The Happy Hustle Podcast

Have you ever felt like you're doing all the right things—posting consistently, grinding day in and day out, hustling hard—but still not getting the traction you hoped for? Maybe you've thought about starting a podcast or launching a business, but the road ahead feels foggy, full of risk, and just plain overwhelming. If you're nodding your head, then this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast is about to be your new favorite listen.In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Travis Chappell—a seasoned entrepreneur, top-ranked podcaster, and founder and CEO of Guestio, a platform that helps podcasters and content creators book high-level guests easily. Travis has built a name for himself in the podcasting space, and now he's making bold moves into brick-and-mortar businesses. What's interesting is that instead of chasing flashy, high-risk startups, Travis is leaning into stable, “boring” business models—and turning them into serious cash machines. Yeah, we're talking laundromats, self-storage, and other “unsexy” businesses that work.We covered a lot of ground in this convo—from the current state of podcasting to monetization strategies, to AI's impact on the workforce, to navigating the challenges of fatherhood and entrepreneurship. Travis doesn't sugarcoat anything. He talks about the reality of building a podcast and why consistency alone isn't enough. He opens up about his journey, including the lessons learned from his time building Guestio, and why he decided to pivot toward more predictable businesses.One major theme that stood out in our chat is that podcasting is still in its infancy. Despite the growth we've seen in recent years, there's still room to make a mark—if you're willing to commit. Travis and I agreed: consistency is just the entry fee. You've got to commit to getting better over time, treating your show like a business, and playing the long game. Travis shared that when he started, he made a non-negotiable commitment to release three interviews per week for two years—no questions asked. That level of dedication is what separates the dabblers from the doers.When it comes to monetizing your podcast, Travis simplified it in a way that cuts through all the noise. There are only two ways: sell your stuff, or sell someone else's. Whether it's your products, courses, services—or affiliate offers and sponsorships—you have to get clear on which direction you're headed. Stop waiting for downloads to magically turn into dollars. Build an offer, create value, and promote it intentionally.But perhaps the most refreshing part of our conversation was Travis's take on where real business opportunity lies today. We're in a world obsessed with innovation, yet Travis is proving that tried-and-true models are often the fastest way to freedom. Think about it: buying a small business with steady cash flow, minimal competition, and low bankruptcy rates? That's a way smarter play than risking everything on a flashy startup. And with tools like AI entering the scene, you can now make those traditional businesses even more efficient. Automate the boring stuff. Lower your costs. Increase margins. Scale smart. We also got real about personal life—especially the pressure to “do it all.” As dads and entrepreneurs, it's easy to feel guilty. Guilty when you're working and not with your kids. Guilty when you're home and not grinding. But as Travis shared so powerfully: wherever you are, be there. If you're with your family, be fully present. Don't be glued to your phone. And if you're working, be focused without regret. Balance isn't about perfect harmony—it's about intentionality and owning your cycles of focus.So if you've been on the fence about starting a podcast, launching a new venture, or rethinking how you spend your time, this episode is a must-listen. Travis delivers practical wisdom, honest advice, and a refreshing perspective that'll challenge how you view success.In this episode, we cover:The State of Podcasting: Is It Too Late to Start?Common Mistakes New Podcasters MakeMonetizing Your Podcast: Strategies and InsightsThe Value of Podcasting Beyond MonetizationGuestio: The Journey and Lessons LearnedTransitioning from Tech to Brick and Mortar BusinessesAdvice for Young Entrepreneurs: Starting SmartThe Importance of Timing in Selling a BusinessFinal Thoughts and Reflections on EntrepreneurshipIdentifying Opportunities in Boring BusinessesThe Role of Technology in Business InnovationThe Impact of AI on IndustriesNavigating Fatherhood and EntrepreneurshipThe Essence of Happy HustlingWhat does happy Hustlin mean to you? Travis says it's not putting off happiness for some elusive future date in the guise of pursuing status now. think, I think just too many people think that it's like, well, I'll worry about happiness once I'm done with this thing. Or once I, once I have 10 million in the bank, then I'll worry about happiness. And it's like, well, that's not exactly how happiness is.Connect with Travishttps://www.instagram.com/travischappell/https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell/https://twitter.com/traviscchappellhttps://www.facebook.com/traviscchappellhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0ex2Vz6Jj9cTSiHy7KTICAFind Travis on this website: https://travischappell.com/Connect with Cary!https://www.instagram.com/caryjack/https://www.facebook.com/SirCaryJackhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cary-jack-kendzior/https://twitter.com/thehappyhustlehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFDNsD59tLxv2JfEuSsNMOQ/featured Get a free copy of his new book, The Happy Hustle, 10 Alignments to Avoid Burnout & Achieve Blissful Balance https://www.thehappyhustle.com/bookSign up for The Journey: 10 Days To Become a Happy Hustler Online Coursehttps://thehappyhustle.com/thejourney/Apply to the Montana Mastermind Epic Camping Adventurehttps://thehappyhustle.com/mastermind/“It's time to Happy Hustle, a blissfully balanced life you love, full of passion, purpose, and positive impact!”Episode Sponsors:If you're feeling stressed, not sleeping great, or your energy's been kinda meh lately—let me put you on to something that's been a total game-changer for me: Magnesium Breakthrough by BiOptimizers.

Are you building wealth... or just playing the hustle game on hard mode?Let's get real—between inflation, AI, and market mayhem, it's easy to feel like you're hustling just to stay afloat.But what if you could thrive in this chaos—and future-proof your biz in the process?That's what we unpack in this exclusive guest guru training inside The Happy Hustle Club—my private mastermind community for purpose-driven entrepreneurs. This one was so packed with gold that I had to share it publicly on The Happy Hustle Podcast.I sat down with my buddy Rob Luna—wealth strategist to the ultra-successful, media financial expert, and real-deal entrepreneur. We broke down how to grow your money, your business, and your freedom in this wild economy.Rob's insights are next level—and he doesn't just talk the talk. He's helped countless entrepreneurs go from financial chaos to clarity. In this convo, he spills the tea on everything from tariffs and investing, to AI's impact on the game, to building sustainable portfolios and planning your ideal exit.Rob talked about how AI is changing the way we do business—and why adaptability is non-negotiable if you want to thrive in the future. He laid it out clearly: AI won't replace you, but someone using AI better than you definitely could. But here's the kicker—while everyone's out here automating everything, the people who lead with empathy, creativity, and human connection are gonna be the ones who win big.Rob also dropped serious gems on how to build a sustainable portfolio. Not the kind of shiny stuff you see influencers posting about—but a real plan that aligns with your goals, values, and lifestyle. Because let's be real, if your financial strategy isn't supporting your happiness, what's the point?One of my favorite moments? When Rob broke down the difference between growing a business and building wealth. Most entrepreneurs are great at the first one—but never learn the second. And without a clear exit strategy, you're just building yourself a job. We also touched on financial literacy—something too many entrepreneurs ignore until it's too late. If you don't know your numbers, your business owns you. Plain and simple. Rob explained how understanding your cash flow, risk tolerance, and freedom number can change your life. Because the goal isn't just to work less—it's to live more.This convo was filled with truth bombs, mindset shifts, and practical steps you can take right now to level up. Whether you're just starting out or already crushing it, Rob's wisdom will challenge you to think bigger, act smarter, and stay aligned with your mission.So if you're ready to stop playing small, take control of your financial future, and adapt to the changes coming fast—hit play on this episode now. You'll learn how to invest wisely, protect your energy, prep for a smart exit, and most importantly, build wealth without burning out.Connect with Robhttps://www.instagram.com/thelunarobhttps://www.youtube.com/lunarobhttps://twitter.com/thelunarobFind Rob on these websites: https://robluna.com/ closeyourwealthgap.comConnect with Cary!https://www.instagram.com/caryjack/https://www.facebook.com/SirCaryJackhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cary-jack-kendzior/https://twitter.com/thehappyhustlehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFDNsD59tLxv2JfEuSsNMOQ/featured Get a free copy of his new book, The Happy Hustle, 10 Alignments to Avoid Burnout & Achieve Blissful Balance https://www.thehappyhustle.com/bookSign up for The Journey: 10 Days To Become a Happy Hustler Online Coursehttps://thehappyhustle.com/thejourney/Apply to the Montana Mastermind Epic Camping Adventurehttps://thehappyhustle.com/mastermind/“It's time to Happy Hustle, a blissfully balanced life you love, full of passion, purpose, and positive impact!”Episode Sponsors:If you're feeling stressed, not sleeping great, or your energy's been kinda meh lately—let me put you on to something that's been a total game-changer for me: Magnesium Breakthrough by BiOptimizers.

Ever feel like your brain just gives up on you halfway through the day? You're doing all the right things—grinding, pushing, sipping your fourth cup of coffee—and still, your focus slips and your energy crashes. It's not because you're lazy or lacking discipline. It's because your brain is burnt out. And guess what? There's science to back that up—and a solution that's way cooler than you'd think.In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I got to sit down with Dr. Ramses Alcaide, a neuroscientist and the CEO of Neurable. Now, if you haven't heard of Neurable yet, you're about to have your mind blown—because they're not just making headphones, they're creating the future of brain optimization. We're talking real-time brainwave tracking, AI-powered productivity support, and tech that literally helps you prevent burnout before it even begins.Dr. Ramses shared some gold nuggets in our convo. One of the biggest takeaways? Breaks aren't just something nice to take—they're absolutely essential. But here's the kicker: not all breaks are created equal. Most of us think taking a break means scrolling through our phones or watching a random YouTube video. But according to neuroscience, those kinds of breaks don't help your brain recover. What you need are effective breaks—strategic rest that restores focus and reboots your mind for high performance.That's where Neurable comes in. These aren't just headphones—they're like a personal coach for your brain. They monitor your neural signals and tell you when you're locked in and when your focus is slipping. When it's time to take a break, you'll know. When it's time to power through, you'll be in flow. It's like turning your brain into your biggest productivity ally. For an entrepreneur trying to juggle it all, that's a massive win.We also dive into the power of experimentation. Dr. Ramses emphasized how no two brains are the same. What works for your buddy might not work for you. Some people recharge by moving their body, some through meditation, and others through quick mental resets. Neurable gives you insights to figure out what your brain needs, not just what productivity books tell you.Then we got into some seriously next-level stuff—like how this kind of brain-tech isn't just about optimizing your daily hustle. It's also paving the way for early detection and prevention of neurodegenerative diseases. Imagine having the ability to identify brain health issues years before symptoms show up. That's the kind of proactive health support that could change lives.And if you're thinking this tech is just for hardcore biohackers or neuroscientists, think again. Even if all you do is take calls and listen to music, these headphones are still worth it. The bonus is that you're supporting your brain while you're at it. I've been using them myself, and I gotta say—they're a game-changer.So whether you're running a startup or building your empire, this episode is a must-listen. Dr. Ramses breaks down the science in a way that's extremely accessible, and the conversation is filled with real, actionable advice you can start using today.Want to hear how to stop burning out, start optimizing, and think your way to better performance?

