You don't have a sales problem… you have a systems problem.If your business feels chaotic, inconsistent, or stuck—this episode will hit.In this conversation, Cyndi sits down with Brianna Glenn (founder of Milk + Honey & co-leader of Masters in Travel) to break down the real difference between working in your business vs. working on it, and why most advisors get it completely backwards. Here's the truth:
Hustling on the streets of New York. Wagering with a U.S. president over who could sleep with more women. Knocking back beers with Elvis. Waving his gun around at the funeral of Jay Sebring, one of the victims of Charles Manson’s murderous family. The same family that had their sights now set on the King of Cool, Steve McQueen, who needed the speed of a Mustang or the power of a Magnum to keep Charlie’s crazy cult at bay.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Send us Fan MailFeeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or burned out trying to grow your business? In this powerful Monday Morning Motivation episode, Anna Steinfest shares an important reminder for entrepreneurs and small business owners: resting is not quitting.We live in a world that glorifies nonstop hustle, constant grinding, and pushing harder every day — but what happens when exhaustion starts stealing your creativity, energy, health, and peace?This episode is for every entrepreneur who feels tired, discouraged, emotionally drained, or ready to give up. Through real talk, encouragement, and powerful storytelling, Anna shares why learning to rest may be one of the most strategic things you can do for your business and your life.Because sometimes the strongest thing you can do is pause… without quitting.
Let's talk about what we know and what we don't know about Hanta Virus as pandemic panic theatre 2.0 starts gaining momentum. Do you have reason to be worried? Why are so many democrats switching to become independents before the primaries? Because the D after their names has become toxic. Do you think DNC chair Ken Martin can keep his job - and the party viable - with only $4 million cash on hand, versus the $100+ million in the GOP's war chest? Good News reminds us that every day is Mother's Day.
In this episode we answer emails from Michael, Jim, and Optimus Bill. We start with a 67-year-old investor who is all-in on equities and cannot sleep, and how changing portfolio allocations can lead to better rest. We share a framework of "the three H's" for determining whether you are Hustling, Hoarding, or Harvesting your way through retirement, and how that may impact your well-being over time. We also dig into why people chase bond ladders and bucketeering.And THEN we our go through our weekly and monthly portfolio reviews of the eight sample portfolios you can find at Portfolios | Risk Parity Radio.Additional Links:Testfolio Analysis with Sleep-Better-At-Night Metrics: Portfolio Backtester for ETFs and Asset Allocation | testfolioOptimus Bill's Bond Ladder Extravaganza Article: Building a Bond Ladder with Individual Bonds and ETFsBen Carlson's Explanation As To Why Bond Ladders and Bond Funds are Functionally the Same: Owning Individual Bonds vs. Owning a Bond Fund - A Wealth of Common SenseBreathless Unedited AI-Bot Summary:Your portfolio should not be a nightly stress test. We start with a listener who is 67, 100% in equity funds, and staring down retirement in the next one to three years while worrying about an extended downturn. From there we get practical about “sleep-at-night” portfolio design, comparing volatility, maximum drawdown, and even the Ulcer Index across common setups like an S&P 500 heavy approach, a Bogleheads-style three-fund portfolio, a classic 60 40 mix, and a risk parity style Golden Ratio portfolio.Then we zoom out to the bigger question of what money is actually for. I share a simple framework I call the three H's: hustling, hoarding, and harvesting. We talk through how each approach affects real life outcomes like relationships, experiences, buying back your time, and giving, and why a portfolio that supports harvesting can matter more than a portfolio that simply wins a return contest.We also tackle a timely question about bond ladder ETFs and why so many ladder, bucket, and time-segmentation products keep popping up. The blunt take: a lot of it solves a fear problem more than a finance problem, and the difference between ladders and bond funds is often smaller than people think. We close with our weekly review of the eight sample portfolios, covering stocks, treasury bonds, gold, commodities, managed futures, and more.If this helped you think more clearly about retirement investing and diversified asset allocation, subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave a review so more DIY investors can find it.Support the show

