Have you ever looked successful on paper… yet felt like something was quietly off behind the scenes? Like you were winning the game, but not really winning at life? That's exactly the tension we unpack in this episode and trust me, it goes way deeper than money or business tactics.In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I sit down with my good friend Ben Wilson for a real, grounded, no-BS conversation about wealth, legacy, faith, and what it actually means to live a life that feels aligned. Ben is the Owner and Broker of Team Wilson Real Estate Partners and one of the most intentional humans I know. His team owns and manages over $300 million in real estate assets and has surpassed $1 billion in total sales, but what really stood out to me from the moment we met wasn't the numbers. It was how he shows up as a husband, father, leader, and man of faith. This episode matters because Ben doesn't just talk about success; he lives it in a way that doesn't sacrifice family, integrity, or joy along the way.We dive into how pain, not ambition, was the catalyst that led Ben into real estate and ultimately reshaped his entire approach to life. One of the biggest takeaways is the idea that you can be “winning” financially and still be losing if you don't understand the rules of the game you're playing. Ben breaks down a powerful framework using the baseball diamond to explain why character has to come first, community second, and contribution third, and how reversing that order creates chaos, stress, and burnout.Another huge lesson from this conversation is Ben's seven non-negotiables for life and leadership. Simple on the surface, but profound in practice: show up, be consistent, have a great attitude, commit for the long haul, live with faith and passion, be willing to pay the price, and always do the next right thing. These aren't motivational quotes. They're daily filters Ben uses to guide his family, his businesses, and his decisions.We also talk deeply about legacy not as something you leave someday, but something you live right now. Ben shares why he believes true wealth is about building enough resources to create harmony across mind, body, and spirit, so you can ultimately give it all away. And maybe my favorite part of the episode? The reminder that fun isn't optional. It's strategic. Focus, fearlessness, and freedom aren't just nice ideas. They're the formula for a life that actually feels worth living.This conversation is packed with wisdom for entrepreneurs, leaders, and anyone who wants more than just financial success. If you're building a business, raising a family, or trying to figure out how to do both without losing yourself in the process, this episode will meet you right where you are.What does Happy Hustlin mean to you? Ben says I chose to leave a job so that I could pursue my calling each and every day and literally share it with the world and fill everybody's cup, including my own.Connect with Benhttp://www.facebook.com/TeamWilsonRealEstatehttps://www.instagram.com/teamwilsonrep/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiIiynkk0Gw_rBhFZ1ZHN2ghttps://www.instagram.com/teamwilsonrep/https://twitter.com/TeamWilsonREPFind Ben on this website: https://www.teamwilsontn.com/Connect with Cary!https://www.instagram.com/caryjack/https://www.facebook.com/SirCaryJackhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cary-jack-kendzior/https://twitter.com/thehappyhustlehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFDNsD59tLxv2JfEuSsNMOQ/featured Get a free copy of his new book, The Happy Hustle, 10 Alignments to Avoid Burnout & Achieve Blissful Balance https://www.thehappyhustle.com/bookSign up for The Journey: 10 Days To Become a Happy Hustler Online Coursehttps://thehappyhustle.com/thejourney/Apply to the Montana Mastermind Epic Camping Adventurehttps://thehappyhustle.com/mastermind/“It's time to Happy Hustle, a blissfully balanced life you love, full of passion, purpose, and positive impact!”Episode Sponsors:If you're feeling stressed, not sleeping great, or your energy's been kinda meh lately—let me put you on to something that's been a total game-changer for me: Magnesium Breakthrough by BiOptimizers.

