GRAB my free The Hustle Paradox Audit: https://linktw.in/EazKrn Ready to go from 80-hour weeks to a business that runs without you? We build the systems that make it possible. BOOK a call with us: https://linktw.in/bIlXmB In this video, I expose the biggest lie hustle culture sold us and reveal the three-stage framework that separates business owners who burn out from the ones who actually scale. 2 a.m., empty office, fourth energy drink. Revenue up 30%. Profit margins down 18%. I was working more, making less, and slowly suffocating under the weight of my own success. Here's what I discovered: The entrepreneurs I knew who were actually scaling to seven and eight figures weren't grinding like I was. They had figured out something completely different. Hustle is necessary at the start, but deadly long-term. It helps you find what works, but if you keep relying on it, you'll burn out and limit your growth. I'll walk you through the exact three-stage framework. This isn't a theory about working smarter. This is the data-driven system that shows you when to push hard and when to step back. Hustle should be a switch, not a lifestyle. Already doing $30K+/month? COME to my next free workshop where I'll show you how to systemize your business and get your time back.

Life + Business Audit: How to Create Clarity, Alignment, and Sustainable GrowthAs the year winds down, it's easy to feel reflective, overwhelmed, or unsure of what needs to change next. In this episode of The Floral CEO Podcast, Jeni walks you through a powerful life and business audit designed to help you gain clarity, reduce burnout, and intentionally shape the next chapter of your business and life.This isn't about judgment, shame, or “fixing” yourself.It's about seeing clearly, reclaiming your energy, and choosing alignment over chaos.Why a Life + Business Audit MattersYour business does not exist in a vacuum.If your life feels heavy, chaotic, or unsupported, your business will eventually reflect that.In this episode, Jeni shares why:Your business cannot “save” your lifeMoney alone doesn't fix misalignmentSustainable success starts with clarity, boundaries, and honest reflectionThis audit helps you step out of reaction mode and into intentional CEO leadership.Part 1: Where Are You Right Now?1. Energy AuditTake an honest look at where your energy is going — and where it's being drained.Rate each area on a scale of 1–10:WorkdaysClient interactionsCreative workHome lifeMental loadPhysical energyAnything consistently under a 5 deserves attention — not guilt.2. Time AuditAsk yourself:Where is my time actually going?What feels busy vs. what moves the needle?How much of my time is reactive vs. intentional?Break your time into categories:Revenue-producing workAdmin / busyworkMarketingFamily & personal lifeScrolling / numbingRest (real rest)Then ask:Is my time aligned with my priorities — or just my habits?3. Money AuditThis is where many business owners avoid looking — and where clarity is most powerful.Reflect on:What did I actually pay myself?What parts of my business are profitable?What looks “successful” but pays terribly?Where am I leaking money (including time)?Ask the big question:Am I building a business that supports my life — or one that requires sacrifice without return?Part 2: What's Not Working Anymore?4. Tolerance AuditFinish these sentences honestly:“I'm tolerating __________.”“I keep putting up with __________.”“I know this isn't working, but I haven't changed it.”What we tolerate becomes our standard.5. Alignment AuditAsk yourself:Does my business reflect who I am now — or who I used to be?If I built this business today, would I build it the same way?Is my business aligned with my values, family life, health, creativity, and nervous system?Small misalignments add up over time.6. Identity AuditShift from:“I'm trying to…”to“I am someone who…”Ask:Who have I been acting like I am?Who do I want to become?What does that version of me say yes to?What does she stop doing?Identity shifts drive behavior change.Part 3: What Needs to Change?7. Subtraction Before AdditionBefore adding anything new, ask:What can I remove?What can I simplify?What am I done tolerating?Growth doesn't always mean more — often it means less, done better.8. Focus Audit: The 3–Thing RuleChoose:3 business priorities3 life prioritiesAsk:If I focused only on these, would my life and business improve?Everything else can pause, be delegated, or simplified.9. Support AuditYou are not meant to do this alone.Ask:Where do I need support?What am I carrying that isn't mine?Who helps me think bigger?Who holds me accountable?Support might look like systems, boundaries, therapy, coaching, or community.Part 4: How Do You Move Forward?10. Micro-Momentum PlanningInstead of fixing everything, ask:What's one 15-minute change I can make this week?One boundary I can set?One system I can tighten?Small shifts create big identity changes.11. Future You Check-InAsk:What will future me thank me for changing now?What would make next year feel lighter?Your body often knows before your mind does.12. Decision Filter Going ForwardEvery opportunity should pass through:Does this align with my values?Does this support my energy?Does this move me toward my goals?Am I saying yes out of fear or intention?If it's not a clear yes, it's a no or not right now.Final ThoughtsYou are allowed to:Change your mindWant something differentBuild a business that feels good and pays you wellChoose alignment over hustleYour life matters just as much as your business.Join the Goal Planning Party