Are you constantly racing the clock — stressed, scattered, and stuck in your head with a million “what ifs”?Been there. Still catch myself there sometimes.In this solo episode on The Happy Hustle Podcast, I'm talking about the two biggest silent killers of success: HURRY and WORRY — and how to beat 'em both.I'm talkin' real, simple tactics that'll help you slow down, breathe deeper, and actually enjoy the journey WHILE building your dream life.Here's a quick sneak peek of what I covered:Power Hour Time BlocksProductivity ≠ busyness. You need focus. I block 90-minute “Power Hours” for deep work: phone on airplane mode, distractions gone, binaural beats flowing through my Neurable headphones (seriously, game-changer—these headphones even track brain focus and give biofeedback).Can't commit 90 minutes? Use tools like ​Pomofocus.io​ or Focus Keeper. Even 25 minutes of distraction-free hustle can move the needle more than 3 hours of scattered multitasking.Daily Digital DetoxUnplug to plug in. One of the 10 Alignments in my S.O.U.L.M.A.P.P.I.N system is unplugging digitally. I aim for tech-free Sundays (though, real talk, not perfect), but I always try to keep the first 30 and last 30 minutes of the day sacred—no phone, no scrolling, no noise.Try it. Sip your coffee in silence. Journal. Pray. Let your brain reboot.The 3x3x3 Morning Gratitude ResetBefore you scroll or stress, write down:3 things you're grateful for3 people you're grateful for3 wins from the day beforeSimple structure. Big shift. You'll start the day rooted in abundance, not anxiety. My latest: Grateful for my wife, son, and Montana breeze. Wins? A killer podcast episode, 2 new Happy Hustlers, and progress on our SaaS platform.The Worry DumpGrab a journal or Notes app and dump your worry. Write down:What you're worried aboutWhat's actually in your controlThe next micro action you can takeWorried about money? You can't control the economy, but you can record a reel, pitch 10 clients, or email your list. Turn anxiety into action.Flip the ScriptYour mindset is the magic. When I started building our SaaS company, my inner voice said: What if it flops? But I flipped it: What if it changes the freakin' world?Choose to turn fear into fuel. Change “what if I fail?” to “what if I fly?”Action Beats AnxietyMicro actions reduce overwhelm. Let's say your podcast downloads are low. Instead of spiraling, take one step: film a short video, email a fan, post a quote. Small steps, big momentum. Rinse and repeat.These aren't fluffy feel-good ideas — they're legit game-changers I use in my own biz and life to hustle with purpose, not panic.So if you're tired of feeling overwhelmed, on edge, and out of alignment.Go listen to the episode now and steal the exact 6 tactics I use to Happy Hustle, not hectic.Connect with Cary!https://www.instagram.com/caryjack/https://www.facebook.com/SirCaryJackhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cary-jack-kendzior/https://twitter.com/thehappyhustlehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFDNsD59tLxv2JfEuSsNMOQ/featured Get a free copy of his new book, The Happy Hustle, 10 Alignments to Avoid Burnout & Achieve Blissful Balance https://www.thehappyhustle.com/bookSign up for The Journey: 10 Days To Become a Happy Hustler Online Coursehttps://thehappyhustle.com/thejourney/Apply to the Montana Mastermind Epic Camping Adventurehttps://thehappyhustle.com/mastermind/“It's time to Happy Hustle, a blissfully balanced life you love, full of passion, purpose, and positive impact!”Episode Sponsors: If you're feeling stressed, not sleeping great, or your energy's been kinda meh lately—let me put you on to something that's been a total game-changer for me: Magnesium Breakthrough by BiOptimizers.

Ever feel like your business hustle is outpacing your soul's rhythm?Like you're building the empire, checking the boxes, slaying your goals… but deep down, something's still missing?In this episode of the Happy Hustle Podcast, we are resharing the guest guru training by my friend, Danette May.Danette is a best-selling author, transformational speaker, and founder of multiple businesses, including Earth Echo Foods. But before all the success, she was a broke single mom with just $47 to her name. She turned her pain into purpose, her rock bottom into a launchpad—and now she's empowering millions with her story, spirituality, and soul-aligned strategies.In this episode, we dive deep into how tuning into your life force, crafting a clear vision, and practicing daily soul time can radically shift not just your business… but your entire existence.Danette didn't just wake up with multiple seven-figure brands and a global platform. She created a clear vision for the life she wanted. And that vision pulled her forward, even when everything around her screamed, “Give up.”She talks about how writing down your desires and being honest about where you're struggling creates the foundation for transformation. If you're running a business without a clear “why” and “what for,” you're just reacting to life—instead of designing it.Danette also shares how just a few shifts in mindset turned mundane routines into powerful rituals. When you bring purpose into your actions—whether it's brewing your morning coffee or leading your team—you activate a different frequency. One that attracts the right people, the right opportunities, and the right momentum.She doesn't teach manifestation as wishful thinking. She teaches it as a science of frequency. You have to act as if your vision has already come true. Embody that energy. And keep showing up as the future version of you—right now.Whether it's with your team, your partner, or your clients—radical honesty + radical love is the move. Danette opens up about navigating relationships and how accepting others (and ourselves) in their wholeness is key to growth.If you're grinding but not glowing… it's time to look within.If your team isn't vibing… it's time to reset the energy.If you're leading without soul… it's time to remember who you are.Danette's story proves that when you blend vision + soul + strategy, you create not just success… but a legacy.Because the truth is—you don't have to sacrifice your well-being to scale. You don't have to disconnect from your heart to lead. You can build a soul-aligned business that fuels your bank account and your spirit.Connect with Danettehttps://www.instagram.com/thedanettemay/https://www.facebook.com/TheDanetteMay/https://www.youtube.com/user/danettemay/https://twitter.com/DanetteFitnessFind Danette on her website: https://danettemay.com/Connect with Cary!https://www.instagram.com/caryjack/https://www.facebook.com/SirCaryJackhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cary-jack-kendzior/https://twitter.com/thehappyhustlehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFDNsD59tLxv2JfEuSsNMOQ/featured Get a free copy of his new book, The Happy Hustle, 10 Alignments to Avoid Burnout & Achieve Blissful Balance https://www.thehappyhustle.com/bookSign up for The Journey: 10 Days To Become a Happy Hustler Online Coursehttps://thehappyhustle.com/thejourney/Apply to the Montana Mastermind Epic Camping Adventurehttps://thehappyhustle.com/mastermind/“It's time to Happy Hustle, a blissfully balanced life you love, full of passion, purpose, and positive impact!”Episode Sponsors:If you're feeling stressed, not sleeping great, or your energy's been kinda meh lately—let me put you on to something that's been a total game-changer for me: Magnesium Breakthrough by BiOptimizers.

You ever sit there thinking, “I know what I need to do... so why the heck am I not doing it?”You know—drink the water, write the email, stop the self-sabotage, hug a puppy, hit the gym. It's not that you don't know… it's that you feel like a freakin' war is going on inside you.That exact inner conflict?It's what my guest Britt Frank helps people decode and conquer.Britt's a licensed neuropsychotherapist, trauma specialist, educator, and author of the must-read book Align Your Mind. She's been featured on The Doctors, NPR, Fast Company, and Psychology Today, and y'all—her brain is next level. But what I love most is how she breaks heavy stuff down in a super clear, practical, no-BS kinda way. In this convo on the Happy Hustle Podcast, we get into it. The truth about internal resistance. Why high performers crash hard when they try to rest. And how to stop fighting yourself so you can finally start flowing in alignment.Here's the thing: just because you're a high-level hustler doesn't mean your brain is on board with all the good stuff you're trying to do. Britt explains this through what she calls “parts work.” Basically, you've got different internal parts—some want to grow, others want to hide under the covers. One wants to crush your goals, one wants to eat chips and scroll for hours. The key? They're all trying to help in their own way. You just have to learn how to lead the team instead of being dragged around by the chaos.Britt hit me with this line and it stuck: “Alignment is about driving the team of emotions rather than being run over by them.” Boom.And get this—if you've ever felt guilt for trying to relax after grinding, this'll land. Imagine you're driving a stick shift. You can't go from 90 MPH in 5th gear straight to 20 MPH in 1st gear. You'll blow your engine. And that's what a lot of entrepreneurs are doing. We're go-go-go, building, scaling, moving at lightning speed. And then we try to switch into family mode or chill mode instantly. Britt's point? You have to downshift. You need intentional transitions to protect your nervous system. Stretch. Walk. Breathe. Shift gears slowly, not all at once.Another gold nugget: Britt talks about “micro yeses.” Sometimes we procrastinate because our goals are just too damn big. “Write a book.” “Launch a course.” “Lose 50 pounds.” Our brains go, “Nope. Too much.” But if you break it down to a single next step—open the doc, write one sentence, walk to the mailbox—you're telling your brain, “Hey, this is doable.” Small wins stack up. She also dropped this cool tool called non-dominant hand journaling. Yup—writing with your opposite hand. It feels weird, but it unlocks a different part of your brain that can surface things you didn't even know you were carrying. Perfect for when you feel stuck or unclear.If you've been battling yourself mentally, emotionally, spiritually… this episode is a reminder that you're not alone. You're not broken.

