Ever feel like you're grinding hard but not moving the needle on what truly matters? In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, we're resharing an epic Guest Guru training from our Happy Hustle Club featuring Craig Ballantyne — the “World's Most Disciplined Man,” author of The Perfect Day Formula and the Wall Street Journal bestseller Unstoppable. Craig's built a reputation for helping high-performers cut through the noise, prioritize like a boss, and focus on what actually matters for long-term success and happiness. And in this conversation, he drops some serious wisdom on what he calls “Level 10 Problems” — those make-or-break issues in your life and business that demand your full attention and best effort.Craig shares how most people unknowingly put “Level 10 Effort” into “Level 1 Problems” — spending massive amounts of energy on the wrong things while giving minimal effort to the big, critical challenges that could truly transform their lives. He breaks down how to spot these high-impact problems, why we often avoid them, and the practical, actionable steps to address them head-on. From business bottlenecks and tough conversations with underperforming team members to rekindling connection in a marriage that's gone cold, Craig doesn't just point out the problem — he gives you the roadmap to solve it.Here are a few gold nuggets you'll take away from this episode: tackle your most important problems first, even if they're uncomfortable. Understand that discipline isn't about doing more; it's about doing the right things consistently. Build and protect your relationships, because they're the foundation of both personal fulfillment and professional success. Make intentional time for the people and activities that matter most. And remember, avoiding the tough stuff only delays the growth and breakthroughs you're capable of achieving.This is one of those conversations that can flip a switch for you — where you start looking at your to-do list and your calendar differently, prioritizing with clarity, and putting your best energy where it counts. If you're ready to stop spinning your wheels and start solving your true Level 10 Problems, you won't want to miss this one.

Bestselling author and Breitbart News editor-in-chief Alex Marlow joins us to discuss his latest book, Breaking the Law. In this in-depth conversation, Marlow explains his research into high-profile legal cases, the concept of “lawfare,” and how he believes political and legal systems intersect in today's America. We explore historical context, recent events, and potential reforms — all with a focus on understanding where the country's legal landscape might be headed.ABOUT BREAKING THE LAWAlex Marlow, editor-in-chief of Breitbart News and two-time New York Times bestselling author of Breaking the News and Breaking Biden, returns with his third book: BREAKING THE LAW: EXPOSING THE WEAPONIZATION OF AMERICA'S LEGAL SYSTEM AGAINST DONALD TRUMP (Threshold Editions; Hardcover; On-sale August 5, 2025), a fearless and thoroughly researched exposé on the new political battleground: the American legal system. In this urgent and gripping book, Marlow turns his sharp investigative lens to the legal cases targeting President Donald Trump-and what they mean for the future of the conservative movement and the rule of law in America. BREAKING THE LAW reveals how legal institutions are being repurposed as political weapons. Marlow not only exposes the players and tactics behind this unprecedented campaign but also makes bold predictions about where this trend is heading-and what conservatives must do to fight back. Hailed "a must read" by President Trump, Marlow's book is both timely and timeless. It's the first major retrospective on the 2024 election and how the legal war on Trump influenced voters, media narratives, and the conservative base. This is Alex Marlow at his most uncompromising and clear-eyed. With the same meticulous reporting and narrative drive that defined his previous works, BREAKING THE LAW offers a provocative and authoritative response to one of the most consequential legal and political stories of our time.ABOUT ALEX MARLOWAlexander Marlow is the New York Times bestselling author of BREAKING THE NEWS and BREAKING BIDEN.

