  • 5 Takeaways from the World’s Top Biohacker (Ben Greenfield) with Cary Jack

    5 Takeaways from the World’s Top Biohacker (Ben Greenfield) with Cary Jack
    Dec 5 2025
    Have you ever noticed that one powerful weekend can shift the entire trajectory of your life? That’s exactly what happened at the Optimized Life Mastermind I co-hosted at my brother Ben Greenfield’s biohacker compound in Idaho. And in this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I’m breaking down my biggest takeaways from that experience through the lens of what I call the 5 F’s: Family, Fitness, Faith, Finances, and Fun.If you don’t already know Ben, he’s basically a walking encyclopedia of high-performance living. New York Times bestselling author, top-tier health and fitness podcaster, former “World’s Fittest Man,” supplement founder, coach, entrepreneur, and honestly, just one of the most intentional humans I’ve ever spent time with. Hosting 20 high-performing entrepreneurs at his home for three and a half days, sharing meals, workouts, masterminds, and late-night deep dives, gave me a front row seat to how he actually lives his optimized life. And I’m pulling back the curtain for you.One of the biggest lessons came from watching Ben lead his family intentionally. He designs an environment where connection isn’t optional—it’s built in. Morning huddles, evening prayers, tech-free dinners, shared hobbies… all of it creates a home that breathes life into everyone inside it. Research backs it up, too: families with consistent rituals experience higher satisfaction and lower long-term stress. My takeaway? Rituals matter. Even one intentional daily practice, gratitude, prayer, a morning walk, can anchor your entire household.On the fitness front, training with Ben is no joke. The man is a machine. But what struck me most wasn’t the intensity. it was the simplicity. Micro-movements: 1-minute mobility, pull-ups between tasks, deep hangs, air squats, brisk walks on calls. Movement snacks, as he calls them. Layer in cold exposure, sunlight, and strength training, and your body becomes a high-performing feedback loop. I came home committed to implementing these simple but powerful movement bursts every day.And then there’s faith. Ben calls spiritual fitness the ultimate edge, and I couldn’t agree more. His days are rooted in devotion, scripture, worship, and deep conversation. Studies show spiritual practices reduce anxiety and increase emotional resilience, but for Ben, it’s more than data; it’s an operating system. My biggest takeaway? Stack spirituality into your existing habits. One scripture. One reflection. One prayer. Five minutes. Every day.On the financial side, Ben reminded me that wealth isn’t just what you earn, it’s what you systematize. Weekly financial reviews, automated investments, intentional giving, and simplifying your income structures create freedom, clarity, and creativity. And that quote he shared? “When God blesses you with wealth, don’t build a higher fence, build a longer table.” That’s how I want to live.And finally, fun. Joy is not optional. It’s strategic. Watching Ben integrate adventure, hobbies, and play into his weekly rhythm was a powerful reminder that fun fuels fulfillment. Whether it’s frisbee golf, cooking wild food, family game nights, bow hunting, or spontaneous adventures, fun is woven into the culture of his home. I left with a renewed commitment to schedule joy, not just hope for it.This mastermind wasn’t just about health hacks or business tactics. It was about alignment. Humanity. Connection. And the realization that a truly optimized life isn’t just built, it’s lived, day by day, ritual by ritual, breath by breath.If you want the full experience, all the stories, all the insights, and a deeper dive into how you can implement these 5 F’s in your own life, tune in to the full episode. I promise you, there’s at least one golden nugget in here that could shift everything for you.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.

  • How to LIVE a 10/10 Life: Leadership, Energy & Expansion with Leadership Visionary, Energetic Mastery Coach, and Business Mentor, Rudi Riekstins