If you're an entrepreneur (or want to be), you can't afford to keep posting and ghosting. You need to build a brand, grow a tribe, and make your message move people.And guess what? That all starts with you—your authenticity, your story, and how you show up online.I just got back from an EPIC private mastermind at my homie Garrett Gunderson's house in Salt Lake City— the New York Times bestselling author and founder of Wealth Factory. And let me tell ya, the viral secrets these powerhouse entrepreneurs dropped were pure gold.We laid it all out—from building real wealth to telling the truth online to making your content go viral (without a big team or big budget).So here's the download—straight from my mastermind notes—to help YOU Happy Hustle smarter, not harder.Segment 1: “Wealth Starts From Within” – Garrett GundersonLet's get real—wealth isn't just about stacking Benjamins.Garrett dropped this truth bomb: “Grow yourself before you grow your wealth.”So many entrepreneurs skip the meaning for the money. They chase outcomes, but forget the process. Garrett's concept?Life design is the foundation of sustainable wealth.Here's what hit home:Build your Human Life Value. Want more money? Add more value.Money is a reason, not the reason. Let that sink in.Design a meaningful life before you build your business model.Journal prompt: What does true wealth mean to YOU? (Seriously—try this.)Happy Hustle Hack:Don't build a business that drains your soul. Focus on impact, alignment, and fulfillment FIRST. That's the real flex. Segment 2: “Tell the Truth, Build the Tribe” – Sean WhalenIf you've seen Lions Not Sheep, you know Sean doesn't hold back.His strategy? Keep it 100% real.When I asked him, “How do you know what to share?”, he looked at me and said, “Everything.” Here's what I took away:Authenticity attracts. Share your scars and your journey.You'll be judged anyway, so share what's TRUE.Real > Polished. Activated energy > high production.Be polarizing. You're not pizza—you don't need to please everyone.Sean built a multimillion-dollar brand just speaking into his iPhone. No camera crew. No fancy edits. Just TRUTH.Over 1M garments sold, billions of views, and 51k+ coaching clients.Happy Hustle Hack:Challenge yourself—30 days of radical truth-telling on social. Reels, long-form posts, whatever. Build that trust. That's what creates traction.Segment 3: “Make a Movement, Not Just a Post” – Warren PhillipsWarren aka the Non-Toxic Dad is on a mission—literally. He's got 880k followers in 2 years, but it's not because of trends.It's because he's real, consistent, and deeply connected to his why.He shares 3 times a day, 6 days a week. But he didn't start there. He began with 3 posts a week. Progress, not perfection.Here's the sauce:Authenticity + Consistency = The Algorithm's Best Friend.First 5 seconds matter. Hook hard.Be relational, not transactional.Talk about what you LOVE. Share your quirks.Track your metrics, tweak what's not working.Educate. Entertain. Empower. (The 3 E's of content that hits.) Happy Hustle Hack:Batch your content. Plan on Sundays. Use your quirks, not just scripts. And remember: A thousand true fans can make you millions. As someone who's built the Happy Hustle movement—anti-grind, pro-life balance—I'm here to say:Stop trying to fit in. Start standing out by showing up as YOU.Whether it's podcasting, content creation, or just telling your story, your vibe will attract your tribe.Bonus tips from the mastermind:Humor increases memory retention by 3x. (Use it!)Text-message style headlines get clicks.Sell privately, give value publicly.One idea per video.Your content is your 2025 business card. Make it soulful, smart, and you.Entrepreneurship in 2025 isn't about chasing trends.It's about leading movements, being unapologetically YOU, and using social media to serve—not just sell.Connect with Cary!https://www.instagram.com/caryjack/https://www.facebook.com/SirCaryJackhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cary-jack-kendzior/https://twitter.com/thehappyhustlehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFDNsD59tLxv2JfEuSsNMOQ/featured Get a free copy of his new book, The Happy Hustle, 10 Alignments to Avoid Burnout & Achieve Blissful Balance https://www.thehappyhustle.com/bookSign up for The Journey: 10 Days To Become a Happy Hustler Online Coursehttps://thehappyhustle.com/thejourney/Apply to the Montana Mastermind Epic Camping Adventurehttps://thehappyhustle.com/mastermind/“It's time to Happy Hustle, a blissfully balanced life you love, full of passion, purpose, and positive impact!”Episode Sponsors: If you're feeling stressed, not sleeping great, or your energy's been kinda meh lately—let me put you on to something that's been a total game-changer for me: Magnesium Breakthrough by BiOptimizers.

What if everything you've learned about love and relationships is only scratching the surface?Let's be real—today's dating and relationship landscape is confusing AF. With tech distractions, shifting roles, and a world that's constantly hustling, finding deep, meaningful connections feels more complicated than ever. Masculine and feminine energies are out of whack. Men feel unsure of their roles. Women are rising into power, and society hasn't quite caught up with how to balance it all.That's why I had to bring Dene Logan to The Happy Hustle Podcast. Dene is a licensed marriage and family therapist, an author, and a podcaster who's been in the trenches helping couples figure this stuff out. And in this episode, we unpack everything you're not being taught about relationships, self-discovery, and the energies that shape your love life.This convo goes way beyond “relationship advice.” We talked about the deep stuff—how people are seeking fulfillment outside themselves, how modern dynamics have shifted, and why couples often wait until things fall apart before asking for help. Dené broke down how self-awareness and healing are the real secrets to attracting the right partner. And she even dropped some wisdom about celibacy being a tool for growth, which, let's be honest, most people aren't even thinking about when they're out there swiping left and right.One thing that hit home was how love has been devalued in today's hustle culture. We chase money, success, followers—but forget that relationships are sacred. Dene reminded us: real relationships require intention, mindfulness, and communication. Not just when things go bad—but every damn day.We also got into some fire convo around masculine and feminine energy—and before you roll your eyes or think it's all woo-woo, listen up. These energies aren't about gender. They exist in all of us. The masculine craves direction, purpose, and trust. The feminine wants to be seen, to feel flow, and to be held in presence. The problem is, most of us were never taught how to honor and balance both.So now we've got dudes confused about how to show up. Women stepping into their power and getting labeled “too much.” And couples who love each other, but feel disconnected because no one taught them how to communicate their needs and hold space for each other's growth.Dene and I also touched on the sneaky issues wrecking intimacy these days—like porn addiction, lack of presence, and trying to force traditional roles that don't work anymore. It's wild, man. In a world where you can connect with anyone instantly, more people than ever feel alone. And the truth is, community and honest, face-to-face connections are the antidote.One of the things I loved most about this convo is that it's not about being perfect. It's about being conscious. Dené says the couples who make it long-term aren't the ones who avoid conflict—they're the ones who keep showing up with curiosity, gratitude, and a willingness to grow. Instead of nitpicking your partner's flaws, focus on what they do well. Watch how fast the energy shifts when appreciation becomes the default.She also reminded me that longevity in a relationship doesn't equal success. Just because you've been together for 10 years doesn't mean you're aligned or fulfilled. Real success is about shared vision, mutual respect, and daily efforts to connect, not coasting through out of habit or fear.We even got into how celibacy, for some, can be a reset. A way to cut the noise and figure out what you want, who you are, and what kind of energy you're bringing to the table. It's not about punishment—it's about powerful clarity.And you know I had to ask her about what makes love last. Her answer? Growth. If you're not growing, together or individually, the relationship stalls. Personal development fuels relational development. And when both people are doing their inner work? That's when the magic happens.This episode is a must-listen if you're an entrepreneur trying to build your empire and nurture a meaningful relationship at the same time. Because the truth is—you can't pour into your business if your personal life is draining you. And honestly, what's all that success for if you don't have anyone to share it with?So if you're tired of surface-level connections… if you're wondering why the spark is fading… or if you're just ready to understand how to show up more powerfully in your relationships—this episode is your guide.We get into the juicy stuff—real stories, practical insights, and tools you can use right now to deepen intimacy, grow through challenges, and stay aligned with your truth.It's time to bring more depth, more awareness, and more sacredness into your relationships. Because love isn't a distraction from the hustle—it's the fuel that keeps your soul in the game.

You want more abundance, stronger relationships, better sleep, and real fulfillment—but here's the truth: it's not about doing more, it's about feeling more… grateful.I used to grind hard—building a business, chasing success, but feeling empty. Burnout hit me like a truck. What changed everything? Daily gratitude.According to a Gallup Workplace study, teams led by grateful leaders have higher morale and lower turnover.And you know what eats profit faster than a bad month? Employee churn. Retaining your team saves serious money.Gratitude also helps you:Attract aligned clients (and repel energy vampires)Build loyalty (try handwritten thank-you cards—game over)Create a team culture where people feel seen and valuedThe ROI on gratitude? Off the charts.Here's the game-changer I use every single morning. I call it the 3-3-3 Ritual:Write down 3 things you're grateful forList 3 people you appreciateCelebrate 3 wins (big or small) from yesterdayThat's it. Simple. Fast. Effective.You can jot it in your journal, type it into your notes app, or even record it as a voice memo. But trust me, doing this daily will shift your frequency—and as the Law of Attraction says, like attracts like.Gratitude also helps in leadership and business. Grateful teams perform better. Grateful leaders build loyal clients. It's not fluff—it's strategy.So if you're chasing goals but still feel off, try the 3-3-3 ritual this week. Gratitude isn't just a good vibe—it's a frequency that attracts more of what you want.Now go out there, write those gratitudes down, and Happy Hustle your dream reality.Connect with Cary!https://www.instagram.com/caryjack/https://www.facebook.com/SirCaryJackhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cary-jack-kendzior/https://twitter.com/thehappyhustlehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFDNsD59tLxv2JfEuSsNMOQ/featuredGet a free copy of his new book, The Happy Hustle, 10 Alignments to Avoid Burnout & Achieve Blissful Balance https://www.thehappyhustle.com/bookSign up for The Journey: 10 Days To Become a Happy Hustler Online Course https://thehappyhustle.com/thejourney/Apply to the Montana Mastermind Epic Camping Adventure https://thehappyhustle.com/mastermind/“It's time to Happy Hustle, a blissfully balanced life you love, full of passion, purpose, and positive impact!”If you're feeling stressed, not sleeping great, or your energy's been kinda meh lately—let me put you on to something that's been a total game-changer for me: Magnesium Breakthrough by BiOptimizers.

