-wrenching pain of a heartbreak and the eventual struggle to understand the dynamics of relationships.

In this episode of Habits and Hustle, we dive deep into the intricacies of relationships, discussing everything from the psychology behind relationship patterns to the role of stress, selfishness, and fear of rejection with Jillian Turecki. Jillian enlightened us with her distinctive insights on topics such as the reality of soulmates and the idea that a long-term relationship requires continuous choices. We also took a hard look at trauma bonds, anxious attachment, and the importance of becoming radically self-aware to break destructive cycles. This conversation was not just intellectual but also deeply personal, as it drew from Jillian's experiences and expertise.

Finally, we shifted our focus to some of the more nuanced aspects of relationships. We ruminated on gender differences in emotional connections with sex, pondered over the concept of safety for women due to their vulnerability, and tackled the vexing issue of lost attraction in an otherwise fulfilling relationship.

Jillian Turecki is a certified relationship coach, teacher and writer who for 20 years has taught others how to transform their relationships with themselves. Under the tutelage of Tony Robbins and world renowned family therapist Cloe Madanes, Jillian is certified by the Robbins Madanes Center for Strategic Intervention. Fueled by an insatiable curiosity about what makes a relationship thrive, Jillian has helped thousands through her teaching and writing revolutionize their relationship with themselves so that they transform their relationships with others.

What we discuss:

(0:00:01) - How did Jillian becoming a relationship coach?

(0:11:02) - Are our relationship expectations realistic or selfish?

(0:22:47) - How to break bad relationship patterns

(0:33:35) - Busting myths about relationships

(0:40:30) - How important is emotional connection in sex?

Key Takeaways:

There’s no such thing as one soulmate. People come into our lives for various reasons and not everyone who feels like a soulmate is. Not everything is meant to be a life story. Some people come into our lives to wake us up. Some people come into our lives to help us through a period of time. Some people come into our lives to show us some adventure.

If you lose attraction towards a partner, you have to understand why. A couple can bring it back if they understand the why and they work on the why. And especially if there was once a lot of attraction in the beginning. It is something that typically can be resurrected as long as the other things are sort of rectified and worked on.

We learn about our attachment styles and we learn about what we're experiencing on the attachment spectrum, based on who we are relating to. And it's also very dependent on what else is going on in our lives. For example, if we're going through a very difficult time in our lives, we might become more anxiously attached to someone because we think on a subconscious level that this person is going to rescue us and is going to make it all better.

Episode 253: ALOK: How to Be Authentically You in A World Full of Fakes

Do you ever wonder why society hates people who live authentically?

In this episode of Habits and Hustle, I chat with ALOK about their observations on what happens to us when we aren’t living authentically, what happens when we finally start living authentically, and what kind of reactions we may provoke from society…and why those reactions are okay!

ALOK also shares their personal experience on how they had internalized feelings of hate towards themselves, how it almost drove them to suicide, and how they were able to come out on the other side.

ALOK (they/them) is an internationally acclaimed author, poet, comedian, and public speaker. As a mixed-media artists, their work explores themes of trauma, belonging, and the human condition.

What we discuss:

01:53: About Alok

07:29: How was Alok brought up?

11:05: How did Alok start living authentically?

18:20: How can you start living an authentic life?

19:45: Was Alok jealous of other people who came out before them?

23:25: Where do LGBTQ prejudices come from?

40:19: What was Alok’s experience with suicide?

46:55: What does Alok journal about?

54:28: How would Alok call themselves?

01:10:25: Where can you learn more about Alok?

Key Takeaways:

Most of us feel depressed, anxious, and sad because we are not living authentically. We are living lives that others, whether it be our parents or society, tell us we “should” live. We tend to sacrifice what our truth is and as a result, live a life that is out of alignment with what we truly want and are passionate about.

The biggest motivator behind the hate many people who go against the grain is jealousy and envy. When someone sees someone else rejecting what society has forced on them, they express it as anger and hate, but it stems from the feeling of being upset with themselves that they don’t have the same courage as that person to live the life they want.

Episode 251: Neil deGrasse Tyson: Why Embracing Wonder is Critical For Personal Growth

Tue, 20 Jun 2023 09:00:00 -0000

Do you consider yourself to be curious enough?

In this episode of Habits and Hustle, Neil deGrasse Tyson and I explore the importance of retaining our childhood curiosity and how it plays a crucial role in our lives as adults. Neil shares his insights on nurturing curiosity and how fear of failure can hinder our progress in maintaining that innate sense of wonder.

During our conversation, Neil also shares his unique perspective on using pop culture in education, the future of AI, and the complexities of quantum physics and philosophy. As an astrophysicist, Neil brings a cosmic perspective to our discussion, offering wisdom and knowledge that will surely spark your curiosity and ignite your passion for learning.

