Podcasts about Hustling

“With always wanting to do the right things, take care of people, and people please, this set me up perfectly to be an all-in member. Doing the formula. Hustling! I was married in the temple to a returned missionary, had 4 children, and did everything I could to be a good, righteous LDS woman,” explains Lindsie Cornia. Those lines might be the beginning of a million stories in our church, but if there's one thing to be learned from ALSSI, it's that every woman's path is unique and evolving. So what happened next? In Episode 238, Susan and Cynthia have a conversation with Lindsie about all of it: where she started, where she's been, how it's going, what she knows—or doesn't—and how she looks at things now.

Former Boston mobster Vincent Gigi Marino opens up about his life inside organized crime. Growing up in Boston, Gigi shares how his upbringing and family life led him down the wrong path and into a world of stick-ups, bank robberies, and the streets. He details his time in state prison, and what it was really like to spend decades inside the federal prison system surrounded by some of the most notorious criminals in America. This is an inside look at mob life, survival behind bars, and the lessons Gigi learned after years of living in the shadows. #MobStories #BostonMob #OrganizedCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #MafiaStories #PrisonTalk #BankRobbery #crimelife Thank you to BLUCHEW & PRIZEPICKS for sponsoring this episode: BlueChew: Visit https://bluechew.com/ and use promo code LOCKEDIN at checkout to get your first month of BlueChew FREE & pay five bucks for shipping.

Jayson “Rame” Albertorio grew up in the tough neighborhoods of New York City, where he joined the Crips at a young age. His teenage years were spent bouncing between juvenile detention, Rikers Island, and New York state prison. After his release, Rame tried to turn his life around—but when he fled probation and moved to Los Angeles, things took another dark turn.

This is a fan fav episode. Being trilingual is considered to be rather prestigious. Speaking other languages expands your ability to communicate so greatly it adds to the perceived value people will assign to you. But, when you are fluent in Street, Hustling, Broke Money, and Wall Street it becomes the twist no one ever expected. Wallstreet Trapper comes from a troubled past that includes being homeless at 14 and serving 10 years in prison by the age of 16. What he has learned over the years reaches far beyond knowing how to trade stocks and build wealth. His super power is speaking Wall Street in a language that correlates to the same losing game he played on the streets that ended with being shot, in jail or in prison for nearly everyone he knew. His wisdom and willingness to share and make an impact is affecting future generations and bringing Wall Street to the hood, proving that human potential is truly nearly limitless when you put knowledge to use.

Winning the Latina 40 Under 40 award was such a surreal experience, especially when it finally clicked that I had manifested winning this award years ago! This is one of the coolest things I've manifested that I've never shared on the podcast before, so we're going to talk about it today!    This award didn't just fall out of thin air for me. I worked hard to build up my business and my community so that I could be ready to be recognized for the work I was doing. And yes, the universe conspired in ways I had no idea were possible, and for that I am extremely grateful. And, with some aligned action and a healthy amount of manifestation, my wish became my reality.    In this week's episode, I'm going to share the story of how I was nominated for and won the 40 Under 40 and how you can use my manifestation method, too! I use the Magnetic Method framework all the time, and it has brought me so many new and incredible opportunities. And right now, the doors to the Magnetic Mastermind are open, so you have the opportunity to learn more about this method and how my coaching can help you manifest your most amazing life!  Follow Erika on: Instagram @‌theerikacruzTikTok @‌theerikacruzLinkedIn Website: http://www.theerikacruz.com How to work with Erika: Book a consultation call for the Magnetic Mastermind here!

What really goes into turning a story idea into a published book?

Travis and his producer, Eric, get honest about what “hustle” actually means and how its value changes depending on season, personality, and your real goals. Drawing on their own business journeys—as well as lessons from voices like Gary Vee, Dave Ramsey, and Alex Hormozi—they dig into the difference between productive sprints, burnout, and building self-awareness around effort, outcomes, and work-life fit. On this episode we talk about: The myth and reality of hustle culture for entrepreneurs and freelancers Why some seasons demand all-out work—and others call for balance (or a pivot) Setting sprints, tracking your time, and focusing on outcomes, not just hours How to know if your work is strategic hustle or just “busyness” Personal stories of burnout, pivoting, and coming back stronger Top 3 Takeaways 1.  “Hustle” is most powerful when it's temporary and goal-driven—set clear sprints and reassess outcomes.2.  There's no one-size-fits-all: personality, life stage, and values should guide your effort and expectations.3.  Track your time and audit your focus—real growth comes from high-leverage work, not just putting in hours. Notable Quotes “Life demands different seasons—sometimes you have to hustle, sometimes you need rest, and both are okay.” “Extraordinary results require extraordinary effort—but only effort on what actually moves you forward.” “Don't just show up. Do the work that actually produces results, then reevaluate and adapt.” ✖️✖️✖️✖️

