What if the key to building something truly great wasn't perfect balance, but the courage to be temporarily out of it? That question hit me hard in this week's conversation, and I think it's going to hit you the same way. This episode of the Happy Hustle Podcast is one of those conversations that just fires you up from start to finish. My guest is Tayson Whitaker, founder and president of Outdoor Vitals, a performance ultralight backpacking company he started at just 23 years old with $500 in his pocket and a whole lot of grit. Ten years later, Outdoor Vitals has grown into a multimillion dollar direct to consumer brand that's helping thousands of people build the confidence to get outside and actually live. Tayson didn't take investor money. He didn't chase REI shelf space. He built something real, stayed true to his mission, and somehow managed to keep his soul in the process. That's the kind of story that belongs on this podcast. We covered a ton of ground in this one. From bootstrapping and Kickstarter campaigns that generated over two and a half million dollars, to using AI as a tool to give small teams the firepower of big ones, to the Masogi concept and why doing something that scares the heck out of you once a year might just reset your entire life. There's something in this episode for every happy hustler out there, whether you're an entrepreneur, an outdoor enthusiast, or someone just trying to figure out how to build something meaningful without losing yourself along the way. Here are some of the biggest lessons I pulled from this conversation. First, focus on one thing and beat the best at it. Tayson was crystal clear on this. The online marketplace is wide open competition, and the entrepreneurs who win are the ones willing to go narrow and go deep. He's seen friends build eight figure businesses off essentially one product. Not because they were lucky, but because they committed, perfected it, and refused to chase every shiny object in sight. He's honest about struggling with this himself, which makes it land even harder. Second, constraints breed creativity. Tayson never took outside funding, and that decision forced him to innovate in ways he never would have otherwise. Kickstarter, a membership program that turns into store credit, building a loyal customer base from scratch. None of that gets created if you've got a VC writing checks and calling the shots. He said it plainly. Once you define what you will and won't do, you can innovate within those boundaries. That's it. That's the whole game. Third, the Masogi mindset will change how you see hard things. A Masogi is a challenge you take on where you've got roughly a 50/50 shot of actually pulling it off. Not something that's going to kill you, but something real enough that failure is genuinely on the table. Tayson has done hundred mile solo hikes, ultra marathons, and rim to rim to rim in the Grand Canyon. And his takeaway every time is the same. When life throws a curveball the next day, it just doesn't feel that heavy anymore. Because you know what hard really looks like now. Fourth, temporary imbalance is not the enemy. This one really got me. Tayson flips the whole balance conversation on its head, and honestly, I think he's right. You don't build anything great living in perfect daily balance. You sprint when it's time to sprint, and you back off when you've made the gains. The key is just being honest with yourself about what season you're in and making sure you find your way back. He's been running Outdoor Vitals for twelve years and still loves it. That's not an accident. That's someone who learned to listen to his own signals. Fifth, AI is a tool for magnifying people, not replacing them. Tayson's take on AI is grounded and practical. He sees it the same way he sees the internet or the smartphone. It's technology. It gives small teams the ability to do what only big teams could do before. One person managing AI focused entirely on email, or ads, or brand messaging, is a multiplier that wasn't available even five years ago. The opportunity isn't in fearing it. It's in being the one who figures out how to pull the lever well. This conversation reminded me of everything I love about building a business with purpose. Tayson isn't just selling gear. He's connecting people to the outdoors, building confidence, and doing it all without sacrificing what actually matters. Family. Freedom. A life lived on purpose.