In this thought-provoking episode of The Strategic Oracle, Kim Woods shares Why I Unpublished My Bestselling Book, diving deeply into the transformative journey behind unpublishing her ninth book—even after a successful launch. She explores the role of intuition, alignment, and soul-driven strategy in business and creative work. If you've ever questioned your next step, faced misalignment in your offerings, or sensed a greater calling, this episode holds clarifying guidance and actionable wisdom.Key TakeawaysThe Power of Reversal: Letting Go for AlignmentCompletion and New Beginnings: Kim shares how the number nine symbolizes wholeness and ripening, marking not just the completion of a writing journey, but also the beginning of a new cycle.Transformation Through Creation: Writing—whether fiction or nonfiction—is more than storytelling; it's a personal metamorphosis, mirroring the evolution we often resist in business.Trusting Intuitive Guidance: Despite external success (bestseller lists, accolades), an inner discord signaled that her book needed to be unpublished. Trusting soul over strategy can mean releasing “old outfits” that no longer fit.Asset-First, Depth-Driven Success: Kim redefines success as cultivating powerful assets and deep, intimate connections rather than wide-reaching, surface-level visibility.Inspiring Quotes"If I left the book where it was, I was anchoring myself to old energy that wasn't belonging in the world.""Your system is so much deeper than this. There's such a power that the power gets rippled through its depth, not through its reach."Key Questions Answered1. Why did you decide to unpublish your successful book?Kim recognized an inner misalignment—even as her book achieved bestseller status. Despite external achievements, she felt the book reflected “old energy” not aligned with her soul's current truth. She explains, “I was anchoring myself to old energy that wasn't belonging in the world… If it's not the right message, then it needs not to live.”2. What did the experience of unpublishing your book reveal about the creative and business process?Deep transformation often requires courageous reversal. Kim describes cycles of creation as moments of wholeness, culminating in recognizing when something must be released—even if it's painful or counterintuitive. Letting go opened space for more authentic, potent work to arise.3. How can entrepreneurs and creatives apply this lesson of reversal in their own work?It's important to honestly assess misalignments, even subtle ones: “What do you need to burn down? Maybe it's not a full scale, maybe it's just a minor tweak, but the reverberations of that are incredible.” She invites everyone to listen deeply to intuition, recognize when methods no longer serve, and make bold moves toward truer alignment.Action Steps & ReflectionAudit Your Offerings: Are your products, services, or creative works still aligned with who you are now? Use intuitive check-ins, not just data.Embrace Reversal as Growth: Sometimes letting go is the most strategic move. Realignment is not failure, but a leap toward authentic impact.Prioritize Depth Over Reach: Focus on building powerful, meaningful assets and relationships, instead of chasing mass appeal when it feels out of alignment.

Clara Parkes became many knitters' guiding light and best friend when she launched Knitter's Review in 2000. One of the early standouts in the early online knitting landscape, the site developed a devoted following for its in-depth, objective yarn reviews and lively forums. Several years after the site's inception, she began writing books, starting with The Knitter's Book of Yarn, which was followed by The Knitter's Book of Wool and The Knitter's Book of Socks. As she explored the yarn industry, Clara carefully maintained a journalist's independence, taking readers along with her as she learned how the yarns we love come to be. After her first three books, which were large-format, full-color, and featured a number of designs, her following works have been memoirs of her literal and metaphorical travels or in-depth narratives reporting about the yarn world. In 2012, she launched the Great White Bale, a combination small-batch yarn experiment and behind-the-scenes tour of the remaining American wool industry, for which she purchased a very special bale of wool and reported on its progress through the process of becoming yarn. In recent years, she has created several online communities: The Wool Channel, which is devoted to celebrating wool, and The Daily Respite, which offers a moment of wonder and calm each morning. Clara invites knitters and readers to join her in exploring the ways in which wool is a force for good in the world, and how crafters can join in its support.

There's a certain heaviness that comes with always second-guessing yourself, especially when the people around you make that doubt feel justified. It's not always obvious at first—sometimes it looks like staying quiet, putting others first, or brushing off your own needs. Over time, that pattern starts to feel normal, like maybe you really are the problem. But deep down, there's often a quiet part of you that knows it's not about who you are, but what you've been made to believe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b82fGz7ZRZ8 Julie Adcock is a licensed counselor and author of Unbreakable Confidence, helping people overcome self-doubt and embrace their inner strength. With over 30 years of experience, she blends therapy with spiritual insight to guide personal growth. Today, she talks about how fear, boundaries, and self-worth shape our relationships and choices. She shares tools for building confidence and turning past challenges into lessons. Her core message: believe in your value and live with bold self-respect. Stay tuned! Quotes: “Find that relationship with God. If you don't know how, talk to someone who does and find the help you need. You don't have to live this way. Life is short. We're only given one life, and you're capable of so much if you have that confidence.” “People fear taking action and making changes, especially when it comes to setting boundaries for what they will and won't accept. Setting boundaries is hard because people often don't want to respect them, and they also resist change.” “Every relationship is a negotiation. You know how you feel—you don't necessarily know how the other person feels.” Resources: Julie Adcock | Unbreakable Confidence Follow Julie Adcock on Facebook Connect with Julie Adcock on LinkedIn