[We mourn the passing of legendary sports broadcaster John Sterling with an ARCHIVE RE-RELEASE of our memorable conversation from 2019.] + + + Legendary New York Yankees baseball play-by-play man John Sterling joins host Tim Hanlon for a cavalcade of career memories from his 50+ year journey in sports broadcasting – including a treasure trove of stops along the way with previously incarnated or otherwise defunct teams (and leagues). Now celebrating his 30th consecutive season with the Bronx Bombers, Sterling's unique vocal stylings have become synonymous with some of the Yankees' most signature moments during that time – including the team's dominant run of American League and World Series championships across the late 1990s and much of the 2000s. The path to becoming one of baseball's marquee team broadcasters was far from direct, however, and we (naturally) obsess over some of Sterling's more memorable "forgotten" gigs along the way, including: Falling into radio play-by-play with the NBA Baltimore Bullets as a late fill-in for Jim Karvellas; Becoming the almost-voice of the ABA Washington Caps (until a hasty move to Virginia to become the Squires); Hustling to secure radio rights to the upstart WHA New York Raiders for Gotham's talk powerhouse WMCA - and the irony of later calling games for the NHL Islanders; The highs of the ABA New York, and lows of the NBA New Jersey Nets; "Phoning it in" for the World Football League's short-lived New York Stars; AND The ahead-of-its-time Enterprise Sports Radio Network. + + + SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Us a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/goodseatsstillavailable The "Good Seats" Store: http://tee.pub/lic/RdiDZzQeHSY SPONSOR THANKS: Old School Shirts.com (10% off promo code: GOODSEATS): https://oldschoolshirts.com/goodseats Royal Retros (10% off promo code: SEATS): https://www.503-sports.com?aff=2 FIND AND FOLLOW: Linktree: https://linktr.ee/GoodSeatsStillAvailable Web: https://goodseatsstillavailable.com/ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/goodseatsstillavailable.com X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/GoodSeatsStill YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@goodseatsstillavailable Threads: https://www.threads.net/@goodseatsstillavailable Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodseatsstillavailable/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GoodSeatsStillAvailable/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/good-seats-still-available/
What happens when you finally stop chasing—and start surrendering? In this transformative episode, Meghan Swidler shares how walking away from a life in venture capital led her into a profound awakening, forcing her to confront the truth: she was living for everyone else but herself. From toxic relationships + anxious attachment patterns to reclaiming her feminine energy and sense of self-worth. Through Meghan's inner work + coaching, she breaks down how she stopped attracting emotionally unavailable partners and created space for real, grounded love. Then comes the story that will stay with you: a solo camper van trip, complete surrender to intuition, and love that unfolds when she least expects it. Meghan reveals what healthy love actually feels like—and why it's not butterflies and chaos, but safety, and deep emotional connection. We also talk about: How to break cycles of emotionally unavailable relationships The truth about anxious attachment vs. situational anxiety Masculine vs. feminine energy in modern dating Why “ease” is the biggest green flag in relationships The power of taking a break from dating to reset your patterns How intuition leads you to aligned love (not chasing) Financial and emotional strategies for leaving a stable career Why your dream life starts when you stop living for approval Resources: Free Detox Quiz: https://meghanswidler.typeform.com/detoxphasequiz?typeform-source=linktr.ee LinkTree: https://linktr.ee/meghanswidler Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/meghanswidler/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/meghanswidler/ Substack: https://meghanswidler.substack.com/ Website: https://meghanswidler.com/ Two Books on Amazon: https://r.amzlink.to/?btn_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fstores%2FMeghan-Swidler%2Fauthor%2FB0D66SYTWX%3Fref%3Dap_rdr%26isDramIntegrated%3Dtrue%26shoppingPortalEnabled%3Dtrue&btn_ref=org-433bb393e1b8b503 The Cleanses: https://thecleanses.meghanswidler.com/ 30-Minute Consultation: https://calendly.com/meghanswidler/health-history-consultation Intro: https://intro.co/meghanswidler Order our book, Almost 30: A Definitive Guide To A Life You Love For The Next Decade and Beyond, here: https://bit.ly/Almost30Book.