Are you grinding yourself into burnout while calling it “success”?This episode is for every high achiever who looks like they're winning on the outside but feels empty inside.We dig deep into:Romans 12:2 and what “renewing your mind” really meansHow past experiences and trauma shape beliefs that quietly sabotage fitness, faith, and business goalsWhy rest is not laziness—it's the fuel for sustainable growthPractical ways to break free from overwork, perfectionism, and the “always on” hustle cultureThe hidden link between mental health, physical fitness, and spiritual transformationWhether you're chasing PRs in the gym, scaling a business, or rebuilding your life after a hard season, you'll discover how to:✅ Shift your mindset to break generational patterns✅ Use fitness as a tool for healing instead of punishment✅ Find real peace and purpose through faith-driven habitsThis isn't just talk—it's a step-by-step framework to help you renew your mind, reclaim your energy, and transform your body and spirit without guilt or shame.

Ever feel like you're trying to juggle it all—growing a business, being present with your family, staying healthy, and somehow keeping your sanity intact? In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I sit down with Jason Bronstad, CEO of Malk Organics, to talk about sustainable business growth, intentional living, and why self-love and family must come first. Jason's story is real, raw, and full of wisdom for anyone navigating the tightrope between ambition and intentional living.Jason has led Malk Organics through incredible growth—scaling from just over 1,200 stores to more than 15,000 nationwide. But his journey isn't just about impressive numbers. It's about hitting rock bottom, finding self-love, and redefining success through family, health, and community. He's not just building a sustainable company; he's building a sustainable life. And that's why his message matters—because it reminds us that Happy Hutslin' is possible when your values align with your vision.Some of the biggest takeaways from our conversation? First, Jason reminds us that family should always come before business. It's easy to get lost in work, but at the end of the day, it's your loved ones who matter most. Second, he talks about the power of intentionality—not just in how you run your business, but in how you live your life. Third, Jason shares his personal journey of overcoming rock bottom moments and finding self-love, a powerful reminder that success starts on the inside. We also dive into lessons on raising capital with clarity, building a culture that celebrates individual dreams, and keeping your team focused and accountable. And maybe my favorite nugget—Jason believes you can have fun doing hard work. Hustling doesn't have to mean misery.This episode is packed with practical wisdom and heartfelt insights on entrepreneurship, leadership, and life. If you've ever wondered how to balance building something great without sacrificing what matters most, this one's for you. -In this episode, we cover: -Balancing Family and Entrepreneurship -The Importance of Intentional Planning -Overcoming Misconceptions in Professional Identity -The Journey to Self-Love and Acceptance -Navigating Rock Bottom and Seeking Help -The Weight of Masculinity and Emotional Health -The Entrepreneurial Journey of Malk Organics -Leadership and Team Dynamics -Capital Growth and Future Vision -Transitioning Leadership and Investor Relations -The Complexities of Raising Capital -Understanding Proof Points for Success -Building a Sustainable Company -The Long Game in Business Decisions -Aligning Personal Values with Business Goals -Cultivating Company Culture through Dreams -Celebrating Wins and Building CommunityWhat does Happy Hustlin mean to you? Jason says it means going to find that thing that lights you up from the inside, where you actually can go inspire others to go live a good life.

Send us a textIn a world that glorifies grinding, "Healing Before Hustling" is our reminder that taking care of ourselves isn't a luxury — it's the foundation for everything we want to build. This podcast is for every woman, mother, and dreamer who feels the pressure to “keep going” even when our bodies, minds, and souls are screaming for rest.We also say — don't get into the trap of influencers flaunting their slim tummies just weeks after delivery and pushing products they want new mothers to buy. Our healing is not a marketing campaign.Each episode explores practical ways to slow down, nurture our emotional and physical health, and create space for true alignment — so our hustle becomes more powerful, intentional, and sustainable. Together, we'll talk about self-care that goes beyond spa days, mental health that feels doable, and the deep, sometimes messy work of healing — so we can rise, thrive, and hustle from a place of wholeness.Request all of you to listen to this show and share your views or if you have any topics or any thoughts about my podcast write to me at somathakur@gmail.com and follow me on Instagram @somathakur.mothercoach for more updates. Support the showSoma ThakurMotherhood Coach, Lifestyle Educator & Mentorwww.somathakur.com