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.This is Biosnap AI. In the past few days Justin Bieber has been quietly expanding his footprint in both tech discourse and fashion while keeping his public movements relatively low key but very on brand.According to Moneycontrol and the Times of India, Bieber ignited a mini tech firestorm when he blasted the iPhones dictation and voice note controls on Instagram and X, complaining that the send button should not have multiple functions and joking that if the dictation button interrupts his music one more time he will put everyone at Apple in a rear naked chokehold. Elon Musk amplified the rant with fire emojis, while OpenAI design chief Ian Silber publicly invited Bieber to their weekly design critique sessions, effectively recasting the pop star as an accidental product design influencer. Tech outlets framed it with headlines along the lines of Justin Bieber hates this iPhone feature so much he wants to put everyone at Apple in a chokehold and highlighted that his gripe landed during a week of high level Apple departures, giving the outburst unusual long term biographical weight as part of his shift into tech cultural commentary.On the business side, sneaker and streetwear press in Japan and the UK report that Bieber is in Tokyo for a limited run SKYLRK popup, a five day capsule shop from December 4th to 8th pitched as a scarcity driven masterclass in hype marketing, with tightly controlled stock, surprise drops and heavy social buzz positioning SKYLRK as his next serious fashion play rather than a one off merch table.Social media sightings back up his Tokyo stay. Fan videos on YouTube and TikTok show Justin and Hailey Bieber at a café in the city on December 3rd, looking relaxed and dressed down, and another clip has him later at 1 OAK Tokyo nightclub on December 5th, suggesting the trip is a mix of work for the popup and nightlife downtime. These are unverified fan recordings but consistent in timing and location.Meanwhile, older footage has resurfaced in the tabloids, with LadBible circulating a past clip of Sean Diddy Combs telling a very young Bieber to stay silent about what strange friends do together, which is being reinterpreted through the lens of current allegations against Diddy. That resurfacing is more about Diddys story than Biebers, but it keeps Justin peripherally in the narrative without any new accusations directed at him.There are no credible reports in the last few days of new music releases, tours, or major legal controversies; speculation about surprise performances or albums is circulating among fan accounts only and remains unconfirmed.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
Sean Combs, also known as Puff Daddy, Puffy, and P. Diddy, remains at the center of a storm of legal drama, documentary exposés, and family backlash, as his fall from music mogul to convicted felon continues to unfold in the headlines.USA Today reports that Combs is currently serving a federal prison sentence of just over four years after his conviction on charges of transportation to engage in prostitution, part of a wider federal case that publicly aired allegations of sex trafficking, drugs, and violent “freak-off” parties tied to his inner circle. According to the Federal Bureau of Prisons data cited by USA Today, his projected release date is in 2028, though that may shift with time served and any successful appeals.The most explosive new chapter is Netflix's multi-part docuseries Sean Combs: The Reckoning, executive produced by his longtime rival Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson. USA Today explains that the series traces Combs' rise from Bad Boy Records architect and hitmaker to a symbol of celebrity excess and alleged abuse, featuring never-before-seen footage and interviews with former insiders who describe how “something darker” began to color his ambitions. Director Alexandria Stapleton has said the project was in part inspired by Combs' ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura and her 2023 sexual assault lawsuit, and she frames the series as a mirror held up to a culture that puts stars on pedestals they may not deserve.The Netflix release has reignited the decades-long feud between Combs and 50 Cent. LadBible breaks down how their rivalry, once mostly about business competition and trolling, has now escalated into a high-stakes battle over narrative and reputation, with 50 Cent positioning himself as a truth-teller exposing industry secrets while capitalizing on Combs' downfall.Inside the Combs family itself, the pushback is fierce. RadarOnline reports that Sean Combs' mother, Janice Combs, has publicly blasted Netflix and the docuseries as “lies” and “outrageous and past offensive.” In a statement, she specifically denies a claim in the series that her son once slapped her after the tragic 1991 City College event, calling that allegation “patently false” and accusing former Bad Boy executive Kirk Burrows of exploiting a tragedy for personal gain. She argues the series was intentionally designed to be salacious, and Combs' legal team has sent Netflix a cease-and-desist letter, labeling the project a corporate “hit piece.” Netflix, for its part, denies any retaliation and insists no one was paid to participate and that 50 Cent does not have creative control over the final cut.Through it all, Combs sits behind bars, appealing his conviction while the public continues to reassess his legacy: visionary hitmaker, ruthless mogul, alleged abuser—or all of the above. The story of Sean Combs is no longer just about chart-topping hits, but about power, accountability, and what happens when a cultural icon faces the full weight of the legal system and the court of public opinion at the same time.Thanks for tuning in, and come back next week for more.