Do you ever feel like you are doing everything “right,” and your kid still seems anxious, dysregulated, or shut down? This conversation made me rethink what we have been told about parenting, work, and what kids actually need to feel safe. In this episode of Habits & Hustle, I sit down with psychoanalyst and parent guidance expert Erica Komisar to break down what kids actually need to build emotional resilience, why “quality time” alone isn't enough, and how parental presence shapes brain development, stress tolerance, and long-term mental health. We talk about how stress shows up as fighting, avoidance, and attention issues, why transitions like mornings and after school are when kids need you most, and how overscheduling can become a quiet form of avoidance. She also explains why social media is a pressure amplifier, not the root cause, and what it takes to build real resilience before life gets hard. Erica Komisar, LCSW, is a psychoanalyst and parent guidance expert with nearly four decades of clinical experience. She is the author of Being There and Chicken Little, the Sky Isn't Falling. What We Discuss: (00:00) Why Kids Are Struggling More Than Ever (08:42) The Myth Of “Quality Time” (18:15) What Early Brain Development Actually Needs (29:40) Why Overscheduling And Helicopter Parenting Backfire (41:10) The Real Roots Of Anxiety And ADHD (53:05) Why Social Media Isn't The Original Problem (01:05:30) What Adolescents Need From Parents (01:18:50) The Hard Truth About Work, Parenting, And Priorities Thank you to our sponsors: Therasage: Head over to therasage.com and use code Be Bold for 15% off Air Doctor: Go to airdoctorpro.com and use promo code HUSTLE40 for up to $300 off and a 3-year warranty on air purifiers.

If your inbox has been painfully quiet and you are wondering what you are doing wrong, this episode is your wake up call in the best possible way.

Ben shares how inconsistent portfolios, slow response times, and lack of visibility quietly sabotage bookings, even for incredibly talented creatives. From responding to inquiries within minutes, to building real human connection early, to showing up online more than feels comfortable, this episode breaks down the practical systems that move the needle fast. Ben also opens up about his own journey through scaling a photography business, setting boundaries, using AI and automation responsibly, and rebuilding a business that supports real life and family priorities. If you're tired of second-guessing your marketing, spinning your wheels, or wondering why your efforts aren't converting, this conversation is for you.

I walked away from a seven-figure deal—and it changed everything.In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I'm resharing my interview on The InPowered Life Podcast with my friend Rudi Riekstins and it's one of those conversations that cuts straight to the truth about success, fulfillment, and alignment.We dive into the pivotal moment when I chose to walk away from a seven-figure tech opportunity after realizing that external achievement without internal alignment leads to burnout and emptiness. On paper, everything looked like a win—but internally, something felt off. That decision became a major turning point in my life and ultimately led me down the path that shaped the Happy Hustle philosophy.In this conversation, I share how living abroad in Thailand, stepping away from the grind, and reconnecting with purpose, service, and community helped me redefine what success actually means. We also unpack my S.O.U.L.M.A.P.P.I.N framework—a practical tool designed to assess alignment across the most important areas of life, including health, relationships, service, and meaningful work. This framework has helped thousands of people identify blind spots, create intentional habits, and build lives that feel successful from the inside out.Rudi and I also explore why gratitude is a powerful antidote to the endless pursuit of “more,” how selfless service creates deeper fulfillment, and why community and masterminds are essential for sustainable personal growth. This episode is especially for anyone who feels burned out, boxed in by traditional definitions of success, or quietly wondering, Is this really it?If you've been questioning the old definition of success or feel called to build a life that actually feels good—not just looks good—this episode is a must-listen.Listen to the full episode here: caryjack.com/podcastin