You're probably grinding it out for pennies on the dollar while watching other coaches land those big-ticket clients. Iddo was EXACTLY where you are right now. Undercharging. Overdelivering. Hustling his ass off just to scrape together enough clients to pay the bills. But then something clicked. Iddo made ONE simple shift that changed his entire business overnight. He stopped playing small. He packaged his expertise into a high-ticket program. And he started charging what he was actually worth - $5K+ per client. The result? Everything transformed. His confidence skyrocketed. His clients started getting BETTER results. And his business finally became predictable and profitable. In this raw, unfiltered 34-minute conversation, Iddo pulls back the curtain on EXACTLY how he did it: ✅ The mindset breakthrough that shattered his scarcity thinking forever ✅ Why charging premium prices actually made his clients MORE successful ✅ How he conquered the fear and self-doubt that was keeping him stuck   ✅ The exact system he uses to attract dream clients on autopilot ✅ His no-BS advice for coaches still trapped in the "time-for-dollars" hamster wheel If you've been telling yourself that high-ticket coaching "isn't for you" or that your clients "can't afford it," Iddo's story is going to destroy every limiting belief you have. This is proof of what happens when you stop playing it safe and start building the business you actually deserve.

Urgency is the sneaky thief that convinces high-achievers they're productive while quietly stealing their joy, energy, and the luxury of truly living.   Corinne Morahan is joined by her friend and COO of her company, Briggs Rolfsrud, for a conversation about how urgency creeps into our lives and disrupts our ability to feel successful, present, and fulfilled. They discuss why high-achieving women often fall into a relentless cycle of “getting things done,” even when they have the resources to delegate and create ease. Corinne shares how this constant urgency becomes a default setting for many of her clients, while Briggs brings her perspective on why learning to turn urgency on and off is essential for a life that feels both productive and joyful.   Together, they unpack how external pressures to achieve often morph into self-imposed expectations that no longer serve us. Through stories about missing meaningful family moments and ignoring life's simplest joys, Corinne and Briggs reveal how urgency robs us of deeper impact, thoughtful work, and true satisfaction. The conversation leads to a redefinition of luxury, not as material flexes, but as the freedom to choose how we spend our time and energy. With strategies to help listeners break free from urgency, this episode is a must-listen for anyone ready to reclaim their life, realign their priorities, and experience success on their own terms.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Welcoming Briggs Rolfsrud 01:01 The Hidden Cost of Urgency 02:17 Briggs on Finding Balance with Urgency 06:06 Why Outsourcing Doesn't Solve the Urgency Trap 10:10 Building Self-Trust to Release Urgency 12:02 How Urgency Diminishes Impact and Quality 14:30 Redefining Success Beyond Constant Productivity 21:16 What It Really Means to Live a Luxury Life 23:06 Actionable Steps to Break Free from Urgency 27:22 Invitation to the Glam Life Experience   Links If you're ready to make bold moves, join me in the Glam Life Experience starting TODAY!

Isn't it crazy how when you least expect it, you can be exposed to something that radically changes your life?   At the end of December, I was in a season of burnout, holiday overwhelm, and health scares... and then in January, I went to Austin, Texas, for work, and it changed everything.   Today I am talking about how what I thought was going to be a normal "business trip" actually changed my mental health, physical health and way I manage my entire life.   This one act of obedience in my life has powerfully changed me for the better this year, and I believe what I experienced is the thing everyone needs for a better life.

What if your digestive issues and weight gain aren't just about food—but about how you feel about yourself? In this episode, I talk with Anke Johnson (Visionary Endotype), founder of Forward and Up Wellness. Anke is a functional nutritionist and intuitive coach who works with women ages 35–80 to finally get answers when doctors just say, “You're fine.” We go deep into the connection between physical symptoms and emotional wounds—and what healing actually looks like for women who've spent decades ignoring their own needs. What You'll Hear in This Episode: What is functional nutrition? Anke shares how she looks beyond lab results to map out a client's full health timeline—physical and emotional. The emotional roots of weight loss resistance You'll hear how one client's belief that she didn't deserve “new clothes” shaped her eating habits for life—and how Anke helped her break that pattern. How metabolism, hormones, and gut health are connected We unpack how trauma, stress, and people-pleasing can derail your health, even when you think you're doing everything right. Why coaches need to create safe spaces for vulnerability I share how your marketing, your discovery calls, and your presence all influence whether a client can truly open up and heal. Especially if they're carrying shame around their body or health. If you're a coach or wellness practitioner working with midlife women—or if your own body is giving you confusing signals—this episode is packed with insights to help you move from confusion to clarity.