For five hundred years, scientists as credible as Galileo, Copernicus, Newton, Darwin and Freud chipped away at the scientific existence of God. So, by the beginning of the 20th century, Nietzsche was able to announce the death of God. A century later, however, modern science is now resurrecting God. That, at least, is the suggestion of Michel-Yves Bollore, the co-author of Europe's latest publishing sensation, GOD The Science The Evidence. It's a post Einsteinian science, Bollore and his co-author Olivier Bonnassies contend, which has enabled this kind of scientific Easter. With endorsements from Nobel Prize winners and over 400,000 copies sold across Europe, their controversial thesis argues that seven independent lines of evidence—from thermodynamics to quantum mechanics—point toward an absolute beginning of the universe, making materialism, in their words, 'an irrational belief' in the 21st century.1. The Historical Reversal For 400+ years (Galileo to Darwin to Freud), scientific discoveries seemed to eliminate the need for God. But since 1900, Bollore argues, every major discovery points in the opposite direction—toward the necessity of a creator.2. Seven Lines of Evidence for Absolute Beginning The authors present seven independent scientific arguments (thermodynamics, universe expansion, quantum mechanics, mathematics) that the universe had an absolute beginning—which they argue requires a creator, since "from nothing, nothing can come."3. The Multiverse Dilemma Materialism's only escape is the multiverse theory, but recent discoveries (2003) show infinite series of universes are impossible. This forces materialists into increasingly complex explanations while the "God hypothesis" remains simpler.4. Fine-Tuning as Evidence The universe's parameters are so precisely calibrated (down to the 15th decimal place for expansion speed) that tiny changes would prevent existence itself—suggesting intentional design rather than chance.5. Philosophical Not Religious The book deliberately avoids religious questions (who is God, what does God want) and focuses purely on whether scientific evidence supports the existence of a creator—making it accessible across different faiths and culturesKeen On America is a reader-supported publication.

September 3 in NYC at 6 pm, I'll be in conversation with Lionel live at The Village Underground. Tix available here. Use promo code CATASTROPHE18 at checkout for a discount. Bestselling novelist and beloved (and occasionally be-hated) columnist Lionel Shriver returns to the podcast to talk about several topics, including her most recent novel, Mania. In that novel, she imagines a society under the grip of “mental parity,” a concept arguing that all individuals possess equal intelligence and no one should be given greater credence or responsibility because of the perception that they are smarter. We also discuss our own intelligence (are we really all that smart?) and wonder what makes us so resistant to groupthink in politics and daily life, especially around movements like #MeToo, Black Lives Matter, and gender ideology. In search of a lighter topic, we finally move on to . . . immigration. (Oops.) As a Los Angeles resident, I've been alarmed by the ICE raids in my community, and I'm quite upset about the Trump administration's policies. As a longtime expatriate in the U.K. and as the author of a forthcoming novel about immigration (A Better Life, coming in February 2026), Lionel sees things a little differently. GUEST BIO A prolific journalist with a fortnightly column in Britain's The Spectator, Lionel Shriver has written widely for the New York Times, the London Times, the Financial Times, Harper's Magazine, and many other publications. Her first nonfiction book, ABOMINATIONS: Selected Essays from a Career of Courting Self-destruction, was published in 2022. It joins a story collection and fifteen novels, including Mania, Should We Stay or Should We Go, The Mandibles, and We Need to Talk About Kevin (a 2011 film starring Tilda Swinton). Her work has been translated into 35 languages. Her latest novel A Better Life, focused on immigration, will be out in early 2026. UPCOMING EVENT: Once again, if you enjoyed this interview, join me in NYC on September 3 at The Village Underground for a conversation with Lionel about The Catastrophe Hour as well as her work. Topics will include (but are not limited to) death, sex, real estate, dogs, beauty, grief, aging, cancelation, incels, femcels, self-destruction, natural disasters, pronatalism, anti-natalism, human intelligence, and cultural stupidity. Doors open at 5:15, show starts at 6pm. Tix available here. Use promo code CATASTROPHE18 at checkout for a discount. HOUSEKEEPING