Finally, we touch on the challenges and opportunities in transforming the school system, the role of religion, and even ponder hypothetical conversations with interesting historical figures. Don't miss this captivating episode with the one and only Neil deGrasse Tyson as we explore the universe and beyond together.

Neil deGrasse Tyson earned his BA in Physics from Harvard and his PhD in Astrophysics from Columbia. In 2001, Tyson was appointed by President Bush to serve on a twelve-member commission that studied the Future of the U.S. Aerospace Industry. The final report was published in 2002 and contained recommendations (for Congress and for the major agencies of the government) that would promote a thriving future of transportation, space exploration, and national security.

What we discuss:

(0:00:01) - How important is it to retaining childhood curiosity and exploration in adulthood?

(0:13:08) - What role does pop culture have in education?

(0:17:09) - How Neil used Twitter to spark curiosity

(0:29:25) - What does Neil think of AI's Future and implicated ethics?

(0:38:50) - What do we know to be true in quantum physics and philosophy?

(0:54:19) - How can we transforming the school system?

(1:04:19) - A discussion about religion, gender, and continuums

(1:19:13) - Who would Neil like to have a conversation with if given the opportunity?

(1:27:36) - Why you should be Ashamed to die

Key Takeaways:

Living forever comes with its own set of challenges, including resource conservation, terraforming Mars, and the lack of urgency in life. We explore the concept of 'escape velocity of aging,' where the number of years that passes equals the increase in the average life expectancy of civilization, and how it could lead to humanity living forever. However, living forever comes with a bigger existential problem. See, knowing our mortality gives us meaning to our lives and how living forever could potentially lead to a life with no meaning.

Curiosity and exploration are important. However, most parents have a natural instinct to protect their child may prevent them from learning important lessons in life. Think of how a seemingly mundane event such as a child playing with an egg can become an entire conversation about the natural world, and how the cost of ignorance can be more expensive than the cost of education.

There are three categories of truth: personal truth, objective truth, and truth that is repeated. We acknowledge personal truths can invoke powerful emotions and even lead to armed conflict. Each one of these truths have their own characteristics that make it true in its own definition.

Episode 248: 3 Hard Truths About Relationships

Fri, 09 Jun 2023 07:00:00 -0000

Do you have a bit of friction in your relationship?

In this solo episode of Habits and Hustle, we share the 3 hard truths about relationships and what these mean for you. Whether it be trying too hard to be liked, agreeing with everything your partner asks from you, or disliking certain qualities in others, these tend to bring up some hard truths about yourself.

What we discuss:

01:20: 3 hard truths about relationships

02:06: Does trying too hard make someone else not like you?

05:29: What does the quality you dislike in someone else mean about you?

10:51: Do you need a bit of friction in relationships?

14:39: Can what we dislike change throughout time?

Key Takeaways:

When you try too hard to be liked by others, you may come off as desperate. This will make it a lot harder for the person you’re trying to impress to like you.

If you dislike a quality in someone, it may be because you see it in yourself. Do some self-reflection next time you point something out about your partner.

Relationships, where there is little to no friction, don’t work - you can’t always agree on everything at all times and have a really strong bond.

Episode 247: Robin Arzón: The Secret To Building Self-Confidence and Setting Boundaries

Tue, 06 Jun 2023 07:00:00 -0000

Do you believe you have what it takes?

In this episode of Habits and Hustle, I chat with Robin Arzón about how she built the self-confidence to go after the life she wants and accomplish her ambitious goals. Regardless of how big she was thinking, she always felt like she could get what she wanted as she not only put in the physical work but also put in the effort for her mindset. Through her journaling practice, she asks herself the right questions to prime her mind to believe she is capable of everything she wanted.

Robin also shares how she set boundaries with the things that don’t serve her, so she can have time for the things that do. Whether it be to spend time with her family or to focus on more important projects, she explains that she had to learn how to say no and what to say no to.

Robin Arzón is Vice President of Fitness Programming and Head Instructor at Peloton. She believes that sweat transforms lives, and her story is living proof. Formerly a corporate lawyer, Arzón left behind a successful law career to embark on new adventures in the health and wellness space and has since reinvented herself into a 27x marathon and ultra-marathon runner, MasterClass instructor, highly-sought after keynote speaker, 2x New York Times bestselling author, and author of the forthcoming self-empowerment journal, Welcome, Hustler: An Empowerment Journal, publishing September 26, 2023. Most recently, Arzón founded Swagger Society, the first lifestyle membership club in Web3, and a kingdom of hustlers that share a growth mindset and the collective goal of leveling up in life.

What we discuss:

01:27: How connected are the words “hustle” and “confidence”?

03:44: What is Robin’s story?

06:36: How did Robin accomplish everything she did at Peloton?

09:00: What does Robin look for in the people she hires?