As the lights dim… After the music hits… and as the words “You can't see me” echo one last time—there's a story that deserves to be told. This is the story of John Cena: a man who carried the weight of an industry on his shoulders, redefined what it meant to be a champion, and showed the world that hustle, loyalty, and respect were more than catchphrases—they were a way of life. Loved by some, questioned by others, but undeniable to all, Cena didn't just win championships… he changed the game. From unforgettable rivalries and iconic moments to the impact felt far beyond the ring, tonight we honor a legacy built on perseverance, sacrifice, and an unshakable belief in earning every single moment. This isn't just a look back at titles and triumphs. This is a celebration of an era. This is the legacy of John Cena. Today on Turnbuckle Talk we honor the legacy of the G.O.A.T John Cena.

Hustle can create momentum—but without a plan, it rarely creates sustainability.As the year wraps up, many agents default to the same strategy: do more. More calls. More content. More effort. But “doing more” without clarity isn't a plan—it's a fast track to burnout and frustration.In this episode of Life at Ten Tenths, Matt and Garrett break down what actually creates results in a real estate business that lasts. They explore why vague goals and generic plans fall apart, how structure can reduce pressure instead of adding it, and why clarity around actions, standards, and alignment is the real driver of growth.You'll hear practical examples, relatable analogies, and simple ways to regain momentum—even if you're short on time or feeling behind. Whether you already have a plan or haven't started yet, this conversation will help you refocus on what matters most and take meaningful action right now.This episode is about building a business plan that works with your life, not against it—and creating results you can actually sustain.

The discussion goes beyond track-by-track analysis and into who GameOver is as a man, an MC, and a representative of New Jersey hip hop.We explore his chemistry with producers SpeedBaby and Buckroll, the trust he builds with collaborators, and how features with Sauce Walka, Hardluck, Animal, King Flo, Peezy, Pressure Online, Peso Peso, and Boup Banger came together behind the scenes.The team also digs into G.O.'s inspirations, his vision for the future, the realities of being an independent artist, and the life experiences that shaped the bars on his upcoming album. This is G.O. at his most honest — sharp, introspective, Jersey to the core.

Episode 302 is a grounded and necessary conversation about the unseen cost of entrepreneurship. After nearly 200 interviews with founders, leaders, and high performers, a clear pattern has emerged: burnout, health scares, and identity collapse are no longer edge cases, they're becoming normal. This episode explores how the current culture of nonstop pressure and hustle is quietly breaking people, and why so many entrepreneurs feel unable to slow down even when the warning signs are impossible to ignore.In this episode, Kelly sits down with Maureen Codispodi to talk honestly about burnout, mental health, and what sustainable success actually looks like. The conversation challenges the idea that pushing harder is always the answer, unpacking how to recognize limits, rebuild balance, and redefine ambition in a way that protects both the business and the person behind it. This episode is for anyone who wants to keep building without sacrificing their health, relationships, or sense of self along the way.Key Takeaways:1. Burnout is not a personal failure, it's often a predictable outcome of building without boundaries.2. If your body is sending signals you can't ignore, that's not inconvenience, it's information.3. Hustle culture makes overwork feel normal, but normal doesn't mean healthy or sustainable.4. The cost of success should never be your health, your family, or your sense of self.5. Your business can grow faster than your capacity, and that gap is where burnout begins.6. Rest is not a reward you earn after the work is done, it's a requirement to keep doing the work well.7. If you can't slow down without feeling guilty, that's a warning sign that needs attention.8. You need systems that protect you, not just strategies that push you.9. Real resilience isn't enduring more, it's learning when to pause, adjust, and ask for support.10. Sustainable entrepreneurship is built on consistency over intensity, and long game thinking over short term adrenaline.Links referenced in this episode:helpclinic.caIf Episode 302 hit you in the chest, it's because you can feel it too. This isn't just another episode, it's a signal that something needs to change. Episode 300 marked the start of the next phase, and 2026 is our year.