This week, Pastor Ulysses continues our series through the book of Romans with a message from chapter 11. In this passage, Paul wrestles with a difficult question: has God rejected His people? As we explore his answer, we're reminded of God's faithfulness, His sovereign plan to save both Jews and Gentiles, and our call to walk in humility as recipients of His grace.
Matt and Laci dive deep into Hellraiser (1987). Matt, a long-time fan of the movie, and Laci, a first-time viewer, discuss the film's production history and the life and philosophy of its creator, Clive Barker. They explore Barker's background, including his early work in theater, his time as a male escort, and his unique perspective on integrating explicit sexuality and body horror into his work. Two prior adaptations of his work led Barker to want to take tight control of a third adaptation, which meant he would need to direct it himself. And what an incredible feat the film is for a first-time filmmaker. 1WR tells that story, including how Barker recruited his longtime friend Doug Bradley to play the iconic role of Pinhead. Then, a long breakdown of the movie itself. How does it play for a first-time viewer? How well do its practical effects hold up? Do its themes make sense? Has any movie character ever hated their spouse as much as Julia hates Larry? And is Hellraiser as scary as we assumed it would be when we saw the VHS box in the video store as children? Is anything? Finally, Pinhead himself joins us to give some sex advice. Next week (April 24, 2026): SEX MONTH concludes with Paul Verhoeven's Showgirls (1995)!

High-performance sales teams are not built by accident. They are engineered through competitive culture, relentless action, and leaders willing to develop people at a deeper level. Chris and Chad sit down with serial entrepreneur and sales powerhouse Josey Parks to unpack what it really takes to scale an elite team. Josey shares the gritty lessons behind growing a sales force from a few dozen reps to hundreds, revealing why mindset, data, and personal accountability matter more than flashy tactics. From door-knocking strategies and question-based selling to matching the right rep with the right opportunity, the discussion dives into the systems and leadership philosophies that separate top performers from the rest. This episode goes beyond scripts and sales funnels.

Matthew Martinez joins Locked In with Ian Bick to share his story of growing up after losing his mom at a young age, being raised by his dad, and finding an early passion for drawing and creativity that would later shape his life. Matthew had never been arrested until he was 23 years old, when a gun charge led to a 3.5-year sentence in New York State prison. In this episode, he talks about what it was like going from never being in trouble to doing real time, and how he used his talent for art to survive on the inside, turning drawing into a hustle behind bars. He also shares how that same skill gave him a second chance after release, ultimately becoming a tattoo artist and rebuilding his life. This is a real conversation about mistakes, adaptation, and turning a talent into a way out. _____________________________________________ #PrisonStories #PrisonHustle #PrisonLife #ExConvict #RealStories #ArtInPrison #LockedInPodcast #LifeAfterPrison _____________________________________________ Connect with Matthew Martinez: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paintedpeopleartstudio?igsh=MXcxcGRnZWZsaXRvYg== Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@paintedpeopleartstudio?_r=1&_t=ZP-95STf7ARNbb _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Gun Charge & Arrest (Full Story) 01:51 Growing Up in New York 03:38 Family Struggles, Loss & Upbringing 10:12 School Life & Early Passions 14:34 Using Art as Therapy 18:10 Life Changes & Becoming a Father 23:30 Arrest, Charges & The Case 33:40 Sentencing, Prison Time & Lessons Learned 38:43 Life in Prison: Politics & Survival 42:22 Hustling in Prison: Art & Making Money 49:23 Prison Tattoo Culture Explained 55:28 Turning Art Into Opportunity Behind Bars 01:02:20 Prison Jobs, Programs & Early Release 01:10:07 Solitary Confinement & Prison Challenges 01:18:14 Life After Prison & Rebuilding 01:26:13 Tattoo Career & Personal Growth 01:29:18 Fatherhood, Family & Giving Back 01:36:35 Final Lessons & Reflections _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome back to Truth, Lies & Work, the award-winning podcast where behavioral science meets workplace culture. This week, we are joined by special guest Dr. Jake Tuber, an organizational psychologist, executive coach, and founder of Ticon Advisory, recently named one of the Leadership Center for Excellence's 40 Under 40. In this episode, we explore the surprising power of "Londonmaxxing," why hustle culture might be a young person's game, and whether money is actually the best way to get your team to perform.