So Eric Trump is suing Jen Psaki. And I don't even care what the lawsuit is about. Seriously. At this point, if a Trump sues a Democrat, I assume somewhere there's a fax machine crying and three MSNBC producers stress-eating hummus.But I love the symbolism of it. Because for years these people weaponized government against Trump, weaponized the courts, weaponized intelligence agencies, weaponized leaks, weaponized social media. Democrats turned America into the world's first bureaucratic escape room. Every day under Trump was another clue: “To continue your presidency, solve this puzzle hidden inside a subpoena wrapped in a Russia hoax.”Now? Eric Trump says, “Cool. Your turn.”And suddenly the Left discovers legal fees are expensive when USAID isn't covering them.That's the beauty of MAGA. It's not just political anymore. It's cultural gravity. Trump didn't simply survive. He turned political persecution into a franchise model. Democrats thought they were building his prison cell. Instead they built a gymnasium where conservatives learned how to fight.And spare me this media fairy tale that MAGA is “falling apart.” They've been predicting the death of MAGA longer than Al Gore's been predicting the death of the planet. According to cable news, MAGA has died more times than Kenny on South Park.They tell us conservatives are furious with Trump over war policy, personality, tariffs, tone, Truth Social posts, golf scores, the angle of his tie, and probably the migration pattern of geese. Yet somehow, every Republican who publicly betrayed Trump politically evaporated like cheap cologne in Phoenix.Ten out of ten House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump? Gone.Five Republican Senators tied to impeachment efforts? Gone, including Bill Cassidy.The Bush dynasty? Politically taxidermied.Cheneys? The political equivalent of Circuit City.Romneys? Finished.Pence? Mike Pence has less support in the Republican Party than gluten-free biscuits at a Texas rodeo.And this matters historically because the Republican establishment used to operate like a country club with a velvet rope. You got approved by donors, consultants, think tanks, and guys named Whitaker who own loafers without socks. Trump bulldozed that system. MAGA voters looked at decades of “managed decline” from polished Republicans and said, “Maybe the billionaire from Queens screaming at CNN is onto something.”And here's the part the Left still cannot process: MAGA isn't held together by government dependency. That's why it survives attacks.Leftism? Different story entirely.Leftism would collapse inside a month if it had to survive without taxpayer subsidies and foreign influence money. One month. Thirty days. The political equivalent of a juice cleanse.Because modern Leftism produces almost nothing organically anymore. Every institution props it up artificially: academia, entertainment, NGOs, government grants, corporate DEI departments, media partnerships, foreign donors. It's the ideological version of a patient connected to fourteen machines going beep-beep-beep while MSNBC doctors stand around saying, “Vitals look strong!”No they don't.Imagine if Leftists had to balance a budget. Imagine if they had to run cities without deficits, corruption, or dependency. Imagine if they couldn't endlessly siphon taxpayer money into “equity initiatives” that somehow always end with consultants buying vacation homes.Meanwhile, conservatives already do what Leftists only hashtag about. They donate more privately. Volunteer more. Build businesses. Create jobs. Show up after disasters with chainsaws and bottled water instead of interpretive dance and pronoun worksheets.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Scouting for Girls frontman Roy Stride achieved global fame and number-one albums, but behind the scenes, he was wearing a mask. For 25 years, he used alcohol to bridge the gap between his public persona and a deep-seated feeling of never being "enough," eventually spiraling into a high-functioning nightmare of secret drinking and pre-show panic attacks.In this episode, Roy pulls back the curtain on the exhaustion of the "secret life." He reveals the extreme lengths he went to hide his addiction, from filling non-alcoholic cans with real beer to drinking 30 units a day while on tour. Roy also discusses the moment his dream became a prison, his initial skepticism of recovery, and how leaning into the "weirdness" of AA saved his marriage, his career, and his life. This is a powerful exploration of why life in recovery is infinitely better than the "belonging" found in a bottle.This episode covers the following themes: Addiction, High-Functioning Anxiety, Recovery, and Finding Belonging.'Scouting for Girls' new album These Are The Good Days' is out nowNeed Support?Samaritans: Call 116 123 or visit samaritans.orgNarcotics Anonymous: na.orgAlcoholics Anonymous: alcoholics-anonymous.org.ukMental Health Mates: mentalhealthmates.co.ukShout: https: giveusashout.orgIAPT: https://www.england.nhs.uk/mental-health/adults/nhs-talking-therapies/Heights

This week's guest is Kathleen Saxton, who dives deep into the complexities of narcissism, family dynamics, and the painful journey of healing from childhood wounds.Kathleen breaks down the three types of narcissists, ‘grandiose', ‘covert', and ‘malignant', offering an eye-opening framework, particularly highlighting covert narcissists who use pity and victimhood for supply. She explores how children of narcissists often stop loving themselves, losing their sense of identity in the process, and how family roles like the golden child, scapegoat, and lost child perpetuate unhealthy patterns. Kathleen also explains why those raised by narcissistic parents tend to attract similar partners, as dysfunction feels like home.Through practical tools like the "empty chair technique" and her three-step recovery roadmap: accept, have compassion for yourself, and design your future, Kathleen offers actionable steps to begin healing.