Sean Combs, the hip-hop mogul known as Diddy or Puff Daddy, continues to dominate headlines as he serves his 50-month prison sentence following his federal conviction. On October 3rd, 2025, Combs was sentenced to approximately four years in prison after being found guilty on two counts of transporting women across state lines for prostitution. According to Federal Bureau of Prisons records, his official release date is set for May 8th, 2028.The split verdict surprised many observers. Combs was acquitted on the most serious charges including sex trafficking, racketeering, and conspiracy, yet convicted on the prostitution-related counts. The trial featured months of disturbing testimony and viral evidence, including surveillance footage showing Combs assaulting his ex-partner Cassie Ventura. Legal experts have debated what the divided verdict reveals about the justice system in 2025, questioning whether jurors viewed psychological coercion as real violence or whether celebrity status influenced the outcome.Since his arrest in September 2024, Combs has been detained at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center. Recent documents obtained by CBS News reveal details of his prison life. He faced disciplinary action for allegedly violating rules against three-person phone calls. Combs has been assigned to work in the chapel and is currently enrolled in a drug treatment program while serving his sentence.The music mogul's legal team filed a notice of appeal in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, with details of the appeal to be submitted at a later date. Combs has already served approximately one year behind bars, which means he could potentially be released in less than three years after receiving credit for time served.Speculation emerged in October that President Donald Trump might commute Combs' sentence after reports claimed the president was deliberating the matter. However, a White House spokesperson firmly denied these claims on October 21st, stating there is zero truth to the story. Trump had previously acknowledged that Combs requested a pardon, though the president expressed reservations given Combs' past criticism of him.The case has captivated public attention throughout 2025, sparking broader conversations about accountability, power, and celebrity in the American justice system. As Combs continues his prison term, his legal team pursues appeals while the public remains divided on the verdict's implications.Thank you for tuning in to this update.

Sean "Diddy" Combs continues to dominate headlines as he serves his 50-month prison sentence following his federal conviction. On October 3rd, 2025, a New York federal judge handed down the sentence along with a half-million dollar fine and five years of supervised release, marking a dramatic fall from grace for the once-untouchable music mogul.The pivotal week of his trial in mid-June 2025 proved decisive in his conviction. During those critical days, prosecutors presented bombshell evidence including six firearms with defaced serial numbers discovered near alleged "freak-off" supplies. Homeland Security uncovered AR-15 parts, drugs, and lubricants allegedly connected to a sex-trafficking operation. A witness identified as "Jane" delivered emotional testimony, confronting Combs in court after describing years of abuse and coercive control. Jonathan Perez, Diddy's former assistant turned immunity witness, provided damaging drug procurement testimony that strengthened the government's case, though not without complications.The trial itself became a spectacle when Kanye West made a surreal courthouse appearance, adding to the already volatile atmosphere. The controversial dismissal of Juror Number 6 has since come under scrutiny for potential bias concerns.Psychotherapists analyzing the case have examined whether Combs' reported actions align with narcissistic personality traits and psychopathic tendencies, pointing to patterns of coercive control, emotional domination, financial control, threats, surveillance, and sexual coercion as hallmarks of long-term abuse cycles. Experts noted how high-profile abusers weaponize influence, fear, and fame to silence victims.Currently, Combs is incarcerated at FCI Fort Dix, where recent reports suggest he's maintaining his spirits and even bringing holiday cheer to fellow inmates as the year winds down. Before his downfall, the entrepreneur had built a substantial empire, expanding beyond music into fashion with his Sean John label, beverages including his lucrative partnerships with Cîroc vodka and DeLeón Tequila, and various media ventures through Revolt TV.His legal team continues to navigate the aftermath of his sentencing as he serves out his prison term, a stark contrast to his former status as a Grammy Award-winning mogul worth over a billion dollars.Thank you for tuning in today.

I have to admit that one of my core beliefs about moguls was challenged during this most recent conversation with Olympic Moguls silver medalist Matt Graham. For a long time, I believed that more ski snow contact was the ultimate sign of a good bump skierl. But in this open and honest conversation, Matt explains why the opposite is true when you want speed and rhythm in a mogul course.I was working with Carv at Hintertux when I met up with him, and he talked me through the key ideas the best bump skiers in the world rely on plus a whole lot more

This episode is packed with real talk, real lessons, and a reminder that the comeback is always stronger than the setback.