10:20: How can you find the inner confidence to change careers?

17:04: Can you teach someone self-belief and confidence?

19:24: Did Robin have an idea of what Peloton would bring to her life?

21:02: How many classes does Robin teach in a day?

21:54: What does a day in life look like for Robin?

25:02: How does Robin get everything done?

26:01: How does Robin decide when she is going to say “no”?

27:55: How does Robin balance her career and personal life?

30:26: What is Robin Web3's project about?

35:56: Does Robin think Web3 will be the next big thing?

36:37: What habits does Robin practice daily?

40:12: What is on Robin’s vision board?

Key Takeaways:

Learning how to say no is just as important as figuring out what you’re going to say no to. It’s not always a question of “What do I have time for” but also a question of “What do I want to do?” Before you add something to your calendar, it should be something you feel like doing, that you can show up as your best self, and that will help you progress towards the end goal. So if it’s a mediocre “yes”, it’s a no.

Nurturing your self-belief and building confidence starts by asking yourself the right questions. When you are honest with yourself and set out what you are capable of, what you can do, and why nothing is stopping you other than your mind, it becomes a lot easier to believe in yourself and move forward. Through the actions you take and the experience you gain, you will eventually build up your confidence. After all, confidence can only be built through action.

Your daily habits are how you prime your brain to accomplish everything you have set out for yourself. Because once the brain is set on a goal, the body will follow. So by adopting daily practices like journaling, visualization, and other habits of this sort, you are prepping yourself mentally to go for everything you want in life.

Episode 246: Do Opposites Really Attract in Relationships?

Fri, 02 Jun 2023 07:00:00 -0000

Do you think opposites attract?

In this solo episode of Habits and Hustle, we chat about whether or not opposites really do attract in relationships and whether it’s a good idea or not to be in a relationship with someone who is the total opposite of you. The reality is, similarities between personalities and values are key to a long-lasting relationship.

What we discuss:

01:32: Do opposites attract?

02:26: Do personalities have to be opposites?

08:10: What does the research say on whether opposites attract or not?

14:11: Is it possible for love to slowly grow over time?

Key Takeaways:

While many people may be looking for opposites in potential partners to complement their personalities, it could be a better idea to look for similarities.

Your partner’s values must align with your own. This is not something you can compromise on nor would it be a good idea to look for someone with opposite values as yours.

Episode 243: Vani Hari: How to Stop Food Lies and Fight Food Corruption

Tue, 23 May 2023 07:00:00 -0000

Do you really believe that cardiologists recommend Cheerios?

In this episode of Habits and Hustle, I chat with Vani Hari about the lies that multi-billion dollar industries are feeding us every day when it comes to our foods. From misleading statements to paying for health associations to give their seal of approval for their products, the corruption in the food industry is enormous. Vani explains how it’s up to you to watch out for yourself and make informed decisions when buying food for your family. Not only does she provides tips on how you can do that, but she also shares some of the corruption she witnessed first-hand.

Vani Hari is an activist that lives in North Carolina and the author of the new book, The Food Babe Way, which guides 21 essential habits she taught herself to take control of her health.

What we discuss:

01:17: How did Vani get started in the food industry?

12:03: How did Vani monetize her blog?

14:43: Who are Vani’s business partners?

19:27: What’s happening in the food industry?

24:38: Do health associations care about our health?

26:57: What is the three questions detox?

34:26: What is the difference between organic and grass-fed?

36:24: What buzzwords do you need to watch out for?

38:10: Why are American companies using better ingredients for overseas consumption but not in the United States?

46:18: How do Vani’s kids eat?

53:00: How can you eat healthy when you’re out and about?

56:47: Where can you find Truvani products?

Key takeaways:

Our food is corrupted in America. Most of the labels we see on our foods aren’t worth much - they’re pay to play and multi-billion dollar companies have the money to play. For example. health associations are putting their stamps of approval on products in exchange for a large cheque. As a result, these companies are playing with our health as we trust these indications on food packaging as telling the quality of a product we are buying. We need to inform ourselves about what these companies are putting in our food so we can make better decisions at the grocery store.

Most food companies in the United States are purposely feeding Americans lower-quality foods using lower-quality ingredients, simply because they can and the regulations allow them to. But when it comes to expanding overseas, these same companies have no issue using better quality ingredients to serve those populations to comply with their regulations over food. Thus, these companies do have the “winning recipe” for making better quality foods here in America but chose not to.

You can’t take anything for face value when you’re reading marketing statements on a product’s packaging. Many of these statements can be manipulated to make you believe that products are a lot healthier for you than they are. This is why learning how to read labels and researching what some of the added ingredients are is your best bet for buying foods that aren’t harmful to your health.