This week's guest is Arron Crascall, who shares his raw journey from struggling with addiction and low self-esteem to finding hope and transformation through surrender and honesty.Arron talks about how he never felt comfortable in his own skin, always changing to fit in, and how his first drink at 17 gave him the feeling of being “alive” for the first time. He opens up about the long battle with alcohol, how he tried therapy, hypnotherapy, and changing environments, but nothing worked until he reached a breaking point, a family meal that made him realize he was about to lose everything. That moment became his turning point, and he found a higher power in a quiet voice telling him, “You ain't gotta do this anymore, but you need help.”This episode dives into the transformative power of the 12-step program, how Arron's practice of gratitude helped shift his mindset, and the struggles he still faces, including guilt for missing parts of his kids' lives.

This inaugural episode of the CardioNerds Pulmonary Embolism (PE) Series explores the evolution of acute PE care. Dr. Ibrahim Zahid, Dr. Dinu Balanescu, and Dr. Billy Joe Mullinax join guest expert Dr. Kenneth Rosenfield to discuss the shifting landscape of PE management. Pulmonary embolism (PE) remains a leading cause of cardiovascular mortality and a frequent diagnostic challenge, often masquerading as myocardial infarction or a benign illness. Over the past decade, PE care has evolved from anticoagulation-only strategies to nuanced, risk-stratified, multidisciplinary management. Modern approaches integrate hemodynamics, biomarkers, and advanced imaging to guide therapy, including catheter-directed interventions and large-bore thrombectomy. The Pulmonary Embolism Response Team (PERT) model addresses historical gaps by coordinating rapid, multispecialty decision-making and standardizing care pathways. The PERT Consortium further advances PE care through education, research, and the world's largest PE registry, while fostering leadership and research opportunities for trainees. Despite advances, long-term outcomes and post-PE syndromes remain important areas for future investigation. Audio editing by CardioNerds Academy intern, student doctor, Pace Wetstein.

Pearls PE is a “master masquerader”—maintain suspicion for atypical presentations like myocardial infarction, heart failure, flu, or anxiety. Multidisciplinary management mediated through pulmonary embolism response teams improves outcomes and standardizes care. Risk stratification integrates hemodynamics, biomarkers, and imaging. Advanced therapies have expanded beyond anticoagulation. Long‑term follow‑up and post‑PE syndrome need more research. Notes Notes: Notes drafted by Dr. Ibrahim Zahid. 1. How has the clinical approach to PE changed over the past decade? PE is the third leading cause of cardiovascular death and historically under‑recognized. Symptoms mimic MI, HF, asthma, syncope, and more.PE is a silent killer, and it should be recognized more as a cause of spontaneous cardiac arrest. Where life threatening disease like stroke which is owned by neurological specialists and MI is primarily managed by cardiac specialists, PE is an entity without a professional home. The PERT Consortium brings the specialties together for PE care. 2. Ten years ago, a 58-year-old patient with a large bilateral PE, RV dilation, and positive biomarkers might have been managed with anticoagulation and close observation alone. Today, with evolving—but still uneven—data on advanced therapies, PE care feels far more nuanced and highly dependent on where you practice. What are the major gaps in traditional PE management that clinicians should recognize, and what care pathways should they be aware of across different hospital systems? Care has shifted from anticoagulation‑only to multidisciplinary approaches like catheter directed thrombectomy. Risk‑based pathways and the use of CT angiogram has improved early recognition. Risk stratification tools must be used as tools for early recognition of intermediate risk PE. Untreated PE leads to chronic complications like chronic thromboembolic disease and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, which requires long term clinic follow up. 3. What is the role of risk stratification tools such as PeSI, sPeSI scores, cardiac biomarkers, and imaging findings in PE, and how