In this episode, the conversation breaks down the real difference between operating as a hustler and stepping into your role as a CEO. It's not just about strategy it's about identity. If you're constantly chasing money, overwhelmed, and stuck in reactive mode, you may still be operating from a hustler mindset.The episode highlights 7 key signs that you're still in hustle mode, from inconsistent income and lack of systems to not knowing your numbers and being the bottleneck in your business. It also walks through how to transition into CEO thinking by building systems, tracking data, structuring your time, and focusing on long-term wealth instead of quick wins.If you're ready to stop feeling overworked and start building a business that runs with structure, clarity, and scalability, this episode will show you exactly where you need to evolve.

An an entrepreneur, we love hearing people say, "man, you're a hustler." One day, we're chasing shiny objects. Credit repair. Mortgages. MLM opportunities. But at the core of the hustle is not about chasing shiny objects...... It's about chasing something that has no physical body, cannot be contained and cannot be controlled. What is it? Freedom. It's that feeling where you can choose to do something or not. Having the ability to take a vacation without having to be in the office if you choose. Making cool shit happen for people that bring you the most value in your life......friends, family, clients, employees, contractors, and your favorite charities. As you're working and building your business, make sure you are clear about the amount of hustling you're doing. Hustling can wear you out and burn you out if you're not careful. Be intentional about your hustle.

Hustle culture rewards speed, noise and constant output, then acts surprised when we introverts burn out. In this episode, I challenge the assumption that faster means better and louder means capable. I unpack how hustle destabilises our thinking and why it robs us of the strengths we are known for. This is not about avoiding hard work but about recognising when urgency becomes erosion. I talk openly about comparison, overwhelm and the subtle pressure to perform extroversion. If you have ever felt rushed into decisions, criticised for your pace or exhausted by constant demand, this conversation will help you see what is really happening and how to respond with intention. Key points Hustle is bias Thinking needs space Response is a choice #FlourishingIntroverts #IntrovertConfidence #UseYourVoice Resources Visit https://hub.flourishingintroverts.com/resourcesp for tools and resources mentioned during the podcast.

What You'll Learn What toxic productivity really is—and the subtle signs it's running your life How self-worth, perfectionism, and people-pleasing fuel burnout The difference between being busy vs. being truly productive Why boundaries alone aren't enough (and what to address first) How to shift from hustle-driven living to healthier, value-aligned productivity

In this episode, host Travis Chappell and his producer Eric unpack what big brands like Starbucks and Target are getting wrong about culture, customer experience, and “forced friendliness.” Using Eric's local Starbucks and Target's “10–4 policy” as jumping-off points, they dig into how authenticity, sleep, and sustainable effort matter far more than corporate scripts or nonstop grind. Along the way, they break down Gary Vee's “new” stance on sleep and hustle, plus how high performers actually use rest as a competitive advantage. On this episode we talk about: Why Eric's favorite Starbucks went from feeling like “Cheers” to feeling scripted once corporate required baristas to write something on every cup. How genuine, voluntary gestures from employees turn into hollow “corporate bullshit” once they're turned into a rule. Target's 10–4 policy (smile within 10 feet, warm interaction within 4 feet) and why forcing friendliness can feel awkward for both customers and staff. The difference between real culture (people who like working there) and forced culture (mandated smiles, scripted greetings, required cup messages). Gary Vee's clip about sleeping 7–10 hours, not going hard 24/7, and why that sounds like a reversal of his early “hustle” content. How high performers reconcile hustle with rest: being insanely productive when awake while protecting sleep so they can sustain output for decades. Insights from Travis's interview with The Sleep Doctor, including Steve Aoki's custom sleep schedule built around a 1 a.m. start time. Why even entertainers and entrepreneurs with “wild” schedules need intentional sleep architecture to keep going into their late 40s and beyond. The weirdness of people falling asleep to business podcasts, and what it says about how hard it is for entrepreneurs to mentally clock out. Top 3 Takeaways Authentic culture can't