Episode 241: Darin Olien: The Invisible Fatal Conveniences You Need to Know About

Tue, 16 May 2023 07:00:00 -0000

What do you think is more dangerous: breathing in smog or flossing your teeth?

In this episode of Habits and Hustle, I chat with Darin Olien about the invisible fatal conveniences we use and do every day. The world we live in makes us believe we have to but in reality, these conveniences are harming us and the planet.

Darin stresses how important it is to take our health into our own hands, do our own research and due diligence, and make decisions for our health. One should never trust companies to do what’s in our best interest. And the same goes for government agencies, like the FDA, that we think are there to protect us: they aren’t.

Darin Olien is co-host of the Emmy™ Award Winning, #1 Netflix docu-series, Down to Earth with Zac Efron. He has spent nearly 20 years exploring the planet discovering new and underutilized exotic foods and medicinal plants as a Superfood hunter Darin developed, Shakeology. He is also the founder of Barukas™, the most nutrient-dense nut in the world coming from the Savannah “Cerrado” of Brazil. As host of the widely popular podcast The Darin Olien Show, Darin curiously explores people, solutions, and health as well as life’s Fatal Conveniences™ – a segment of the show uncovering modern-day flaws and challenges that may be undermining our health and our environment.

What we discuss:

01:12: What motivated Darin to write his latest book?

09:32: How bad are EMFs for our health?

10:25: What do AirPods do to your health?

24:59: Does airplane mode make your phone safer to look around for you?

26:25: Are our gadgets causing cancer?

27:45: What’s the solution to tracking your health?

30:53: Are the TSA scanners dangerous?

35:53: Is spandex safe?

39:22: Is cotton safer than polyester?

49:16: What is the most shocking fatal convenience?

54:35: How can we learn more about which products are dangerous?

59:10: How sensitive was Darin’s dad to chemicals?

1:02:55: What are the symptoms that you are over-exposed to chemicals?

1:06:33: Is aging cream doing what it claims to do?

1:10:34: How can you turn a fatal convenience into a healthy convenience?

1:12:36: What are the benefits of Barukas nuts?

1:16:19: How is Shakeology different from other brands?

1:20:07: What is Darin’s morning routine?

Key takeaways:

When it comes to your health, you cannot under any circumstance trust companies to do what’s in your best interest. And the same goes for government agencies, like the FDA, that we think are there to protect us: they aren’t. You need to take your health into your own hands, do your own research and due diligence, and make decisions for your health.

Most fatal conveniences that are in our food can easily be avoided with one simple solution: grow your food. Not only is the produce that you grow yourself best for you, but they eventually become more convenient to eat than to go to the supermarket and picking out supposedly “fresh” produce.

Most of the pains, aches, and illnesses we are experiencing are symptoms of over-exposure to chemicals and pollutants. When you start feeling anything other than healthy, it’s a sign that you need to change your lifestyle and be more careful of what it is you ingest, breathe in, and wear.

Episode 238: Can You Really Manifest Your Way To Success?

Fri, 05 May 2023 07:00:00 -0000

Do you believe in manifestation?

In this solo episode of Habits and Hustle, we chat about how some components of manifestation are helpful in one’s self-development journey, while others are detrimental.

Too many people fall into the trap of believing that their thoughts alone can bring them riches - but the reality is that thoughts don’t do the work for you - only you can.

What we discuss:

01:28: Does manifestation work?

03:58: Do we overestimate how much control we have?

08:24: Is manifesting self-care?

10:02: Is the coaching industry giving manifesting a bad wrap?

14:40: How can you avoid getting scammed by a coach in this industry?

Key takeaways:

There is value in visualizing yourself achieving success, but these thoughts are not enough to experience success in real life. You must put in the work and take action.

Manifestation has become an industry of its own, where coaches have taken over and are preying on people who may want to believe that their thoughts alone can give them everything they desire.

Manifestation discards the fact that you are never 100% in control of external factors. The reality is that certain things are far beyond your control and you can’t manifest your way out of it.

Episode 237: All Day Running Co.: The Mindset, Lessons, and Benefits Of Biking 3,000 Miles Across America

Tue, 02 May 2023 07:00:00 -0000

Would you embark on a 3,000 miles biking journey across America if you were asked to, right now?!

In this episode of Habits and Hustle, I chat with Jesse Itzler and his crew about the 3,000 miles journey across America they are about to embark on to donate bikes to youth. We discuss what mindset they have about this physically tiring journey, what the mental and physical training for such a challenge is like, and how they prepare for such a big challenge ahead of time.

Jesse also shares how he selected this year’s team and what every member of this team believes they will gain from accomplishing this cross-country biking challenge.

What we discuss:

04:27: Why did Jesse want to start this?

07:08: What is everyone’s background?

10:54: What does the training for this type of sport look like?

14:42: What happens if someone needs a break?

16:23: What happens if the weather isn’t in their favor?