Is your social media strategy helping you win… or keeping you invisible? Let's face it — if you're not using social media to grow your business, you're leaving serious money on the table.But just posting random content isn't enough anymore. The platforms have evolved. The algorithms are smarter. And attention spans? Yeah… they've shrunk down to TikTok length. So, how do you cut through the noise?In this fire episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I sat down with content king Logan Forsyth, and we dropped gold on how entrepreneurs can use social media to drive real business growth, not just likes and follows.From using AI to build your biz, to why your personality is your secret weapon, to understanding how sub-accounts can 10x your reach — this convo is loaded with practical, tactical insights.Let's break down the biggest takeaways and how YOU can use them today. Logan said it best: “Social media is the new website.”When people hear about you, they don't Google your name. They check your Instagram, YouTube Shorts, or TikTok. That's your digital storefront.And if it looks messy, outdated, or full of fake engagement — bye Felicia.Your content is your credibility. And quality = currency. Here's the truth: People don't follow brands, they follow people.If your content doesn't show YOU — your vibe, your voice, your story — it'll flop faster than an unseasoned startup pitch. Logan shares this one strategy, but most entrepreneurs don't even think about it:Sub accounts.Instead of trying to be all things to all people on one page, you create niche-specific accounts tied to your main brand.Why?Test different styles without messing up your main gridHit targeted audiences with laser-focused contentCreate more volume without losing qualityThink of it like this: One brand, multiple entry points.This episode is packed with stories, laughs, and serious strategy.Logan shares how he's helped businesses scale content without burnout and how YOU can use AI + short-form content to dominate your niche.Social media isn't just a “nice to have” anymore — it's a business necessity.And if you play it right?It's a lead gen machine, brand builder, and growth engine all in one.So don't just post and hope.Build a strategy. Use your voice. Leverage AI. Focus on quality.And let your social media work for your business, not the other way around.In this episode, we cover:00:00 Introduction to Social Media Mastery02:53 The Importance of Personality in Content05:55 The Sub Account Strategy for Growth09:03 Scaling Content Creation Effectively11:54 Leveraging AI in Content Creation15:00 Navigating Social Media Algorithms17:57 Practical Tips for Social Media Success20:41 The Power of Viral Content23:35 Leveraging AI for Business Growth32:02 Navigating the Challenges of Fake FollowersWhat does happy Hustlin mean to you? Forrest says it means to truly love what I do. Like I love to work. And so if I didn't love it, I wouldn't work all the time, but it's what I love. And there's a lot of, there's not much else that I would rather do. and it's because of that purpose and that enjoyment aspect. And I find myself extremely lucky for that to be the case.

What if I told you that one mastermind could change your life… your business… even your health and relationships?Sounds bold, right? But I'm speaking from experience here.Masterminds have straight up been the best thing I've ever done for my business—hands down. And with all this AI and tech dominating our day-to-day lives in 2025, in-person events have become even more valuable.In the latest episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I'm diving deep into the power of masterminds, sharing the full scoop on our 2025 event lineup, and giving you the insider tips you need if you're thinking of hosting your own.If you're an entrepreneur or aspiring one looking to grow your biz, build deep relationships, and enjoy the journey, this one's for you.

If you're grinding 80 hours a week and still wondering why it's not working, it might be time for a reset. Not on your dream—but on your approach. Because let's be real: Hustle without health, strategy, and purpose? That's a one-way ticket to burnout.In this powerful episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I sit down with Forrest Smith, co-founder and CEO of Kineon, to talk real talk on entrepreneurship, building businesses for exit, and staying healthy while doing it. This convo is packed with golden nuggets for every entrepreneur out there—whether you're scaling your startup or dreaming of your first product launch.We're diving into strategic partnerships, red light therapy, building impact-driven businesses, and the hard truth about what it takes to grow and feel good doing it. Forrest isn't just a startup guy—he's an exit guy. After successfully building and exiting multiple businesses, he took a big step back and asked: What really matters?That led him to co-found Kineon, a company using red light therapy to give people safer, smarter solutions for managing pain. No pills. No surgeries. Just science-backed, preventative wellness tech that works. But what's wild is how Forrest connects the dots between entrepreneurial strategy and personal health. We also get into how Forrest evaluates whether a company is built to scale or just spinning its wheels. Some of the gems:Are you in the right part of the supply chain?Are you investing in IP that drives value?Are your systems supporting scale or just surviving chaos?And the biggie: Are you building a business that serves your life or one that drains it?Because at the end of the day, if your business isn't aligned with your mission and wellbeing, it's just another job. This episode isn't just about business. It's about building something meaningful, without losing yourself in the process.If you're ready to:Work smarter, not just harderBuild a business that can scaleLearn about red light therapy and game-changing wellnessHear how exits happen behind the scenesThen this episode is a must-listen.

What if I told you that working just two and a half days a week could actually be your new normal? More time with your family, more energy for your passions, and more freedom to live—without sacrificing your income or impact. Sounds wild, right? But it's possible—and in this episode of the Happy Hustle Podcast, I'm breaking down exactly how I pulled it off. First things first: I didn't start here. I used to grind nonstop—100+ hour workweeks, chasing big goals in the big city, feeling burned out and unfulfilled. Eventually, I hit a breaking point and knew something had to change. That's when I started to design my life on purpose. I created a weekly structure, tested out new systems, and got clear on what actually mattered. Over time, that led me to working just 2.5 days a week—with more results, more happiness, and more balance. Here's how it works: It's not just about the structure—it's about the systems. I use time-blocking religiously and follow Parkinson's Law: work expands to the time you give it. So I limit tasks on purpose. I use the Pomodoro technique—45 minutes of deep work, 15 minutes of rest. Apps like Sunsama and Notion help me plan my day with intention. I set just three “Most Valuable Tasks” each day and focus only on those. The rest? Either gets scheduled for later or let go.Delegation and automation are non-negotiables. I ask myself, “What would break if I stopped doing this?” If the answer is nothing, I cut it. For what's essential but not in my zone of genius, I delegate using the 10-80-10 rule: 10% to set it up, 80% delegated, 10% to review. I rely on tools like Zapier and an organized team to automate as much as possible. I also create SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) for everything so I'm not the bottleneck. Once things are documented and repeatable, it's easy to scale without burning out.One big mindset shift that made this lifestyle possible? Realizing busy doesn't equal productive. I stopped glorifying hustle and started chasing impact. I focus only on the 20% of actions that create 80% of the results—whether that's nurturing partnerships, closing deals, or creating content that builds brand trust. If it doesn't move the needle, I say no.And speaking of “no”—boundaries are everything. I trained my team and clients to respect my schedule. I don't reply to business texts on Sundays. I protect off-grid time and unplug regularly to reset my nervous system. People quickly adapt when you set clear expectations—and you'll find you're actually more respected when you own your time.Was this shift easy? Nope. It took trial and error. I had to hustle hard at first to build the foundation. But now, with recurring income streams, dialed-in systems, and a focused schedule, I get to enjoy a life that's rich in time, not just money.So if you're tired of the grind and want more freedom without giving up your goals—start small. Time-block your ideal week. Identify your needle-moving tasks. Eliminate the noise. And build the life you actually want to live, one intentional move at a time.

What if your greatest strength is also your biggest blind spot?That's the question we're unpacking in this fire episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast. I sat down with Craig Ballantyne—a serial entrepreneur, Wall Street Journal best-selling author, and dubbed “The World's Most Disciplined Man.” This convo isn't just about grinding harder or waking up at 4 AM. Nope. We went deep on why discipline alone can actually wreck your relationships and happiness if you're not careful.This one's for every entrepreneur out there who's chasing greatness—but wondering why it still doesn't feel like enough.Craig drops a truth bomb straight out the gate: Discipline, when left unchecked, can turn into your biggest enemy.In his book “The Dark Side of Discipline,” Craig peels back the curtain on what happens when high achievers go too hard. You're so focused on systems, habits, and routines… that you forget to be human.He knows this firsthand. Back in the day, he was killing it as a fitness expert, but behind the scenes, he was binge drinking on the weekends and battling serious anxiety. He ended up in the ER at 29, thinking he was having a heart attack. That was his wake-up call.So he started eliminating the bad habits, toxic people, and energy-draining environments—and building systems that supported true well-being.One of the most powerful moments in this episode is when Craig talks about the illusion of success. So many of us hustle hard for goals we didn't even choose. Maybe you saw a dude on Instagram with a Lambo and thought, “That's what winning looks like.” But if it costs you your peace, your relationships, or your health—is it really worth it?Craig isn't all talk—he breaks it down with tangible tactics that help you show up as your best self:✅ Elimination: Cut out what's draining you (yes, even that toxic “friend” who's always dragging you to the bar).✅ Preparation: Structure your environment for success—your willpower's not supposed to do all the work.✅ Connection: Accountability is your secret weapon. Tell someone you don't want to disappoint what you're gonna do—and when.Whether it's quitting drinking, launching your biz, or leveling up your health, public accountability can flip the switch from “I'll try” to “I did it.Look, I know how tempting it is to grind 24/7. We've been sold the idea that success means sacrificing everything now to maybe enjoy life someday. But that ain't it.You don't have to choose between success and happiness. You can Happy Hustle.And that's what this episode is all about—finding the balance between ambition and well-being.So if you're ready to stop running someone else's race and start building your own version of success (the joyful, human, connected kind)... hit play on this episode. It's a game-changer.In this episode, we cover: 00:00 The Power of Networking12:59 The Dark Side of Discipline28:21 The Illusion of Success31:07 Tactics for Personal Excellence39:44 Accountability and Connection40:32 The Dark Side of Discipline48:44 Future Pacing for a Fulfilling LifeWhat does happy Hustlin mean to you? Craig says Happy Hustling means that you are setting up yourself for a life where you can be happy. You can be happy and hustle at the same time. And most people think that they're, they're not one in the same, you can, you can have everything that you want and really live a truly great life. And one thing that you said, the, the third freedom that I've never really articulated very well is this creative freedom.Connect with Craighttps://www.facebook.com/ttfatlosshttps://www.instagram.com/realcraigballantyne/https://twitter.com/craigballantynehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UClBQyeL63OdkONi5PBDY8CgFind Craig on this website: https://www.craigballantyne.com/ I DarkSideofDiscipline.com Connect with Cary!https://www.instagram.com/caryjack/https://www.facebook.com/SirCaryJackhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cary-jack-kendzior/https://twitter.com/thehappyhustlehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFDNsD59tLxv2JfEuSsNMOQ/featuredGet a free copy of his new book, The Happy Hustle, 10 Alignments to Avoid Burnout & Achieve Blissful Balance https://www.thehappyhustle.com/bookSign up for The Journey: 10 Days To Become a Happy Hustler Online Course https://thehappyhustle.com/thejourney/Apply to the Montana Mastermind Epic Camping Adventure https://thehappyhustle.com/mastermind/“It's time to Happy Hustle, a blissfully balanced life you love, full of passion, purpose, and positive impact!”Episode Sponsor: Magnesium Breakthrough from BiOptimizers https://bioptimizers.com/happyIf you've been on a restricted diet lately or maybe even taken some meds to shed those pounds for the summer, I gotta warn ya—be careful!