be scripted. If you take something organic—like baristas writing personal notes—and turn it into a corporate mandate, you strip away the sincerity that made it powerful in the first place. Forced friendliness doesn't fix deeper problems. Policies like Target's 10–4 may create momentary eye contact, but they can't compensate for broken systems, low morale, or a bad customer experience. Sustainable success requires real rest. Hustle still matters, but the people who win long term (including Gary Vee and Steve Aoki) are the ones who treat sleep as a performance tool, not a luxury. Notable Quotes “There's a difference between culture and forced culture—once you make it a rule, you kill the very thing that made it special.” “Don't put ‘going hard' on a pedestal; it's not about never sleeping, it's about being productive when you're awake and listening to your body.” “You can't perform at a high level for 15–20 years on no sleep—hustle without rest just means you hit the wall sooner.” ✖️✖️✖️✖️
Reflection is the cheat code most people skip, and it's the very thing that turns a good year into a great life. Before charging into 2026 with more goals, more pressure, and more noise, I wanted to pause, look back, and extract the lessons that actually mattered. Because progress doesn't come from moving faster, it comes from moving forward with clarity.In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I'm breaking down 25 Terrific Takeaways from 2025, all through the lens of our S.O.U.L.M.A.P.P.I.N framework, the 10 alignments that help you systematically harmonize ambition and well-being. These aren't fluffy ideas or motivational quotes. These are lived lessons. Wins, mistakes, reminders, and truths that shaped my year, and if applied intentionally, can help make 2026 your most aligned, energized, and fulfilling year yet.We start with Selfless Service, because fulfillment doesn't come from accumulation; it comes from contribution. The biggest reminder here? Service is the fastest path to meaning. Giving your time, not just your money, creates real presence, real connection, and real impact. If you want more joy, help more people. It's that simple.From there, we move into Optimized Health, because energy is the real currency of success. Hustling without health always ends in burnout. Your nervous system sets your income ceiling, recovery is a skill (not a reward), and if you don't protect your energy, no amount of productivity hacks will save you. Health isn't a side quest; it's the foundation.Next up is Digital Unplugging, where I get real about distraction, doom-scrolling, and how constant connection is quietly killing creativity. Attention is your most valuable asset, and what you focus on compounds. Creating boundaries with technology isn't about restriction; it's about freedom.When it comes to Loving Relationships, the lesson is clear: success means nothing if you're disconnected from the people you love. Presence beats presents. Dating your spouse matters. Boundaries are love in action. The moments you protect today become the memories that matter tomorrow.In Mindful Spirituality, I share how alignment starts with something bigger than you. Success without purpose feels empty. Stillness creates clarity. Gratitude rewires the brain. Faith, however you define it, provides an anchor when life gets noisy.We then dive into Abundant Financial, where money is reframed as a tool, not a scorecard. Profit creates peace. Lifestyle design beats lifestyle inflation. Generosity unlocks abundance. When money aligns with values, it becomes a vehicle for freedom rather than stress.With Personal Development, the reminder is simple but powerful: who you become determines what you build. Identity precedes behavior. Consistency beats intensity. Reflection accelerates growth. The goal isn't perfection, it's persistent alignment.Passionate Hobbies get their rightful place too, because joy isn't a distraction, it's fuel. Play makes you better at work. You need something in your life that has nothing to do with money. Fun isn't optional; it's strategic.In Impactful Work, clarity creates cash, community is the new moat, and depth beats diversification. Focus compounds. Shiny objects dilute momentum. Doing meaningful work with people you care about is the real flex.And finally, Nature Connection, the ultimate reset button. Time outdoors lowers stress, restores perspective, and reconnects you to what actually matters. Nature doesn't rush, yet everything gets done.The big takeaway? Alignment is the goal. When you align across these 10 areas, success becomes sustainable. More is the myth. Meaning is the shift. And if you build meaning into your days, 2026 won't just look good on paper, it'll feel damn good to live.Let's make this next year your most intentional, fulfilling, and aligned year yet.Keep putting the happy in your hustle.