Sean Combs, better known to listeners as Puff Daddy, P. Diddy, or simply Diddy, remains one of the most high-profile and controversial figures in music and popular culture, but the tone around his name has dramatically shifted over the past year. In 2025, Diddy has been at the center of relentless headlines, primarily due to a legal saga that's not letting up. According to Hidden Killers, Diddy is in federal custody and has already faced civil lawsuits and investigations for trafficking-related conduct. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department has now confirmed it's looking into a new sexual assault allegation tied to a 2020 incident, an era not lost to dusty archives but part of the digital age, giving authorities access to texts, emails, and other timelines that can significantly strengthen a case.This latest complaint carries significant weight because it enters a legal environment already deep in motion, with prior federal raids, confiscation of electronics, and a mounting list of civil and criminal complaints. Experts emphasize that the legal tide can shift quickly in Los Angeles, a jurisdiction not easily swayed by celebrity.Diddy's legal troubles escalated in mid-2025. Cinemablend highlighted that his arrest and subsequent trial became headline news from May to July, culminating in a mixed verdict that included a conviction on charges of transportation to engage in prostitution. In October, he was sentenced to four years in prison at FCI Fort Dix, which drastically changed the course of his public and professional life. The fallout has been brutal, with fellow artists and comedians—most recently Donald Glover, also known as Childish Gambino—publicly lampooning Diddy. Glover even sold “cancel cards” with Diddy's image at Camp Flog Gnaw in Los Angeles, poking fun at the rapper's infamous “Freak Off parties.”Despite these legal challenges, Diddy's business empire remains colossal in scope. FandomWire reported that his partnership with Diageo for Cîroc vodka and DeLeón Tequila remains historic, having pushed his net worth north of a billion dollars before the criminal storm hit. Still, from the revelations of his kids' emotional appeals during sentencing to wild rumors about Trump promising him a presidential pardon, Diddy continues to dominate headlines for reasons well beyond music and business.The story is far from over, as Diddy recently scored a small legal victory with an expedited appeal scheduled for April 2026, keeping hopes alive among his supporters and keeping his critics on edge, according to AOL News.Thanks for tuning in.

Ian unveils why mobile home parks are a hidden gem for investors, from providing affordable housing to enjoying incredibly long tenant retention (14 years average!). Learn how buying them can generate massive forced equity, provide strong cash flow, and offer fantastic depreciation benefits, often with lower operating expenses.Mastering Passive Investing with Syndications: Ian demystifies real estate syndications, explaining how he vets top-tier operators (he's always the first investor in!) and pulls together capital for large-scale projects like mobile home parks. He shares why letting go of control was a mental hurdle for this entrepreneur but ultimately led to leveraging talent and maximizing returns.Become the Bank: The Power of Private Lending Funds: Explore the world of private lending through Ian's "low-risk" fund. Discover how his team funds fix-and-flippers, securing first lien positions at conservative LTVs, providing consistent 8-10% returns.

Justin Timberlake BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Timberlake continues to expand his business empire while maintaining a relatively low profile in terms of public performances. The pop superstar recently made headlines with his hospitality ventures, particularly the announcement of a major new project in Austin, Texas. Timberlake is partnering with restaurateur Sam Fox to bring an expanded version of their successful Nashville establishment, The Twelve Thirty Club, to downtown Austin. This luxe four-level venue will occupy a historic post office building dating back to 1912 and will span 35,000 square feet, making it significantly larger than the Nashville flagship. The 30 million dollar renovation is set to begin in early 2026, with an expected opening in late 2027. The space will feature The Supper Club on the main level offering live performances, a speakeasy with DJ sets, a members-only lounge, and a private event space accommodating up to 80 guests.Beyond the Austin project, Timberlake's golf ventures continue gaining traction. His company, The Farm Nashville, affiliated with 8AM Golf where he serves as co-developer, recently finalized the purchase of approximately 112 acres in Nashville's Whites Creek neighborhood for 7.5 million dollars. This brings their total holdings to roughly 475 acres, where they're developing Bounty Club, an exclusive 18-hole private golf course designed by King-Collins. The membership will be highly curated, positioning it among Nashville's most elite golf establishments.On the entertainment front, Timberlake is confirmed to headline the Electric Castle festival in Romania this summer, marking his first performance in the country. The July 16-20 event at Banffy Castle near Cluj-Napoca will showcase his extensive catalog alongside material from his recent album, Everything I Thought It Was.Recent social media activity shows Timberlake enjoying personal time, including a date night with his wife Jessica Biel at the Los Angeles hotspot Beauty and Essex, as well as golf outings at Newport Beach Country Club affiliated with his 8AM Golf company.While recent reports indicate he's focusing on personal health matters and taking a temporary break from intensive industry work, his business momentum shows no signs of slowing. Between his restaurant empire expansion and continued golf course development, Timberlake is strategically positioning himself as a major player in hospitality and leisure industries beyond his entertainment career.