Ever wonder why some people crush it in sales while others barely scrape by?It's not always about having the flashiest product or the biggest ad budget. Nope. Often, it's about understanding how to price and present your offer in a way that speaks directly to the human brain.In this week's episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I'm diving deep into 17 psychologically backed sales and pricing strategies that can help you make more money and more impact—without ever feeling pushy or sleazy. Look—sales isn't just about making money. It's about solving problems for your dream customers. But the way you package your solution? That's where most entrepreneurs drop the ball.Pricing isn't just a number. It's a message. It's perceived value. It's how your ideal client feels about your offer.By using tested strategies from the world of psychology and real-life business (like Apple, Starbucks, and even IKEA), you can make your offers irresistible. Here are the 17 Proven Pricing Strategies: Price AnchoringLead with your most premium offer to anchor value in your buyer's mind.Example: Mention your $100K 1-on-1 offer before pitching the $25K group coaching—suddenly, that group offer looks like a steal!The Decoy EffectAdd a middle “meh” option to make your best offer shine.Example: The Economist's print-only vs. print+digital pricing made more people choose the combo, even at the same price.Contrast PricingPut high-priced items next to your core offer to make it look more affordable.Example: Rolex does this all the time—$10K watches look like a deal next to $100K ones.Charm PricingPrice ending in .99 or .97 actually sells more.Example: A $39.99 dress outsold a $40 one by 24%, even though it's just a penny difference!The Left Digit Effect$199 feels way cheaper than $200. Always think about that first number.Price FramingShow savings the smart way.Rule of thumb: If discount is under 20%, use dollars off. Over 20%? Use percentages.High-Low PricingShow the “original” higher price before the discount.Example: Was $200, now $120—bam, instant perceived deal.Goldilocks PricingOffer three tiers: good, better, best. Most buyers go for the middle.Pro Tip: Make that middle one your most profitable.Center Stage EffectPosition your most profitable option in the center of your website or pricing table. People gravitate toward the middle visually too.Pay What You Want (With a Twist)Let people name their price with a suggested amount.Example: Radiohead let fans choose what to pay for their album—and still made bank.BundlingCombine products/services for a higher perceived value.Example: Burger + fries + drink for $9.99 vs. $12 separately = feels like a win.The IKEA EffectPeople value what they help build.Let clients customize their package = more buy-in and satisfaction.Prestige PricingHigher prices signal higher status and exclusivity.Example: Tesla, Rolex, Chanel—they don't run sales. Ever. And they don't have to.Power of Storytelling in Pricing(Not officially listed, but sprinkled throughout)When you back your price with a story (your journey, client results, transformation), your offer becomes more than a product—it becomes a movement.The Power of Free (Zero Price Effect)People love free. Even when it's irrational.Example: Amazon's “Free Shipping” drove billions in extra revenue.Instead of discounting, add something FREE—like a bonus call or a surprise gift.Scarcity & Urgency (Ethical FOMO)Nobody wants to miss out.Use limited-time offers, limited spots, countdown timers—but always ethically.Example: “Only 3 VIP coaching spots left this quarter.” Simple. Powerful.Money-Back Guarantee (Risk Reversal)Remove the risk, and conversions soar.Example: “Try it for 14 days, and if you don't love it, get your money back. No hard feelings.”Sales isn't about tricking people. It's about using smart psychology to serve people better.When done right, these strategies not only boost conversions—but they build trust, deepen relationships, and make you feel proud of what you're offering.I've used these exact techniques in my business—selling biohacking programs, coaching, masterminds, and even products—and they work like magic (when done with integrity).Tune in to this episode now and learn how to skyrocket your sales using these 17 proven pricing strategies.Connect with Cary!https://www.instagram.com/caryjack/https://www.facebook.com/SirCaryJackhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cary-jack-kendzior/https://twitter.com/thehappyhustlehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFDNsD59tLxv2JfEuSsNMOQ/featured Get a free copy of his new book, The Happy Hustle, 10 Alignments to Avoid Burnout & Achieve Blissful Balance https://www.thehappyhustle.com/bookSign up for The Journey: 10 Days To Become a Happy Hustler Online Coursehttps://thehappyhustle.com/thejourney/Apply to the Montana Mastermind Epic Camping Adventurehttps://thehappyhustle.com/mastermind/“It's time to Happy Hustle, a blissfully balanced life you love, full of passion, purpose, and positive impact!”Episode Sponsor: Magnesium Breakthrough from BiOptimizers (https://bioptimizers.com/happy)If you've been on a restricted diet lately or maybe even taken some meds to shed those pounds for the summer, I gotta warn ya—be careful!

Most people think wealth is all about stacking cash, growing a fat bank account, and hitting that magical "financial freedom" number. But what if I told you that wealth is so much more than just dollars and cents? What if real wealth isn't about how much money you have, but how much value you create, how much purpose you live with, and how much freedom you truly experience?In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I'm sharing the presentation from our recent Montana Mastermind Epic Skiing Adventure presented by my bro, Garrett Gunderson—New York Times bestselling author, financial expert, and straight-up legend. He break down what true financial freedom looks like. We dive deep into cash flow strategies, tax-saving hacks, and how to redefine wealth so you can live a life of purpose and abundance.If you're tired of chasing money and ready to build real wealth, keep reading. This one's a game-changer.For decades, we've been sold the idea that wealth = net worth. Build up your 401(k), invest in stocks, buy a house, work 40+ years, and maybe retire comfortably.Garrett lays it down straight: The key to financial independence isn't in hoarding money, it's in understanding how to make it work for you. And that starts with changing how you think about wealth.He also explains that true wealth has five key components:1️⃣ Money (But Not in the Way You Think)Money is important—let's not pretend it's not. But instead of focusing on "more money," the real flex is creating cash flow so you have money working for you, not the other way around.

Let's be real—entrepreneurs love the grind. Late nights, early mornings, endless coffee, and pushing the limits to build the dream. But here's the catch: if your heart isn't in peak condition, all that hustle could be cutting your time short.So, how do you level up your business without sacrificing your health?In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I sat down with Dr. Stefan Waller, a cardiologist turned health coach, to break down real strategies for optimizing heart health—without the fluff. We're talking about preventing heart disease before it even starts, simple nutrition hacks, and the key health metrics every entrepreneur should track.Dr. Waller emphasizes the importance of knowing your numbers. If you don't track your business finances, you'll go broke, right? Same thing with your health—if you don't track your key metrics, your body might be running on borrowed time.Here are two critical numbers you should be checking regularly:1️⃣ LDL Cholesterol (The Silent Killer)

Do you know the biggest hidden drain on your wealth? It's not bad investments, risky business moves, or even extravagant spending. It's tipping the government—paying more taxes than you actually owe.And that's just one of the four silent killers of efficiency that are quietly eating away at your financial future.I recently had the privilege of hosting an epic Montana Mastermind Skiing Adventure, where 25 high-level entrepreneurs came together to mastermind, ski, and talk shop. One of our guest speakers was my brother from another mother, the legendary Garrett Gunderson—New York Times bestselling author, wealth strategist, and straight-up financial genius.Garrett dropped some serious knowledge on the Four I's of Efficiency, a framework he shares with his millionaire and billionaire clients. And I'm about to break it down for you—so buckle up, take notes, and let's make sure you keep more of what you earn.These four areas are where most entrepreneurs unknowingly lose thousands (or even millions) of dollars over their lifetime. Fix these, and you'll be on your way to financial freedom.IRS – Stop Tipping the GovernmentThe IRS is the number one silent wealth killer. Taxes are likely your biggest business expense, yet most entrepreneurs don't have a solid tax strategy in place. If you're just handing over whatever your CPA tells you to pay, you're probably leaving a ton of money on the table.How to fix it:Be proactive, not reactive. Most CPAs are just paper pushers—they file your taxes but don't actively strategize for you. Work with a tax planner who can help minimize what you owe.Optimize your business structure. Whether you're an LLC, S-Corp, or C-Corp, your choice of entity can save (or cost) you thousands every year.Maximize deductions. Home office, travel, business meals, health insurance—if it's a legitimate business expense, make sure it's written off.Leverage advanced tax strategies. Cost segregation on real estate, R&D credits, retirement plans—these aren't just for big corporations. They're for you, too!Happy Hustle Takeaway: The tax code is designed to benefit entrepreneurs. Learn the rules, play the game, and keep more of your hard-earned money—ethically, of course.Interest – The Hidden Cost of BorrowingDebt is sneaky. It's not just about what you borrow—it's about how much interest is quietly stacking up against you.How to fix it:Know your rates. If you've got debt above 8% interest, that's a red flag. Credit card debt at 20%+? That's straight-up robbery.Refinance smart. If rates drop or your credit improves, renegotiate your mortgage, car loan, or business debt.Pay off high-interest debt first. Prioritize the most expensive debts and get rid of them ASAP.Use low-interest business credit instead of personal credit. Protect your personal score and leverage better financing options.Happy Hustle Takeaway: Every dollar wasted on interest is a dollar you could be using to fund your dream life, travel, or invest in your next big idea.Investment Fees – The Silent Wealth DrainCompounding fees can quietly eat away at your investment returns over time. Even a "small" 1% management fee can cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars over decades.How to fix it:Audit your investment accounts. Check your 401(k), IRAs, brokerage accounts—what are you actually paying in fees?Shift to low-fee funds. Index funds and ETFs usually have lower fees than mutual funds.Work with fee-only advisors. Avoid financial "advisors" who earn commissions from selling you products. Pay for advice, not someone's hidden agenda.Happy Hustle Takeaway: Compound interest can make you rich, but compound fees can keep you broke. Know what you're paying and eliminate unnecessary costs.Insurance – Protect Yourself Without OverpayingInsurance is crucial, but overpaying for coverage you don't need is just as bad as not having enough coverage.How to fix it:Conduct an annual insurance audit. Prices change, and so do your needs. Make sure your coverage is still the best fit.Insure for the catastrophic. Cover the big stuff—like life-altering events—not minor expenses.Raise your deductibles. This can significantly lower your premiums.Eliminate redundant coverage. Make sure you're not paying for overlapping policies.Happy Hustle Takeaway: Insurance is peace of mind, but it shouldn't drain your bank account. Be strategic and only pay for what truly matters.By optimizing these four areas, you'll not only stop the leaks but also create a stronger financial foundation for yourself and your business.If you want to dive deeper into these strategies, don't miss this episode.