do they guide treatment decisions in real world practice? Integrate vitals (blood pressure and heart rate), biomarkers (troponin, pro-BNP), RV/LV ratio assessment, acid‑base status, and scores. Tools include PESI, sPESI, BOVA, HESTIA, FAST, Geneva, NEWS, shock index. Vitals, lactate, acid-base status, and tools like NEWS or shock index track clinical evolution. PESI/sPESI estimate 30-day mortality and help identify low-risk patients who may be candidates for early discharge or outpatient therapy. Clinical judgment matters—scores don't fully capture clot burden, trajectory, or bleeding risk. 4. How was the pulmonary embolism response team created, and since its creation, what evidence or outcome data became available to support the PERT model? Originated after a sentinel case at MGH: A young, pregnant woman in her 30s, who collapsed at home, underwent thrombectomy, and had to be on ECMO for a few days. The case brought cardiology, cardiac surgeons and critical care physicians together for planning and improvement in her health, which was rewarding. Thereby, it was decided to bring specialties involved in PE care together to create a response team. The name of the team, Pulmonary Embolism Response Team (PERT), was coined by Richard Channick in the first meeting. Posters were set up all over the hospital to call a centralized line when an acute PE is recognized A meeting was held to present the concept of putting together a consortium, with development of action items and a PERT database. Enabled rapid multidisciplinary input using early teleconferencing tools. 5. Given concerns about having too many ‘cooks in the kitchen' during the initial PE call—especially with rotating teams—how can institutions reconcile workflow complexity with standardized pathways in a way that meaningfully supports and justifies the added burden on frontline clinicians? Every hospital's PERT is different, catering to their needs and workflow At least two disciplines are needed to make a PERTData is currently being collected to guide further on how the workflow can be standardized Most importantly, the team brings in resources that were not available prior to PERT formation. 6. What are the main goals of the PERT consortium, and how does it support clinicians and institutions involved? To improve care and improve outcomes for patients with PE Expand education, refine algorithms, standardize care with Centers of Excellence. Maintain the largest PE registry for research and outcomes improvement. 7. Beyond global networking, shared learning from successful systems, and the pathway toward Center of Excellence designation, what additional benefits can clinicians and health systems gain by participating in the PERT Consortium? The ability to learn from other systems, the ability to share experiences. Allow people to develop their professional careers like leadership experience, becoming a member of the trainee council Initiate projects and receive funding for your ideas 8. For trainees interested in pulmonary embolism care, how can a trainee be a champion at their institution? Does PERT provide assistance and how can they really contribute meaningfully even before becoming a fellow/attending? Medical students and residents interested in PE should reach out to the consortium and the consortium will hook you up with the correct mentors who can nurture you along. Listen to the podcasts. Participate with your local PERT team PERT wants involvement of people who are social media savvy to help spread the word on PE. Top three take-away points from this episode Acute PE care has advanced and multiple treatment modalities for acute PE including catheter directed therapy, large bore thrombectomy, are becoming standard of care. Multidisciplinary models like PERT improve coordination and outcomes. Trainees play a vital role in advancing PE care through involvement, research, and education References Konstantinides SV, Meyer G, Becattini C, Bueno H, Geersing GJ, Harjola VP, Huisman MV, Humbert M, Jennings CS, Jiménez D, Kucher N, Lang IM, Lankeit M, Lorusso R, Mazzolai L, Meneveau N, Ní Áinle F, Prandoni P, Pruszczyk P, Righini M, Torbicki A, Van Belle E, Zamorano JL; ESC Scientific Document Group. 2019 ESC Guidelines for the diagnosis and management of acute pulmonary embolism developed in collaboration with the European Respiratory Society (ERS).