This episode is part of The Best of Habits & Hustle, a series where I revisit some of the most impactful conversations we've shared. In this one, I sit down with Dr. Mary Claire Haver to break down what's happening during perimenopause and menopause and why so many women are left confused and guessing. We get into why estrogen matters far beyond hot flashes, how muscle loss and belly fat accelerate in midlife, and why strength training becomes non-negotiable as women age. She cuts through the fear and misinformation around hormone therapy, who it's really for, and why women deserve better conversations with their doctors.She also shares a no-BS take on testosterone for women, GLP-1 medications, and why there are no shortcuts if you want to protect muscle, metabolism, and long-term health.

Today, i'd like t revisit one f my favorite Rants: FUN. This is one is straight from the gut, and now that the year is coming to a close, I think it's important to never forget that word. I'm talking about the one word we stopped protecting in adulthood: Fun. Hustle got me here, but rigidity stole the joy. This episode is a reminder to simplify life, drop the comparison game, and inject energy, laughter, and play back into the way we live, lead, and build.Key Highlights:- Fun is a leadership and life superpower- We've over-leveraged everything except joy- Success without laughter is just exhaustion- Kids know the truth- Hustle needs balance or it burns the whole thing down- Loosen up, shake it up, live your life bigger than the metricsHope you got something from this. If you're feeling stuck, tired, or too rigid, just remember: life is a ride, and the ride is the reward. Keep hustling—but don't forget to laugh while you do it.
What if the hustle that's wearing you out is actually how you learned to matter? In this final part of my three-part conversation with my friend Jalon, we get honest about why slowing down can feel so threatening. For those of us who weren't seen for who we were, doing became the way we proved we deserved to exist. I share about the moment I stopped blaming my body for breaking down and started thanking it. My body didn't betray me. It was the only thing that could get my attention. I was the kind of person who needed those health issues because otherwise I would never have listened. Jalon and I use the car running out of gas analogy to talk about what it looks like to actually listen before you're stranded on the side of the road. Spoiler: it's not about listening perfectly. It's about catching the warning light a little sooner next time. In this episode you'll hear more about: Why hustle feels like safety: For those of us who weren't seen authentically, we created ways to matter through doing. The more you carry, the less you sleep, the more you prove you're worth keeping around. When your body quits before you do: Thousands of patients I've worked with have bodies that got sick as the only way to make them slow down. And they still don't see it. They just hate their bodies more. Taking full responsibility changed everything: I stopped feeling betrayed by my body and realized I was exactly the kind of person who needed those health issues. Otherwise I would've just found more caffeine, more exercise, more emotional eating. The gas tank analogy for listening to your body: Why do we see the fuel light and try to gauge how much further we can push? What if we just stopped at the next exit instead of ending up stranded? Balance was all I wanted: I didn't want the go-stop pattern anymore. I just wanted to know I'd get to my destination without wondering if I'd make it. Hustle isn't a discipline problem. It's often how we learned to matter. And now we get to reprogram that.
This week on The CJ Moneyway Sh$w, CJ sits down with Luisa Anderson — paralegal, podcaster, and co-creator of Flying Upstream — to talk about what it truly means to build a business and a life from the soul. Luisa's journey reads like a novel of transformation. From growing up in a Dominican-American household marked by early challenges and expectations, to chasing the “American dream” of titles, comfort, and control — she realized something deeper was calling. Her awakening came not through achievement, but through surrender. From paralegal precision and newsroom storytelling at KVAL-TV and KWVA radio to spiritual retreats and soul-led entrepreneurship, Luisa now helps others build “aligned empires” that heal as they grow. In this episode, you'll learn: What happens when you stop chasing success and start embodying purpose How spiritual awakenings can rewrite your business blueprint The lessons behind Luisa's transition from law and media to holistic leadership How Flying Upstream became a voice for visionaries and healers Why “messy” stories are often the most magnetic “I stopped trying to fit into a system — and started building my own flow.” — Luisa Anderson Listen now → https://pod.link/1707761906 Watch on YouTube → https://youtube.com/@themoneywayshow8493 Moneyway Merch → https://c.jmoneyway.com Brick-by-Brick Newsletter → https://substack.com/@cjmoneyway?r=3vvrmy&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=profile #TheCJMoneywaySh$w #LuisaAnderson #FlyingUpstream #SoulOverHustle #FaithBasedBusiness #MindsetShift #WomenInBusiness #BleavNetwork Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Wil peaks with Enga Stanfield, co-owner of multiple Mattenga's Pizzeria in San Antonio and Head of Community at Owner.com. Enga, an Iranian-born former engineer with no prior restaurant experience, shares how she and her husband Matt transitioned from engineering to restaurant ownership in 2014 by purchasing a struggling pizzeria, initially losing significant money due to inexperience. Through relentless grassroots marketing, obsessive cost control, data-driven location selection, and frugal self-funded growth, they turned the business around, expanded to multiple locations, achieved consistent strong sales growth, and built a profitable family-oriented operation that prioritizes community giving, strong systems, and work-life balance while preparing for potential franchising.10 Takeaways No experience required, but commitment is essential: Enga and Matt had zero restaurant or business background yet succeeded through sheer passion, grit, and a willingness to learn from expensive mistakes. Obscurity is the biggest enemy: The real problem isn't perfect recipes or discounts, it's getting known. Aggressive, consistent marketing (guerrilla tactics, drop-offs, parades, costumes) is the owner's primary job. Babysit numbers, not people: Obsess over P&L, labor percentages, food costs, and sales forecasting—small percentage improvements on large volumes create massive profit impact. Hustle beats excuses: External factors (bad location, competition like Chick-fil-A) are irrelevant; successful owners take full responsibility and aggressively pursue customers. Give to receive: Donating hundreds of pizzas monthly, supporting schools with spirit nights, and community involvement builds loyalty and drives long-term growth. Location math matters: Use free tools like USPS Every Door Direct Mail to analyze household density, income levels, and demographics to ensure a site can support target sales and profit margins. Break growth into simple math: Reverse-engineer sales goals into daily orders needed, then create targeted marketing plans to acquire and retain those customers. Build systems and people, not just rockstars: Strong operational systems and deliberate team development allow scalability. Doing $15/hour tasks yourself prevents building a real business. Negotiate everything: Leases, vendor prices, contracts: always ask, build in exit protections, and never sign desperate deals. Walking away power is crucial. Profitability enables generosity: Running a tight, systematic, profitable operation allows you to pay people well, give back to the community, and maintain a thriving family life.
What if success didn’t have to cost your happiness? In this episode of The InPowered Life Podcast, hosts Rudi & Aniston Riekstins welcome Cary Jack—lifestyle entrepreneur, host of The Happy Hustle Podcast, and founder of The Happy Hustle—for a powerful conversation about redefining success on your own terms. Cary shares the pivotal moment when he walked away from a seven-figure tech deal, realizing that external achievement without internal alignment leads to burnout and emptiness. From living abroad in Thailand to building a life rooted in purpose, service, and community, Cary introduces his “Happy Hustle” philosophy—a way of pursuing ambition without sacrificing well-being. You’ll also be introduced to Cary’s Soul Mapping framework, a practical tool designed to help you assess alignment across the most important areas of life, including health, relationships, service, and meaningful work. Together, Rudi and Cary explore how gratitude, intentional habits, and authentic connection create a life that feels truly successful—inside and out. This episode is a must-listen for anyone questioning traditional success, navigating burnout, or seeking fulfillment beyond money and status.
Key Takeaways:Reframe goals as guides, not judgments. Traditional output-focused goals can create pressure and burnout; goals should inform your direction, not define your worth or success.Wrap up the year holistically. Reflect on wins, surprises, and growth beyond numeric targets, release what no longer serves you, and recognize internal and relational progress as real achievements.Make goals human-centered, not just metric-centered. Reframing SMART goals to be Supportive, Meaningful, Aligned, Relational, and Tension-free ensures they strengthen trust, connection, and values alongside traditional metrics.Measure relationships, not just money. Track trust, reciprocity, affinity, consistency, and advocacy to prioritize connection and mission impact, understanding that financial outcomes naturally follow strong relational foundations. “Goals aren't good or bad. They are just what they are. They are information.” “If we're only measuring our worth by input and output, we're really missing a lot on what we're doing and the progress that we're making.” "Work can be joyful. Grace, ease, joy is sustainable. Hustle and grind is not.”- Maryanne Dersch Let's Work Together to Amplify Your Leadership + Influence1.