18:43: How is nutrition during a challenge like this?

23:17: What are the benefits of these types of challenges?

27:41: How much support does everyone have from their significant other?

30:29: How does one enter the flow state in a challenge like this?

32:35: How did Jesse select his teammates?

42:06: What are the craziest things this team has done?

45:59: What will they do with the footage they get from this challenge?

47:40: How many hours per day do they expect to be on the bike?

48:05: What other things are on their bucket list?

Key takeaways:

It’s important to spend time with people who are different from you. Different ages, careers, industries, values, and situations expose you to new realities and wisdom you would never have known of before. An even better way to spend time with people who are different from you is during a challenging time; they will expose you to new perspectives you may have never thought of before.

Forcing yourself to take on new challenges that are beyond your comfort zone is what will allow your brain to expand and propel your growth.

Working towards a common goal as a team is what will allow you to get to the finish line. Sometimes, not everyone can pull their equal weight at the same time and that’s part of the game. As long as you all support yourselves in working towards that same goal, you’re set for success.

Episode 235: Bob Does Sports: How He Went From Four Seasons Doorman To Multi-Millionaire Content Creator

Tue, 25 Apr 2023 07:00:00 -0000

Would you ever take the chance of faking a sponsorship?

In this episode of Habits and Hustle, I sit down with Robby Berger, also known as Bob Does Sports, and chat about his journey from being a doorman at The Four Seasons Hotel to being a multi-millionaire content creator. In just a little over two years, Bob has built up an enormous following through different platforms and gigs, such as Bob Does Sports and The Brilliantly Dumb Podcast. He shares with us how he got Yamaha to be his first podcast sponsor, how much money he makes from sponsorships, and how he built a team from scratch.

Bob also shares what his morning routine is like and why he believes his audience got so engaged with his content so quickly in the game.

Robby Berger is a podcast host known as the personality "Bobby Fairways" that hosts both the podcast The Brilliantly Dumb Show, and its offshoot show, Bob Does Sports, which is popular on Instagram. Both shows focus on comedy and his fandom for sports, mostly the sport of golf.

What we discuss:

00:28: About Bob

05:18: Why did Bob get a job at The Four Seasons?

15:31: When did Bob quit The Four Seasons?

18:55: Who was Bob’s first sponsor?

24:40: Who was Joey cold-cuts?

29:28: How did Bob grow his audience?

38:21: What did Bob do when he stopped getting paid?

44:01: What happened when Bob started filming golf content?

45:15: Who’s idea was Breezy Golf?

49:17: How much money is Bob making?

54:16: Who is Bob’s manager?

55:29: What is Bob’s sponsorship pricing?

59:20: Is it a real golf tournament that Bob is a part of?

01:04:04: What ownership does Bob have in these different businesses?

01:07:13: Why did Bob break up with his girlfriend?

01:13:42: What deals does Bob have going on right now?

01:18:26: Where are Bob’s favorite bagels from?

01:20:54: What is Bob’s morning routine?

01:27:56: How did Bob’s audience get so engaged?

01:29:17: What food does Bob eat?

01:46:52: Where to learn more about Bob?

Key Takeaways:

Sometimes you have to fake it until you make it if you want to experience success. While Bob Does Sports has a huge audience and plenty of major sponsors today, he started by faking a year-long sponsorship with Windex to lure potential sponsors in. This allowed him to play his cards right and lock down his first real sponsor, Yamaha.

Building a team that cares as much about the business as you do is the key to building something big and worthwhile. In Bob’s experience, he once reached a point where he had no money to pay his editor and he continued to support his content and work for free because he believed in Bob. If it weren’t for his editor, he wouldn’t have the massive audience and success he has today.

Monetizing your audience is something you should look at like any other type of business. There is more than just one way you can generate revenue and it’s certainly not good practice to rely on one source of revenue. In Bob’s case, he makes money through Cameo videos, sponsorships, ads, and merch, and eventually built a Golfing brand.

Episode 231: Ozan Varol: How to Stop Overthinking and Start Quitting

Tue, 11 Apr 2023 07:00:00 -0000

How much do you get done when you’re multi-tasking?

In this episode of Habits and Hustle, I chat with Ozan Varol about the importance of staying focused on only one thing at a time to maximize productivity, how to stop overthinking, and why we need to learn how to quit.

He also shares the importance of taking some time to do nothing, such as staring out a window. Oftentimes, sitting with your thoughts is more productive than answering emails.

Ozan Varol is a rocket scientist turned award-winning professor, #1 bestselling author, and internationally acclaimed speaker. He is one of the world’s foremost experts in creativity, innovation, and critical thinking. He helps industry-leading organizations reimagine the status quo with moonshot thinking.

What we discuss:

02:03: What does it mean to escape conformity?

04:10: Why should we unlearn the habits we have picked up?