What if I told you that attraction in relationships isn't just about chemistry—it's a skill you can develop?Yep, you read that right. In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, we're bringing back an absolute fire guest training from our Happy Hustle Club, featuring Keith Yackey—Founder & CEO of The Married Game. This dude has cracked the code on why attraction fades in long-term relationships and, more importantly, how to get it back.Keith shares his personal transformation story—how his wife left him and how he used that pain as fuel to build a bulletproof strategy for reigniting passion. He dives deep into the dynamics of attraction, the common mistakes men make in relationships (spoiler: being a pouty little B is a major turn-off), and how to level up your connection using his Five Dials framework.Whether you're an entrepreneur balancing business and love or just someone looking to strengthen your relationship, this episode is packed with game-changing insights. Let's be real—keeping the fire alive in a relationship isn't always easy, especially when life gets busy. But here's the kicker: most men sabotage attraction without even realizing it.Keith breaks down a few major mistakes that kill intimacy:Passive Aggressiveness & Pouting – Acting like a "pouty little B" when rejected doesn't make you more attractive; it makes you less desirable. No woman has ever thought, "Wow, his whining is SO sexy. Let's do this."Lack of Personal Growth – If you're not evolving, you're stagnating. Women are drawn to ambition and self-improvement.Forgetting to Play – Remember the fun, flirty energy you had when you first met? If you stop bringing that playfulness, the attraction fades.The Five Dials: Your Relationship PlaybookKeith introduces The Five Dials—a game-changing way to measure and improve attraction in your relationship.The Partner Dial – Are you showing up as an equal partner, emotionally and physically?The Producer Dial – Are you ambitious and creating value in your life and business?The Player Dial – Are you fun, spontaneous, and keeping things exciting?The Power Dial – Are you standing strong in your confidence and leadership?The Parenting/Friendship Dial – How well do you balance being a great parent (if you have kids) and a reliable friend to your partner?When these dials are out of sync, attraction suffers. But when you dial them in? That's when the magic happens.As an entrepreneur, you're wired to optimize your business, but are you optimizing your relationship? Think about it—what's the point of crushing it in your career if your personal life is falling apart?The same principles you apply to business success—growth, consistency, and value creation—also apply to relationships. When you invest in yourself, level up your mindset, and bring that energy into your relationship, you naturally become more attractive. If you're ready to turn things around in your relationship and unlock next-level attraction, this episode is a must-listen. Keith drops straight fire on what it takes to build deep, lasting attraction—and how to stop sabotaging yourself.Connect with Keithhttps://www.instagram.com/keithyackey/https://www.facebook.com/keith.yackeyhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5wfJxlWgkoUD6_b04gKA2ghttps://twitter.com/KeithYackeyFind Keith on his website: https://www.marriedgame.com/Connect with Cary!https://www.instagram.com/caryjack/https://www.facebook.com/SirCaryJackhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cary-jack-kendzior/https://twitter.com/thehappyhustlehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFDNsD59tLxv2JfEuSsNMOQ/featuredGet a free copy of his new book, The Happy Hustle, 10 Alignments to Avoid Burnout & Achieve Blissful Balance https://www.thehappyhustle.com/bookSign up for The Journey: 10 Days To Become a Happy Hustler Online Course https://thehappyhustle.com/thejourney/Apply to the Montana Mastermind Epic Camping Adventure https://thehappyhustle.com/mastermind/“It's time to Happy Hustle, a blissfully balanced life you love, full of passion, purpose, and positive impact!”Episode Sponsor: Magnesium Breakthrough from BiOptimizers https://bioptimizers.com/happyIf you've been on a restricted diet lately or maybe even taken some meds to shed those pounds for the summer, I gotta warn ya—be careful!

What if I told you that every successful sale boils down to just four essential elements? Whether you're selling a high-ticket coaching program, an online course, or a revolutionary product, mastering these four C's will help you close deals with ease. In this episode of the Happy Hustle Podcast, I'll reveal the most important C—the one that truly seals the deal.Sales isn't about being pushy or manipulative. It's about understanding human psychology, building relationships, and offering genuine solutions. So, let's break down the 4 C's every sale requires so you can start selling smarter, not harder!Conviction: Believe in What You SellEver talked to someone who didn't seem convinced about what they were saying? It's hard to trust them, right? That's why conviction is the foundation of any successful sale.If you don't believe in your product or service 100%, why should anyone else? When you speak with conviction, your confidence naturally follows, and people can feel it. Selling becomes effortless when you truly stand behind your offer.Action Step:Write down three reasons why your product or service is valuable and how it changes lives. Keep these reasons top of mind whenever you're talking to potential customers.2. Confidence: Own Your OfferConfidence is contagious. When you deliver your pitch with authority, people are more likely to trust you. But confidence isn't just about what you say—it's how you say it.Your tone of voice should be strong and certain.Your body language should be open and engaging.Your storytelling should paint a clear picture of success.Think about a high-ticket offer. If you're pitching a $10,000 program and you sound hesitant, your prospect won't take you seriously. But if you exude confidence, they'll believe in the value you're providing.Action Step:Record yourself pitching your offer. Play it back and analyze your tone, energy, and body language. If you sound uncertain, practice until you can deliver with confidence.3. Connection: Build Trust FirstHere's the truth: People don't buy products. They buy people.If you want to make sales, you need to connect with your audience. Sales isn't just about closing deals—it's about building relationships. Your prospect needs to know, like, and trust you before they'll ever hand over their credit card.Match their energy – If they're laid back, don't come in too strong. If they're high-energy, match their enthusiasm.Mirror their body language – Subtly reflecting their gestures builds subconscious rapport.Be genuinely curious – Ask about their pain points and goals. Listen actively and align your solution to their needs.Action Step:Before your next sales call, research your prospect. Find a common interest or background connection to build instant rapport.4. Conversion: Seal the Deal (Without Being Pushy)This is where most people get nervous. But if you've nailed conviction, confidence, and connection, conversion becomes the natural next step.The best closers don't push; they gently guide. They ask great questions and let the prospect realize the value on their own.Remove friction – Make the buying process simple.Overcome objections with confidence – Address concerns before they even arise.Assume the sale – Instead of asking, “Would you like to buy?” try, “Would you prefer to pay in full or with a payment plan?”Action Step:Practice closing conversations with a friend or colleague. Focus on making the process feel natural and effortless.Sales doesn't have to be sleazy or stressful. When you integrate conviction, confidence, connection, and conversion into your process, you'll not only close more deals—you'll actually enjoy selling!Now, if you're ready to take your sales game to the next level, check out my full breakdown on this episode. I dive even deeper into these four C's and share real-world examples of how you can apply them today.Connect with Cary!https://www.instagram.com/caryjack/https://www.facebook.com/SirCaryJackhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cary-jack-kendzior/https://twitter.com/thehappyhustlehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFDNsD59tLxv2JfEuSsNMOQ/featured Get a free copy of his new book, The Happy Hustle, 10 Alignments to Avoid Burnout & Achieve Blissful Balance https://www.thehappyhustle.com/bookSign up for The Journey: 10 Days To Become a Happy Hustler Online Coursehttps://thehappyhustle.com/thejourney/Apply to the Montana Mastermind Epic Camping Adventurehttps://thehappyhustle.com/mastermind/“It's time to Happy Hustle, a blissfully balanced life you love, full of passion, purpose, and positive impact!”Episode Sponsor: Magnesium Breakthrough from BiOptimizers (https://bioptimizers.com/happy)If you've been on a restricted diet lately or maybe even taken some meds to shed those pounds for the summer, I gotta warn ya—be careful!

What if I told you there's a way to make consistent cash flow from the stock market without spending all day glued to your computer screen? Sounds too good to be true, right? Well, it's not — and in this week's Happy Hustle Podcast episode, we're diving deep into exactly how you can do it!I had the pleasure of bringing back one of our guest gurus from The Happy Hustle Club, with Jeremy Newsome. Jeremy is a life hacker, entrepreneur, endurance athlete, and a total rockstar in the stock market space. His specialty? Teaching everyday people (like you and me) how to generate consistent cash flow through covered calls and smart stock market strategies. And trust me — this episode is PACKED with gold.So if you've ever thought, “Man, I wish I could make my money work for me,” this episode is for YOU.Jeremy dropped a major truth bomb in our conversation: Most people think the stock market is just for long-term investing, but very few understand how to generate consistent cash flow from it. This is where the game changes, my friends.The strategy Jeremy talked about is called covered calls — a way to get paid every single week just for owning a stock. Imagine making $500, $1,000, or even $5,000 per month in passive income from your stocks. Sounds like a Happy Hustler's dream, right?One of the most powerful things Jeremy said was this: “The skill of trading is something that, once you learn it, you have it forever.”Think about it. If you spent 50-100 hours learning how to make $500-$5,000 a month through covered calls, that's a skill you can monetize for LIFE.It's like learning how to ride a bike or start a business. Once you've got it down, it's yours to keep.And if you're thinking, “I don't have time to learn all that,” let me remind you — you're already investing your time in social media, Netflix, and endless scrolling. Why not spend some of that time learning a high-income skill that could change your financial future?Jeremy has personally helped countless people build six- and seven-figure portfolios, and his strategies are ridiculously simple when you break them down.The stock market doesn't have to be scary. It doesn't have to be a rollercoaster of emotions. With the right education and strategy, you can create consistent cash flow that supports your dream life.And if you're ready to dive deeper, I highly recommend checking out the full episode. This dude is the real deal and breaks down the stock market in a way that anyone can understand.It's time to take control of your financial future. Learn the skill. Build the cash flow. And go live that freedom lifestyle you've been dreaming about.Connect with Jerremyhttps://www.instagram.com/jerremynewsome/https://www.facebook.com/jerremyalexandernewsome/https://www.linkedin.com/in/jerremynewsomehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPPNysg5PvYuJjkp8q7RxOQhttps://twitter.com/newsomenuggetsFind Jerremy on his website: jerremynewsome.com reallifetrading.comConnect with Cary!https://www.instagram.com/caryjack/https://www.facebook.com/SirCaryJackhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cary-jack-kendzior/https://twitter.com/thehappyhustlehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFDNsD59tLxv2JfEuSsNMOQ/featuredGet a free copy of his new book, The Happy Hustle, 10 Alignments to Avoid Burnout & Achieve Blissful Balance https://www.thehappyhustle.com/bookSign up for The Journey: 10 Days To Become a Happy Hustler Online Course https://thehappyhustle.com/thejourney/Apply to the Montana Mastermind Epic Camping Adventure https://thehappyhustle.com/mastermind/“It's time to Happy Hustle, a blissfully balanced life you love, full of passion, purpose, and positive impact!”Episode Sponsor: Magnesium Breakthrough from BiOptimizers https://bioptimizers.com/happyIf you've been on a restricted diet lately or maybe even taken some meds to shed those pounds for the summer, I gotta warn ya—be careful!