This week's guest is Amy Dowden, who shares her powerful journey through breast cancer, fertility struggles, and mental health challenges, a story of resilience that's messy, ongoing, and real.Amy talks about returning to Strictly Come Dancing just months after chemotherapy, only to realise she was burying her trauma. When health complications forced her off the show, she hit rock bottom, lower than during her cancer treatment, but this became the turning point for true healing.She opens up about the hidden battles she faced: sepsis, fertility decisions just weeks after marriage, and the cruelty of online trolls. But through it all, Amy found unexpected perspective shifts, learning to live with Crohn's disease without constant anxiety, and discovering that recovery isn't solitary, it's built on community and connection.Amy chose to share her journey publicly, not as a perfect survivor, but as someone still figuring it out. This episode is about falling apart, hitting rock bottom, and slowly finding your way forward through small wins, honesty, and refusing to face it alone.This episode covers the following themes: cancer, recovery, vulnerability, and strength.Amy Dowden and Carlos Gu are heading on tour as part of 'Amy and Carlos Reborn' later this year.

This week's guest is Davinia Taylor, who challenges the traditional narrative of addiction and opens up about her journey from shame and self-doubt to embracing recovery on her own terms.In this episode, Davinia talks candidly about her realisation that addiction isn't always tied to trauma, and how understanding the biochemical and genetic basis of her struggle, low dopamine, ADHD, and even Viking ancestry, helped remove the shame she once carried. She reframes addiction from a moral failing to a biological reality, offering a powerful shift in perspective.Davinia also shares the truth about recovery: it's messy, it's imperfect, and it doesn't always follow the rigid rules we're told to follow. She opens up about the constant negotiation of active addiction and the exhaustion it creates, and the surprising discovery of true energy, not from alcohol, but through biohacking and ketones, which have become her source of fuel to live, not just survive.Honest, raw, and deeply human, Davinia's story is about rebuilding beyond perfection and finding peace in being imperfectly present for the people who matter most.This episode covers the following themes: addiction, shame, self-acceptance, and vulnerability.Simba mattresses

Send a textDay-one decisions shape a newborn's first week, and small changes can prevent big problems. In this episode, Cara and Missi dig into what's truly evidence-based now—delayed bathing to protect vernix and temperature, uninterrupted skin-to-skin to reduce energy burn, and clear thresholds for when to check and treat low blood sugar. Along the way, we unpack how updated NRP guidance simplifies early care: extend cord clamping to at least 60 seconds when possible, start term babies on room air, broaden ventilation rates to 30–60 per minute, and skip routine suctioning unless the airway needs clearing. Less fuss means warmer babies, steadier vitals, and fewer glucose crashes.Cara and Missi clear the fog around GBS prophylaxis. Penicillin remains the standard, with cefazolin for low-risk penicillin allergy and vancomycin when high-risk reactions are present or clindamycin sensitivity isn't confirmed. That clarity matters for maternal safety and newborn outcomes, especially in units where ampicillin lingers from past shortages. If your patients report a penicillin allergy early in pregnancy, consider formal evaluation to avoid unnecessary second-line antibiotics later.Finally, we connect physiology to practice. Newborns lose the maternal glucose “buffet” at birth and lean on glycogen and brown fat to bridge the gap; cold stress accelerates that burn, making hypothermia and hypoglycemia frequent partners. We outline who needs screening—IDMs, SGA, LGA, late preterm, and resuscitated infants—and how to manage lows with a calm, stepwise approach: warm the baby, feed early and often, use donor milk or glucose gel when indicated, and escalate to IV dextrose for symptomatic cases. It's a practical, exam-friendly, and family-centered guide to safer newborn care. #Baby #Newborn #BabyBabyAreYouOkay #Resuscitation #EatingAtThePlacentaBuffet #BloodSugar #NRP #SkinToSkin #GBSProphylaxis