08:44: Why should you stop multi-tasking?

11:43: What’s the tinfoil-wrapped chocolate theory?

15:18: What is Ozan’s villain story?

17:22: What made Ozan want to write a book about nonconformity?

21:26: Can quitting be the solution?

24:54: Is persistence always the answer?

25:21: Where can you find the courage to quit?

28:51: Why are you still doing things the same way?

34:12: What are the adverse reactions to meditations?

39:01: What about Ozan doesn’t fit into the bucket of being a rocket scientist?

43:18: How can we stop overthinking?

46:26: How can we become more resilient?

52:26: What’s the worst piece of advice that Ozan has received?

55:26: What is a brain attic?

01:01:22: Why you should stop calling your office “the office”?

Key Takeaways:

Experimenting beats overthinking every single time. Oftentimes, we spend a lot of time thinking about the plan for a new project we want to work on. The problem with that is we often get stuck in this stage, as it gives us the illusion we’re making progress when in reality, we’ve made no progress at all. That’s why it’s important that you skip the overthinking and overplanning stage and instead, experiment. By taking action, you learn quickly enough the things you’ve been trying to find out by “thinking” and can adapt quicker.

Knowing when to quit is just as important as knowing when you need to keep pushing. Sometimes, the job you have isn’t cutting it anymore, and quitting it is what will bring you to your next level. In other cases, your business may feel impossible to break even but you need to keep pushing. Whatever it is you are doing or want to accomplish, it’s important you know how to quit and put your foot on the pedal.

Most of the habits we have picked up were habits created by other people who ingrained them into us. They thought for us, and we simply take on what they pass on without questioning it. However, that’s no way to live through life as a life of conformity is in no way a fruitful one. You are meant to use your thinking skills to ideate a life you want for yourself and put it into play.

Episode 230: Self-Rejection: What It Is and How To Overcome It

Fri, 07 Apr 2023 07:00:00 -0000

Are you rejecting yourself before anyone else has the chance to?

In this solo episode of Habits and Hustle, I chat with you about self-rejection. I go over what it means, why we do it, what are some of the symptoms you are self-rejecting, and what you can do to overcome it. I also explain the difference between self-rejection and self-sabotage.

What we discuss:

01:04: What is self-rejection?

03:51: Self-rejection vs Self-sabotage: what’s the difference?

06:46: How to overcome self-rejection

Key takeaways:

Self-rejection is when you reject yourself first, to avoid others rejecting you. When you self-reject, you put more value on others' thoughts and opinions than your own opinion of yourself.

Symptoms of self-rejection tend to evolve around self-punitive habits such as turning down or not accepting compliments, turning down opportunities you are being presented with, and bringing other people down based on things you see in yourself.

To overcome self-rejection, you must replace a bad habit with a good one. This means learning how to accept compliments, learning how to become less judgemental of others and yourself, and taking a chance on yourself when presented with great opportunities.

Episode 229: David Nurse: How to Identify Your Action Archetypes

Tue, 04 Apr 2023 07:00:00 -0000

What we discuss:

00:34: About David

03:06: What is an action archetype?

05:11: Can we fit into more than one archetype?

07:43: How can you overcome fear?

09:11: How can being a comedian help you overcome fear?

10:41: What is the burn archetype?

12:14: What happens if you don’t become aware of your past burns?

13:56: What do your pressure points say about your emotions?

16:18: What is the inopportune archetype?

18:19: How can you get over this inopportune feeling?

20:44: What is self-efficacy?

26:22: How did David become a coach?

29:05: What does it take to be an NBA coach?

39:32: What role does ego play in people giving you a chance?

42:12: Which players did David work with?

45:38: How much do coaches in the NBA make?

48:36: Did David’s uncle help him get involved with the Raptors?

51:50: What is the perfectionist archetype?

53:45: How can you get over perfectionism?

01:03:10: Where can you learn more about David?

Key Takeaways:

When we fail to take action, it’s usually due to some type of fear that is holding us back. David Nurse explains how we classify these types of fears by something he calls “action archetypes”. Some of us fall into the perfectionist archetype, where we don’t take action unless we feel everything is perfect. Other people fall into the inopportune archetype, where we feel like we can’t take action because it’s not the right time and/or right conditions. Whichever archetype you fall into, it’s crucial to become aware of it so you can get yourself out of it and start taking action.

To overcome fear, you need to look at yourself from a different point of view other than the one where you have access to your internal thoughts. David’s advice is to look at yourself as a comedy show. What he means here is to take a step back when you’re experiencing fear to observe yourself. Go from being the actor in the comedy show to being the viewer. When you do this, don’t be afraid to laugh at yourself. This will help you put in perspective how your fears may be irrational and that you’re capable of getting through them.