As the year comes to a close, it's natural to start dreaming about what's next. But for many florists, 2025 didn't feel expansive or inspiring — it felt like survival.In this episode, Jen dives into what it really means to move from surviving to thriving in 2026. Not through hustle, burnout, or “new year, new me” energy — but through intention, reflection, boundaries, and strategic decisions that support both your life and your business.If you've felt exhausted, reactive, underpaid, creatively drained, or stuck in constant overwhelm, this episode is for you.In This Episode, We Cover:Why survival mode isn't failure — and why so many florists normalize burnoutThe physical, emotional, and creative cost of staying in survival too longHow margin (in time, money, and energy) completely changes your nervous systemWhy being “busy” isn't a badge of honor — and what it's actually costing youThe connection between your personal life and business growthHow thriving starts with alignment, not doing moreThe 5-Step Shift from Surviving to Thriving in 2026Acknowledge Survival Without ShameSurvival mode is a response — not a personal failure. Many florists are surviving because they're caregiving, rebuilding, healing, or simply carrying too much. Honor what got you here — and allow yourself to want more.Identify What's Keeping You StuckLow-margin work, undercharging, saying yes out of fear, lack of systems, inconsistent pay, and constant reactivity all keep you trapped. You can't change what you won't name.Redefine What Thriving Means to YouThriving isn't nonstop work or booking everything. It's calm, predictable income, creative joy, clear boundaries, support, and a business that gives back to your life — not one that drains it.Make Small, Strategic ShiftsThis isn't about burning everything down. Simplify your offers. Raise prices intentionally. Build planner relationships. Create systems. Focus on micro momentum — small actions that compound into real change.Decide That 2026 Will Be DifferentA new year doesn't create change — decisions do. Thriving requires intention, structure, and support. You don't have to do it alone, but you do have to choose it.Reflection Questions to Sit With:What parts of my business drain me the most?What actually makes me the most money?Where am I over-giving or saying yes out of fear?What am I no longer willing to tolerate in 2026?What would thriving feel like — not just look like?Want Support Creating a Different 2026?Jen is hosting a Goal Planning Party on January 5th at 1:00 PM CST, where you'll:Reflect on what worked (and didn't) in 2025Clarify what stays, what goes, and what gets simplifiedDesign goals that support your life and your businessConnect with other florists who are ready to grow with intentionYou'll receive a guided goal-planning worksheet and live support to help you start the year grounded and clear — not reactive and overwhelmed.
What if the reason God feels silent… isn't because you're not praying hard enough, but because He's inviting you to stop striving? In this episode, I unpack what fervent prayer actually means — and why it has far less to do with intensity, volume, or emotional force than we've been taught. True fervency isn't spiritual hustle. It's submission. I talk about how real fervent prayer aligns us with God's will rather than trying to bend His hand, and how that alignment often brings peace long before it brings answers. This kind of prayer doesn't always change the situation right away, but it does change our posture, our discernment, and our trust. I also share a grounded, Scripture-rooted framework for practicing fervent prayer in everyday life — especially in seasons when God feels quiet, direction feels unclear, or you're tempted to push harder instead of listen deeper. If you're a Christian author, writer, or message-carrier who feels worn down from trying to "make things happen" in your calling, your book sales, or your income, this episode is an invitation to pause, realign, and return to the heart posture God responds to. Because God is not moved by our hustle. He responds to a surrendered heart.
If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, unmotivated, or like you just cannot seem to move the needle forward right now, this episode is your sign. Evie and Lindsey deliver a short, powerful entrepreneur pep talk filled with tough love, honest encouragement, and practical reminders for those seasons when business and life feel heavy. They talk about why slow progress is still real progress, why asking for help is a strength not a failure, and why comparison, especially on social media, will rob you of joy faster than anything else. The girls reframe failure as proof that you are trying, remind you that someone else's win does not equal your loss, and encourage you to stop letting fear, procrastination, or overwhelm keep you frozen. You'll also hear a simple but game changing productivity mindset shift using the five minute rule to help you push past resistance and finally start the task you've been avoiding. This episode is part encouragement, part reality check, and part loving nudge to get honest about what you want your life and business to feel like, and then take responsibility for making the shift. If you needed a reminder that you are capable, not behind, and not alone, this one is for you.

