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

In this powerful Life by Design message, Dr. Dan Stanley draws from 1 Corinthians 3 to reveal what it truly means to be “God's building.” He explores how the challenges we see in modern churches—people leaving, fractured relationships, unmet expectations—aren't about physical buildings but about spiritual maturity and connection. With practical insight,Dr. Stanley encourages believers to examine their relationships with God and one another, build on the firm foundation of Jesus Christ, and become wise builders who strengthen the body of Christ through grace, unity, and purpose.

In this episode of Life by Design, Dan unpacks 1 Corinthians 3 and explores Paul's timeless message about spiritual maturity. He contrasts the “milk” of basic faith with the “solid food” of deeper understanding, highlighting how jealousy, rivalry, and personality-driven divisions still challenge believers today.Dan reminds us that while people may plant or water, only God causes true growth. It's a powerful call to return to spiritual basics, live beyond the flesh, and trust God to shape both our personal faith and the health of His Church.

In this inspiring episode of Life by Design, Dr. Dan Stanley reflects on his passion for helping the local church thrive in health and unity. As he shares updates about his upcoming book, mission plans, and continuing education,Dr. Stanlry explores one of the most pressing challenges churches face today—the “backdoor” issue of members quietly slipping away. He emphasizes that true leadership is rooted in trust, authenticity, and a willingness to lay down one's life for the body of Christ. This conversation invites pastors, leaders, and believers alike to pray, build trust, and seek God's miraculous work in strengthening His Church.