It’s great to have confidence in yourself and a high level of self-esteem, but it’s not enough to have one or the other. What you need is to have both of these traits and then combine them with action. It’s through having high levels of confidence, and self-esteem, and taking action that you develop self-efficacy.

Episode 228: Decoding Trendy Slang Words

Fri, 31 Mar 2023 07:00:00 -0000

Do you know what it means to have drip?

In this episode of Habits and Hustle, we go through a list of slang terms used by Gen Z in every day life and on social media. We go through what these slang terms mean, how to use them in a sentence, and where they originate from.

What we discuss:

01:17: What does “drip” mean?

02:25: What does “extra” mean?

03:31: What does “it is giving” means?

05:51: What does “rizz” mean?

06:44: What does “ touch grass” mean?

07:17: What are the top 10 slang words?

09:10: What is a “simp”?

Takeaways:

Many of the slang words young people are using these days are borrowed from other languages, other cultures, and other countries. Examples include British terms such as “lads” as a synonym to men and “ savage” from Black culture to describe someone who is not holding back.

Slang words come in and out of style every few months. This cycle is further sped-up due to the speed at which social media distributes the new terms, making adoption of these terms a lot faster.

Tue, 28 Mar 2023 07:00:00 -0000

Did you know feelings of shame can physically appear in your body?

In this episode of Habits and Hustle, I chat with Dr. Will Cole about shame-flammation. Given that your body is a cellular library of the thoughts, emotions, and traumas you live, these cells can deeply impact your health and express themselves through autoimmune and metabolic issues.

We also chat about the different supplements you can take to support your nervous system, and gut health, and reduce inflammation.

What we discuss:

01:33: Will’s latest books

Key Takeaways:

Shame-flammation is a concept where most of the inflammation that is behind the common diseases and illnesses we experience is caused by the feeling of shame and/or guilt. The reason why these strong feelings of guilt and shame cause inflammation is that our body is composed of millions of cells, which all carry the weight of our thoughts and our emotions. When we constantly feel these negative emotions, our cells build up a library of these negative thoughts. As a result, our negative emotions make us physically ill through inflammation as this library becomes the make-up of our bodies.
Most of the imbalances that we experience in our body, such as hormonal imbalances, are a symptom of an imbalance in our gut microbiome. When we constantly feed ourselves the wrong things, whether they be food or thoughts, our gut’s health deteriorates, which in turn can make us develop mental health issues such as anxiety and depression that are difficult to treat.
Dysregulation in our body manifests its way through different physical signs and emotional signs. To regain control over this dysregulation from an emotional perspective, it’s important to focus on supporting your vagus tone. What you want to do is to find a meditation type that works for you and your lifestyle and stick to it to bring your body back to a parasympathetic state. Once you learn to appease your mind, you learn to appease your gut and reduce inflammation in your body.

Episode 226: Work-Life Balance: Does It Really Exist?

Fri, 24 Mar 2023 07:00:00 -0000

Does balance really exist - or is it an unrealistic goal?

In this episode of Habits & Hustle, we chat about the myth of work-life balance. Oftentimes, we set the expectation for ourselves that we should be able to have it all; it’s just a question of balance. This causes us to get frustrated and disappointed with our performance when we fail - thus why I believe we need to get rid of this false narrative.

What we discuss:

00:35: Does balance exist?

02:19: Morning routines: are they realistic?

04:37: What’s the reality of balance?

06:28: Are you prioritize resting?

08:07: Is there really balance in business?

10:43: How the myth of balance impacts your mental health

Episode 222: The Paradox of Choice: What Can You Do To Make Better Decisions

Sun, 12 Mar 2023 01:33:00 -0000

Do you have trouble choosing when you have too many options to choose from? I'm sure most of us do.

That's what I'm going to chat with you about in this solo episode of Habits & Hustle. I dive into the paradox of choice. This phenomenon suggests that when we have too many options to choose from, it requires more effort to make a decision and can leave us feeling unsatisfied with our choice. I share with you how to ensure you make the best choices, how you can simplify your choices, and explain how it differs from analysis paralysis.

Episode 217: Mark Manson - How to Stop Giving a F*ck

Tue, 21 Feb 2023 13:00:00 -0000

Mark Manson is the 3x NYT Bestselling Author of "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck". After navigating life as a pick-up artist, a blogger, and eventually securing his legacy as one of the most successful authors and independent publishers in self-help and motivation, now landing a movie deal with Universal, Mark settles in with Jen to discuss it all. He warns about the good and the bad that can come from relying on other's wisdom in the "self-help space", as well as approaching how others like, Tony Robbins, Et al. make their success and how it falls on the consumer to be careful in utilizing the tools of these speakers/authors. Mark explains portions of his life wherein sometimes 10 guys would pay him thousands to watch him flirt with women and coach them, to acquiring an audience through his blog, and finally writing one the best-selling books in self-help history at nearly 15 million copies sold and counting. On top of all of that, wouldn't you know, he co-authored Will Smith's autobiography from a couple years ago called "Will" which of course, prompted a conversation around the actor and the infamous "slap". Mark is quick, witty, charming, and open to every part of his life no matter how past it may be. Maybe you've read one of his book, but have never known who he really is. Perhaps you've been looking for a more blunt approach to self-help and this is where you'll find it. Regardless, he's a great interview and this is a fun episode! Don't miss it!