As the world slows down in the quiet space between years, Chanie invites school leaders into a powerful reflection:What did this year build in you?Not what you accomplished…Not what you finished…Not what you checked off the list…But what was formed within you as a leader navigating exhaustion, momentum, setbacks, breakthroughs, culture challenges, enrollment pressures, financial strain, team transition, and the very real humanity of leadership.In this deeply personal episode, Chanie shares her own journey through 2025 — a year that stretched her capacity, reshaped her identity as a leader, and forced her to develop new rhythms of discernment, emotional regulation, faith, marriage, health, and operational leadership.And while the details are her own, the themes are universal for school leaders:The invisible weight you carryThe pressure to remember everythingThe instinct to manage every outcomeThe exhaustion of holding everyone's emotionsThe desire for relief without guiltThe dance of relationshipsThe need for rhythms, not more systemsThis episode is a mirror, reflecting back the capacity you've built this year, often without even noticing.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeThe Leadership Lessons Inside a Full Year of StretchWhy capacity is built in friction, stretch, and tension — not in easeHow slowing down becomes a leadership strategy, not a setbackThe hidden emotional labor behind writing This Can't Be NormalWhat the Five Gears framework revealed about school operations and leadershipWhy memory can't be your leadership system — and how rhythms carry what your brain shouldn'tHow marriage, teams, and leadership all share the same “choreography” of conflictWhat it means to return — and why trust is built in the returnHow faith, steadiness, and presence become leadership anchorsThe power of “living the question” instead of rushing toward clarityWhy you're not behind — you're in a season that's building youKey Insights for School Leaders1.

As we head into the Christmas holidays, we're bringing back a throwback episode that feels especially relevant this time of year. When we hear the word hustle, we often think of working hard, making sacrifices, being resilient and staying determined. While these qualities can help us reach important milestones, pushing them too far can come at a cost. In this episode, we unpack why people feel the need to hustle, exploring both internal and external pressures, and discuss when it's important to slow down, reset and step back, especially during the holiday season. We wish you a safe, restful and joyful Christmas break spent doing more of what fills your cup. https://www.instagram.com/sharellegrant https://www.instagram.com/daniantonellos

How do you rebuild your life when everyone thinks they already know your story? How do you stay sharp and influential when every move you make is judged and dissected? In this episode of Habits & Hustle, I sit down with Jordan Belfort, the real-life inspiration behind Martin Scorsese's acclaimed film The Wolf of Wall Street based on his bestselling autobiography. We get into the mindset behind high-stakes decisions, the psychology of influence, and how he built a system that turns underdogs into top performers. Jordan talks about rebuilding credibility, the habits that keep him steady now, and what extreme pressure taught him about discipline. He breaks down what persuasive leaders actually do differently and why charisma alone never gets you there. If you want a sharper understanding of communication, conviction, and reinvention, this one will land. Jordan Belfort is an entrepreneur, bestselling author, global sales trainer, and creator of the Straight Line System. After rising fast, falling hard, and rebuilding his life from the ground up, he has become one of the most recognizable thinkers in sales psychology, persuasion, and personal reinvention today.

With a terrific new movie called Song Sung Blue opening on Christmas day, writer-director Craig Brewer adds another bull's-eye to his filmography, which includes Hustle and Flow, the remake of Footloose, and Eddie Murphy's Dolemite is My Name. Although completely self-taught, he had a great mentor in the late John Singleton and an ability to glean the best lessons to be derived from reading all the film-related books he could while punching a clock at Barnes and Noble.
This epsiode is brought ot you by Quickbooks, Audible and Caldera Lab. What if the most important financial decision you ever make has nothing to do with investing, real estate, or your career—but who you choose as your partner? In this powerful episode of Ever Forward Radio, Chase sits down with attorney, financial expert, and author Pattie Ehsaie for a no-nonsense conversation about money, power, relationships, and financial independence—especially for women. Pattie breaks down why "never falling in love with potential" isn't cold, it's practical; why money remains the number one cause of relationship failure; and how financial independence is not about greed, but freedom. Drawing from her own journey as an immigrant, lawyer, and self-made financial authority, Pattie shares hard truths about hustle, mindset, modern dating dynamics, the "lonely male epidemic," stealth wealth, prenups, and why owning your financial future is the ultimate form of personal sovereignty.