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Justin Timberlake BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Timberlake has been making headlines in the past several days, reclaiming his status as a major player in music, hospitality, and business. The biggest story out of Texas is Timberlake's upcoming expansion of The Twelve Thirty Club, his luxury Nashville venue, into Downtown Austin. Austin's CultureMap broke the news that Timberlake, in partnership with Sam Fox, will renovate a historic 100-year-old post office for the $30 million, four-level project—a move described as one of the most significant hospitality investments in recent Austin history. Timberlake announced his enthusiasm for the project, highlighting Austin's deep connection to live music and promising a venue where music and dining blend seamlessly. This club will feature a main Supper Club floor with live performances and dining, a late-night Speakeasy lounge for DJs, a private members club that overlooks shows, and an intimate private event space. ATXtoday and FSR Magazine also covered the announcement, emphasizing Timberlake's intent to create an original experience for Austin while preserving the building's history. Local buzz predicts this development will solidify Timberlake's influence far beyond music, turning him into a Texas hospitality mogul.In his music career, Timberlake is still in high demand internationally. Recent ticket sales and news from timberlake-baku.com confirmed a major appearance at Baku Crystal Hall in 2025 as part of his Forget Tomorrow tour, a concert hyped as a top music event for Europe that year. Fans and media are watching closely for setlists and possible surprise collaborations, signaling that Timberlake retains formidable draw on the live stage.Business news continues to swirl around Timberlake's music rights and catalog deals in the complex world of publishing. Wikipedia and recent business reporting detailed the creation of Recognition Music Group, a merger and rebrand following Blackstone's acquisition of Hipgnosis Songs Fund, which previously purchased Timberlake's song catalog outright in 2022. Now, Sony Music Publishing has acquired the US publishing and administration business that includes Timberlake's catalog as part of Recognition's latest strategic moves. These deals secure Timberlake's legacy, with his works generating long-term cash flows and solidifying his relevance for decades.On the health and personal front, AOL reports Timberlake is taking a temporary break to focus on recovery, citing ongoing health concerns—but specifics remain private. Social media chatter is mostly supportive, with fans expressing sympathy and encouragement, though no official posts from Timberlake himself have appeared in recent days.No controversy, legal drama, or unexpected scandals have broken regarding Timberlake's business or personal life this week. The focus remains squarely on his entrepreneurial ventures and sustained musical influence. If successful, Austin's Twelve Thirty Club launch might rival his Nashville flagship, shaping both his biography and Austin's cultural landscape. For now, the timeline, major investments, and Timberlake's level of involvement are what industry insiders and fans alike are watching most closely.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

MoviePass became a cultural phenomenon—then imploded under new ownership. Founder Stacy Spikes bought the brand out of bankruptcy for ~$140K, relaunched, and delivered profitable 2023 and 2024—now unveiling Mogul, a fantasy-sports-style game for movies that could 10x ARPU versus subscriptions. In this episode, Spikes recaps the original data behind movie subscriptions (111% lift in theater attendance; concessions tailwind), what broke during the $10-per-month era, and why MoviePass 2.0 pairs a sustainable, any-theater subscription with a knowledge-based gaming platform (salary cap, leaderboards, seasonal play). We cover unit-economics realities (why exhibitors can subsidize with F&B and MoviePass can't), core user behavior and demographics, state-by-state fantasy rules, and the thesis that theatrical is still the #1 out-of-home entertainment globally. Investors get the scale path; founders get lessons on resurrecting a beloved brand—this time with the right business model.Highlights include…The rise, fall, and return: why the $10 unlimited era failed—and what's different nowData that started it all: subscription → +111% moviegoing; concessions economicsWhy Mogul (fantasy/prediction game) = higher ARPU, stickier engagementSubscriptions vs. exhibitors: pricing power, F&B offsets, and sustainable marginsCore user profile & frequency patterns; seasonalityState-by-state rules for knowledge-based contests (daily fantasy analog)Building a bigger ecosystem: MoviePass + MogulChapters00:00 Intro & why MoviePass still matters00:28 The cultural phenomenon & collapse01:20 Buying the brand back (~$140K) and relaunch03:22 Founding logic: subscription → more attendance04:42 What went wrong with $10 unlimited07:28 Fraud era, bankruptcy, and reset08:01 Profitable 2023/2024; what changed11:22 Unit economics vs. theater F&B12:38 Pivot to Mogul (fantasy/prediction)14:46 Knowledge-based contests, ARPU potential17:33 Current sub business: usage, demos, seasonality20:46 Growth plan & ecosystem vision22:52 Why theatrical is still king28:37 How to learn more & invest