Episode 203: Sal Di Stefano, Part 3 - Host of Mindpump Podcast, an Author, and Fitlosopher

Explaining his "time matrix" and "rhythm" Rob navigates the extreme measures he takes to optimize his life.

He couldn't possibly do anything else, but his secret is that it takes just as long to film the nearly 300 episodes now as it did to film the 150 originally. Find out how he does that, still has time for his family, and can cancel plans to see a movie on a whim in this episode. You can't miss this one!

Chelsay Brewster is a Senior Scientist for Align Probiotic and the Digestive Wellness Specialist for Proctor & Gamble’s Personal Health Care portfolio. By now you’ve probably heard about the “microbiome” and the importance of gut health in some vague terms. It’s been brought up on this podcast several times, but never really explored quite like it is in this episode. Chelsay shines some light not only on the subject of gut health in reference to your immune system and it is your “2nd brain”, but goes even further to specify how men and women may differ and what to look out for. Sometimes it’s just a relief to hear an expert on a subject clear the air. This episode does just that.

Joe De Sena is CEO & Founder of Spartan and the Death Race, NYT Best Selling Author. Possibly the most hardcore individual on the planet, Joe describes every part of his life and every torturous routine he put himself and the people around him through. It’s pretty incredible. Consistency being the key. Pulling his kids out of bed at 5 am every morning, having a live-in Kung-Fu master to teach his kids, doing a triathlon, and deciding to do the swimming portion even though he wasn’t supposed to because he hadn’t worked hard enough. That’s just a shred of ridiculous things he and Jen talked about in this episode, but he gets results. You’ll have to listen to hear how he and his kids’ lives have benefitted from the strictness, and how he used that mentality to build his Spartan races from the ground up. Give it a listen.

Ed Mylett is a global entrepreneur, best-selling author, top podcast host, and TV host. Recalling a story at 5 years old of distracting his drunk father from the rest of his family and later revealing the catalyst of his “one more” mantra as his father getting sober one day at a time, Mylett is grounded in his determination and motivation in principled, practical, and relatable ways. The content of this episode may have some variations of what you’ve heard before, but Mylett stands out with his strict time management and earnest scheduling practices. Lamenting long meetings and describing how he almost never schedules more than 22 minutes for one, or how he splits his days into “days” approaching certain hours entirely different than the others. It’s really cerebral stuff, and incredibly fascinating to hear him explain. He says it himself, he’s proven his methods time and time again with some of the most successful people on the planet. Maybe this episode has a taste of what you’ve been needing to hear too.

Mark Cuban is an entrepreneur’s entrepreneur, Shark on Shark Tank, multi-billionaire, and investor. It would be shocking if you didn’t know him. If you are that small minority you’ll have to let us know how that goes. For all others, Mark is how you’d expect: charming, quick, and knowledgeable. Emphasizing one of his newer ventures with Cost Plus Drugs which is completely disrupting the pharmaceutical industry to sell generic drugs at a fraction of their current cost, taking detours to rave about Alyssa’s Cookies, and jumping from topic to topic throughout his long career, Mark isn’t shy about what’s worked and what hasn’t. Making his email public and admitting to basically scrolling it like it were social media, investing $100 million in people he’s never met, Mark remains a risk-taking juggernaut “doing the work,” researching, and asking the right questions to get what he wants. This one’s definitely worth a listen! C’mon, it’s Mark Cuban.

Jon Acuff is an NYT Bestselling Author of 7 books and INC Top 100 Leadership Speaker. He got people to “Start,” taught them how to follow through and “Finish,” and is now bringing people to the realization of their personal hang-ups and overthinking. “Soundtracks” is his new book and the basis of a lot of the conversation in this episode, those being about a mentality that plays on repeat in our head adjusting how we act and perceive the world, and how to adjust those “Soundtracks” to promote a more positive and affirming reality for ourselves. Jon is just full of fun and clever ways of approaching success and personal shortcomings. He also clearly “walks the walk” referencing many of the tools discussed by literally talking about his work graphs and alluding to little notes he’s written himself. It’s a fun episode and it’s obvious he’s given real thought to what he’s saying with how effortlessly it seems to roll off his tongue. Are you notorious for getting in your own way? Maybe a chronic over-thinker, yourself? This is the one for you.