Curate the Right PeopleYou've heard it before: Your network is your net worth. And when it comes to masterminds, this couldn't be truer. Don't just take anyone willing to pay—handpick attendees who align with your vision and energy. One bad apple can spoil the vibe, so be selective.Design Transformational ExperiencesA mastermind is NOT just an event. It's an experience. Get people out of their comfort zones and into something immersive and unforgettable.For example, in my Montana Mastermind, we go completely off the grid for five days—learning survival skills, practicing breathwork, and masterminding under the stars. This blend of adventure, learning, and deep connection creates breakthroughs like no other.Incorporate adventure and nature.Blend business strategy with personal growth.Make it a full-body experience, not just a seminar.Facilitate Deep ConversationsNetworking? Overrated. Deep, authentic relationships? That's where the magic happens.We use structured conversation techniques, like:

What if you could create your own AI assistant—one that thinks like you, responds like you, and handles tasks so efficiently that it frees up hours of your time every day? Sounds like sci-fi, right?

It's real, and it's happening right now!In this episode of the Happy Hustle Podcast, we're resharing another guest guru training from our Happy Hustle Club, a private mastermind with high-level entrepreneurs, and one of our member Ryan Blaser—CEO and Founder of Test My Home, Electrical Engineer, Certified Building Biologist Environmental Consultant (BBEC), and Electromagnetic Radiation Specialist (EMRS).

That's the kind of power Ryan Blaser is bringing to the table.Key Takeaways from the Episode:The Future of AI Interactions – How AI is shifting from a generic information tool to a personalized virtual assistant.Building Your Own AI Knowledge Base – The exact process Ryan uses to feed AI with personalized data from emails, documents, and transcripts.Game-Changing AI Applications for Business – How entrepreneurs can automate email responses, generate proposals, create SOPs, and even manage social media DMs with AI-powered assistants.AI Business Models & Opportunities – The best ways to leverage AI in your business, from consulting to automation services.Ryan has already been using AI to manage his emails, automate chats, and streamline business operations. His AI-enhanced workflow has saved him 4–5 hours per day—time that can now be invested in scaling his business or simply enjoying life. This is the next-level efficiency that every entrepreneur should be paying attention to.This episode isn't just about theory—it's about taking action.

Have you ever met someone who talks a big game but never backs it up?You know, the kind of person who seems to know everything but does nothing? Well, today, we're diving into the difference between parrots and practitioners—breaking down procedural versus declarative knowledge—and giving you five tactical ways to shift from being a talker to a doer. I haven't always been a practitioner. I used to be a parrot. And today, I want to share how I transitioned and how you can too. A parrot is someone who repeats things they've heard but never actually applies what they've learned. You probably know a few of these people. They attend every seminar, read every book, take every course—but never do anything with the knowledge. They throw around business buzzwords but don't have real-world results to show for it.Parrots thrive on declarative knowledge. That's when you know about something but don't actually do it. Think of someone who's read 10 books on investing but never put a dollar in the market. Or a “health expert” who preaches fitness but doesn't look the partOn the other hand, a practitioner is someone who does the work. They apply what they learn, experiment, fail, refine, and keep pushing forward—whether or not anyone is watching. Practitioners build procedural knowledge, meaning they've lived through the experience and earned their expertise.Practitioners say, “I did,” while parrots say, “I should.” And that distinction makes all the difference. So, how do you make the shift? Here are five tactical steps to go from just talking about success to creating it.Audit Your Knowledge vs. ExecutionAsk yourself: Are you consuming information just to sound smart, or are you applying it? Take stock of what you've learned recently and make a plan to put it into action immediately.Adopt the 70/30 RuleSpend 70% of your time doing and only 30% of your time learning. Reading books is great, but results come from execution. Like Tony Robbins says (and I'm gonna parrot him here), knowledge isn't power—execution is.Set Action-Based GoalsInstead of saying, “I want to start a business,” say, “I will create my first offer and get five paying customers by the end of the month.” Make it specific, measurable, and time-bound.Surround Yourself with PractitionersYou become who you hang out with. If your circle is full of people who talk but never do, it's time to level up your network. That's why we have The Happy Hustle Club—a mastermind of high-level entrepreneurs who are actually taking action.Apply the 48-Hour Rule(Game-Changer!)Whenever you learn something valuable, apply it within 48 hours. This prevents you from becoming a knowledge hoarder and forces you to take action.The world is full of parrots, but success belongs to the practitioners. If you want to truly Happy Hustle your dream life, you need to do the work. Audit your execution, set action-based goals, surround yourself with the right people, and most importantly—apply what you learn.So, are you a parrot or a practitioner?Connect with Cary!https://www.instagram.com/caryjack/https://www.facebook.com/SirCaryJackhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cary-jack-kendzior/https://twitter.com/thehappyhustlehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFDNsD59tLxv2JfEuSsNMOQ/featured Get a free copy of his new book, The Happy Hustle, 10 Alignments to Avoid Burnout & Achieve Blissful Balance https://www.thehappyhustle.com/bookSign up for The Journey: 10 Days To Become a Happy Hustler Online Coursehttps://thehappyhustle.com/thejourney/Apply to the Montana Mastermind Epic Camping Adventurehttps://thehappyhustle.com/mastermind/“It's time to Happy Hustle, a blissfully balanced life you love, full of passion, purpose, and positive impact!”Episode Sponsor: Magnesium Breakthrough from BiOptimizers (https://bioptimizers.com/happy)If you've been on a restricted diet lately or maybe even taken some meds to shed those pounds for the summer, I gotta warn ya—be careful!

Do you feel like you're spinning your wheels but not getting anywhere? Like something's blocking you from reaching your full potential? Well, my friend, chances are you're dealing with one (or more) of these five dream killers. And let me tell you, if you don't know the last one, you're probably doing it—without even realizing it—and it's keeping you from where you truly want to go.In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I'm breaking down the five biggest dream killers and, more importantly, how to overcome them so you can Happy Hustle your way to a life you truly love—one filled with passion, purpose, and positive impact. And hey, if you're not careful, these dream killers will sneak up on you. So let's dive in!Doubt – The Silent Dream KillerDoubt is that little voice in your head whispering, You're not good enough. You can't do this. Who do you think you are? Sound familiar? Yeah, doubt is sneaky like that. It stops you before you even start, and if you let it, it'll keep you stuck forever.Solution: Confidence, my friend. And confidence comes from repetition and results. Start stacking small wins every single day. Say your I AM mantras (I do this daily). Remind yourself of your past successes. Speak positivity into your subconscious and cut that doubt out of your life for good.Delusion – The False Story You Keep Telling YourselfDelusion is believing your own excuses. It's blaming others, thinking the world is out to get you, and refusing to take ownership of your own results. And the danger? It keeps you in a victim mindset instead of a victor mindset.Solution: Radical responsibility. Audit your excuses. Ask yourself, Is this belief empowering me or holding me back? Then replace limiting beliefs with empowering truths. Own your actions. Own your results. Own your future.Delay – The Procrastination Trap“I'll start tomorrow.” “I'll launch my business next year.” “I'll get healthy when work slows down.” Sound familiar? Delay is a dream killer, and too many people take their dreams to the grave because they keep waiting for the perfect moment.Solution: The 5-Second Rule. Countdown—5, 4, 3, 2, 1—and take action before your brain talks you out of it. Good and done is better than perfect and never finished. Just get started.Discouragement – Letting Setbacks Stop YouSetbacks, failures, criticism—yeah, they suck. But the biggest mistake you can make? Letting them discourage you to the point of quitting. Most people give up right before their breakthrough. Don't let that be you.Solution: Shift your mindset. Failures aren't setbacks; they're setups for something greater. Every challenge is happening for you, not to you. Failure is just fertilizer for future growth. Keep pushing forward.Distraction – The Ultimate Dream KillerAnd here it is—the biggest dream killer in today's world: distraction. Death-scrolling on Instagram, binge-watching Netflix, playing video games for hours—these things suck your time and energy away from what truly matters.Solution: Create focus zones. Block out 90 minutes of deep, uninterrupted work. Track your time for 24 hours and see where your distractions are creeping in. If it's not moving you closer to your goals, it's stealing from your dreams. These five dream killers—doubt, delusion, delay, discouragement, and distraction—are what's keeping most people stuck. But now that you know them, you have the power to overcome them. Start taking action today, and Happy Hustle your way to a life of freedom, fulfillment, and impact!Ready to level up?

How do you spend your money? Are you buying things that elevate your life, or are you stuck in a cycle of spending that keeps you broke? The truth is, your money mindset determines your financial future. And today, I'm breaking down the four money mindsets that separate the wealthy from the broke.And let me tell ya, the fourth one might just surprise you. Stick around because this simple mindset shift can take you from scarcity to abundance in no time!First off, I gotta give credit where credit is due. My main man, Alex Hormozi, first shared this concept, and I'm expanding on it with my own insights because it really hits home. The Four Money Mindsets That Shape Your Financial FuturePoor People Buy StuffPoor people stay broke because they spend their money on things that don't add long-term value—like the latest iPhone, flashy cars, or expensive clothes just to impress people they don't even like! It's not about how much money they make—it's about what they do with it.I know people who make six figures a year but are still stuck because they finance luxury items instead of investing in their future. If your spending isn't improving your life in the long run, you're going to stay in the same spot.Lazy People Buy DistractionsNetflix binges, endless video games, and mindless scrolling—sound familiar? These distractions steal your attention and keep you from creating your dream life. Lazy people trade their time for temporary pleasure and then wonder why they're not progressing.Look, I get it. I watch shows with my wife, and I scroll through the ‘gram. But the difference? I set time limits. I keep my social media use to one hour a day, and I'm more of a producer than a consumer. So ask yourself—are you using your time wisely, or are you buying distractions?Ambitious People Buy SkillsLet me say it louder for the people in the back: SKILLS PAY THE BILLS. If you want to make more money, invest in skills. Coaching, courses, books, experiences—these are the things that actually increase your value.If you look at the top entrepreneurs, they didn't get rich by being good at everything. They became the best at one or two things and then expanded. One skill I highly recommend? Sales. Mastering influence will change your entire financial trajectory—trust me on that.Rich People Buy TimeThis is the big one. Wealthy people value their time above all else. They don't try to do everything themselves—they delegate, automate, and eliminate unnecessary tasks. That's why they have assistants, cleaners, private jets—anything that saves time and increases efficiency.If you're doing everything yourself, you're stuck in a scarcity mindset. Start thinking like a CEO: What's the highest and best use of your time? Invest in delegation and free yourself up to focus on what truly matters.Now that you know the four money mindsets, how do you actually shift from scarcity to abundance? Here are three actionable steps:Increase AwarenessTrack your finances. Know where your money is going. What you measure, you can manage.Reallocate Your SpendingTake 5-10% of your income and stop buying stuff. Instead, invest in skills or delegation—hire an assistant, take an AI course, or learn a high-income skill.Buy Back Your TimeThink like a CEO. Ask yourself daily: What's the best use of my time? Prioritize the tasks that create the biggest impact and delegate the rest.If you want to increase your income, you need to focus on value creation. The more valuable you are, the more you'll earn. It's that simple.So, my friend, take action! Eliminate distractions, invest in skills, and buy back your time.

Are you saying “Yes” to the right opportunities?In this week's episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I dive into the 11 questions you NEED to evaluate any opportunity. These questions make up my decision matrix, the tool I use to figure out what deserves a “yes” and what needs a hard “no.” Trust me, if you're an entrepreneur hustling for creative, time, and financial freedom, this framework is about to change the game for you.Without a clear way to assess opportunities, it's easy to say yes to things that drain your energy or take you off course. Been there, done that. But with the right system in place, you'll be making smarter choices that align with your long-term goals, your brand, and your dream lifestyle.Whether you're already crushing it or just starting out, this episode offers a refresh or a completely new operating system for your decision-making process. Here are the 11 questions I use to evaluate any opportunity: Does it align with my long-term vision?Does this opportunity support your dream reality? If it doesn't get you closer to your goals, it's a no. What's the financial ROI?Your time is your most valuable asset. If there's no clear path to profitability, it's not worth it. Effort vs. ImpactHow much time, energy, and money will it require? Compare that to the expected payoff. Will it generate leads or business growth?Think about how this could positively impact your reputation and bring in new opportunities. Can my team handle it?Evaluate whether your current infrastructure has the bandwidth to make this happen without burning out. Does it align with my brand and lifestyle?This is a biggie! If it compromises your core values or takes away from your happy hustle lifestyle, pass. What are the risks?Consider the worst-case scenario. Is the juice worth the squeeze? Is it scalable and sustainable?Long-term wins > quick hits. Look for opportunities that have staying power. Will it bring personal fulfillment?Your life's quality matters. If it doesn't enhance your happiness or align with your purpose, it's not worth it. Is it innovative or unique?Will this set you apart from competitors or bring something fresh to the table? Can success be clearly defined and measured?If you can't measure the results, how will you know if it's worth it?Not every opportunity is meant for you. And that's okay! As they say, if it's not a “hell yes,” it's a no. But—and this is key—sometimes you need to say yes to stepping stones that lead to your ultimate goals. The point is to evaluate each decision carefully and ensure it aligns with where you want to go.Are you ready to level up by using these 11 questions to filter opportunities and focus on what truly matters? If you're serious about creating your dream lifestyle, this decision matrix is a must.Connect with Cary!https://www.instagram.com/caryjack/https://www.facebook.com/SirCaryJackhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cary-jack-kendzior/https://twitter.com/thehappyhustlehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFDNsD59tLxv2JfEuSsNMOQ/featured Get a free copy of his new book, The Happy Hustle, 10 Alignments to Avoid Burnout & Achieve Blissful Balance https://www.thehappyhustle.com/bookSign up for The Journey: 10 Days To Become a Happy Hustler Online Coursehttps://thehappyhustle.com/thejourney/Apply to the Montana Mastermind Epic Camping Adventurehttps://thehappyhustle.com/mastermind/“It's time to Happy Hustle, a blissfully balanced life you love, full of passion, purpose, and positive impact!”Episode Sponsor: Magnesium Breakthrough from BiOptimizers (https://bioptimizers.com/happy)If you've been on a restricted diet lately or maybe even taken some meds to shed those pounds for the summer, I gotta warn ya—be careful!

Have you ever dreamed of creating your ideal life and wondered how to make it happen? I know the term manifestation can sound a little woo-woo at first, but trust me—it works. In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I'm breaking down how I'm manifesting magic for 2025 and how YOU can too. I'll share my proven 3-step process, some practical hacks, and even a few personal success stories to show you what's possible. Contrary to what some people think, manifestation isn't about sitting on your couch and wishing for a Ferrari to show up in your garage. (Spoiler: It won't.)Manifestation requires clarity, intention, and action. Think of it like archery: If you don't have a clear target, you'll miss every time. You've got to see the goal, feel what it's like to achieve it, and take aligned action to make it a reality. Here's the exact process I use to create my dream life—and you can too:Step 1: Visualize with ClarityYou need to see what you're striving for in vivid detail. Whether it's becoming a bestselling author or launching your dream business, visualize every aspect of your goal. The more specific you get, the more powerful your visualization will be.Step 2: Take Aligned ActionManifestation isn't just about dreaming; it's about doing. I like to reverse-engineer my goals by breaking them into manageable steps. Aligned actions are the bridge between your dreams and reality.Step 3: Trust the ProcessOnce you've set your goals and taken action, trust that the universe will handle the rest. Celebrate small wins, stay grateful, and don't quit. Half the battle in achieving your dreams is simply not giving up.Here are a few tools to supercharge your manifestation journey:Create a Vision Board: Visual reminders keep you focused and inspired.Practice Daily Affirmations: Speak your goals into existence with “I am” statements.Build Energizing Rituals: Whether it's exercise, prayer, or giving back, daily habits fuel your progress.I know you've got big dreams, and I can't wait to see you crush them.

Are you sleeping enough to hustle at your best?In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I sat down with Dr. Michael Breus, also known as "The Sleep Doctor." He's a Clinical Psychologist and a Sleep Medicine Expert who knows exactly how vital sleep is for entrepreneurs like us. Spoiler alert: it's a game-changer for your productivity, creativity, and overall well-being. Dr. Breus and I dove into some of the biggest myths about sleep that are holding so many of us back. Think you can thrive on 4 hours of sleep? Or that catching up on weekends actually works? Nope. He broke it all down, explaining how these common beliefs can mess with your performance and long-term health.Sleep isn't just about getting enough hours; it's about getting quality hours. And trust me, there's a big difference! This episode isn't just about what's wrong with our sleep habits—it's packed with actionable advice you can start. Here are some of my favorite tips from Dr. Breus:Master your wake-up time - Consistency is key. Your body loves a routine.Try simple breathing techniques - Even just 5 minutes of deep breathing can help you wind down faster.Avoid tech before bed- Blue light from screens is the enemy of good sleep. Dr. Breus has tips for minimizing its effects.We also talked about the role of technology and supplements in sleep. From melatonin to magnesium to CBD, Dr. Breus explained how these can help—but only if you truly understand what your body needs. Pro tip: don't just reach for supplements without knowing your deficiencies.Oh, and alcohol? Bad news for your REM cycle. But interestingly, there's a surprising link between sexual activity and better sleep that you might want to explore.This conversation with Dr. Breus was an absolute game-changer, and I know it will be for you too. If you've been sacrificing sleep for your hustle, it's time to flip the script. Sleep isn't a luxury—it's a necessity for crushing your goals and staying happy while you hustle.

Are you ready to end the year strong and set yourself up for an epic 2025? That's exactly what I'm diving into today's episode—reflection, refocusing, and recharging. These strategies are my go-to for closing the year strong and starting the next one even stronger. Let's break it down so you can apply these steps and make 2025 your best year.Reflect on 2024's Highs and LowsYou can't crush the future if you don't learn from the past. That's why reflection is key. Here's how I break it down:What was the best thing that happened to me personally in 2024?What was the best thing that happened professionally?What was the biggest challenge I faced personally?What was the biggest challenge professionally?Answering these questions helps you identify what worked, what didn't, and what lessons you can carry forward. Sure, you could go deeper—journal every month or analyze every week—but starting with these big-picture questions is a solid foundation.Reflection isn't just about looking back; it's about learning and evolving. As Happy Hustlers, we're all about harmonizing ambition and well-being, so make sure you're reflecting on both personal and professional wins and challenges.Refocus for 2025 Goals Once you've reflected, it's time to shift gears and refocus. The secret to a killer year? Crystal-clear goals. Here's how I set mine:Personal Goal: What's the one thing you want to achieve personally in 2025? Maybe it's improving your health, building stronger relationships, or starting a family. Pick one goal that truly matters.Professional Goal: What's your top business or career objective for the year? Whether it's launching a new project, scaling your income, or building your brand, get laser-focused on your top priority.Why just one goal for each? Because simplicity breeds success. When you focus on fewer, bigger goals, you're more likely to achieve them—and crush them along the way.Recharge Your Battery Here's where most high-performers slip up—they go hard all year without taking the time to recharge. Let me tell you, starting 2025 on an empty tank is not the move.This year, I'm taking two weeks to unplug in South America with my family. No emails, no work—just sun, sand, and quality time. But you don't have to fly across the globe to recharge. Even a weekend getaway, a staycation, or a digital detox can work wonders.Here are a few more tips to recharge effectively:Keep up with workouts and healthy eating.Drink plenty of water—hydration is key.Prioritize sleep and recovery.Check-in on your health with a year-end blood test.Recharging isn't a luxury; it's essential for high performance. Taking care of yourself now means you'll be ready to hit the ground running in the new year.These three steps are my recipe for ending 2024 strong and entering 2025 with purpose and energy. Now it's your turn to put them into action.Let's make 2025 the best year yet. Happy Hustle, and let's crush those goals together!

Did you know that 2 out of every 3 employees are disengaged and unhappy with their work? That's right—two-thirds of your team might not be as invested as you think. And get this, over $400 billion is wasted every year in the U.S. alone due to disengaged employees. That's some serious money down the drain, and it's only going to get worse if we don't take action. But don't worry, I've got the solution for you, my friend.In today's episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, we're diving deep into employee happiness, engagement, and how it directly impacts your bottom line. If you're a mission-driven founder looking to build a thriving, happy team, then this is the podcast episode you can't afford to miss!A study from Gallup shows that 34% of a disengaged employee's salary is essentially wasted because they're not producing at their full potential. This is exactly why quiet quitting has become such a huge issue—employees are showing up physically, but mentally? Not so much.