    How to LIVE a 10/10 Life: Leadership, Energy & Expansion with Leadership Visionary, Energetic Mastery Coach, and Business Mentor, Rudi Riekstins
    Dec 2 2025
    Have you ever looked at your life, your business, your relationships, your health, and thought, “Man… I’m doing a lot, but am I actually living at my highest level?”In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I sit down with Rudi Riekstins, a leadership visionary, energetic mastery coach, and trusted mentor to high-performing entrepreneurs and transformational leaders. Rudi is the real deal. A husband, father, and deeply grounded human, he brings a blend of wisdom, spirituality, neuroscience, and lived experience that just hits different. This episode matters because it’s not about grinding harder… it’s about remembering who you actually are and learning how to create a life that is fully aligned, fully intentional, and fully YOU.We dive deep into what it really means to live a “10 out of 10 life,” where every area, from marriage to health to leadership to purpose, gets the attention it deserves. Rudi breaks down the mental, physical, and energetic bodies, the neuroscience of manifestation, and why most people unintentionally sabotage their dreams without even knowing it. And he does it all in a way that’s practical, simple, and powerful as hell.Some of the biggest takeaways you’ll hear are why the first 20 minutes of your day dictate your ability to lead, love, and create; how shifting your emotional state literally rewires your destiny; why giving selflessly of your insight, finances, and time accelerates abundance; how your energy influences people before your words ever reach them; and how coherence, not stress is the real superpower behind sustainable success.This conversation is an invitation to remember who the F you are, take ownership of your emotional world, and show up as the most aligned, whole, powerful version of yourself. It’s about becoming the kind of person who can have the epic marriage, the thriving business, the deep peace, and the joyful life without sacrificing your soul or burning out in the process.If you’re ready to elevate your leadership, expand your capacity, strengthen your relationships, tap into your deepest potential, and start living at a 10 out of 10… you’re going to love this one.What does Happy Hustlin mean to you? Rudi remembers who you are and every day walking into a room purposefully, carefully, and calculatedly planning who do you want to be so that you have the highest potential of meeting that expectation.Connect with Rudihttps://www.facebook.com/RudiRiekstinshttps://www.instagram.com/rudiriekstins/https://www.youtube.com/@rudiriekstinshttps://www.linkedin.com/in/rudi-riekstins/Find Rudi on this website: https://rudiriekstins.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.

  • BIRTHDAY SPECIAL TRADITION: 36 LIFE-CHANGING LESSONS LEARNED WITH CARY JACK

    BIRTHDAY SPECIAL TRADITION: 36 LIFE-CHANGING LESSONS LEARNED WITH CARY JACK
    Nov 28 2025

    Have you ever hit a birthday and thought, “Whoa… I learned a lot this year”?

    In this special birthday episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I’m breaking down 36 life lessons from 36 trips around the sun, the real stuff, the hard-won wisdom, the wins, the mistakes, and the things that actually helped me put the Happy in my Hustle this past year.

    Every year, I do this little tradition where I reflect back on the life truths that hit the hardest across all 10 Happy Hustle alignments. It’s not about being perfect. It’s about staying aligned, being intentional, and actually enjoying this wild ride called life.

    And if you’re an entrepreneur like me trying to grow your business without burning out, these lessons will resonate. Because honestly, most of them came from learning things the hard way. Fatherhood stretched me. Marriage humbled me. Health reminded me not to take shortcuts. Faith grounded me. Nature healed me. And business? Man… business taught me a ton about focus and what actually matters.

    A few of the biggest lessons I break down inside the episode:

    Giving to others is one of the fastest ways to fill yourself up—it’s crazy how true that is.
    Your health will humble you real quick if you neglect it (ask me how I know).
    Your attention is your most valuable currency, and your phone will steal it if you let it.
    If you want a 10-level partner, you’ve gotta be a 10-level partner—hard truth, but a game changer.
    And joy? Joy comes when you prioritize fun, passion, and presence… not just productivity.

    I also share why faith expanded for me this year, why nature remains my best medicine, and why focusing on margin over revenue has brought more peace and abundance into my world than ever before. These 36 lessons aren’t just motivational, they’re practical and immediately actionable.

    My hope is simple: If just one of these lessons helps you harmonize your ambition and your well-being…

    If just one truth gives you clarity, relief, inspiration, or direction…
    Then this episode did its job.

    So if you’re ready to reset, realign, and maybe laugh a little at my mistakes along the way, I’d be honored to have you join me for this birthday special.

  • Parasites & Other Hidden Toxins Crushing Your Performance (And How to Fix It) with Health Coach and Founder of The Detox Blueprint, Adam Parker

    Parasites & Other Hidden Toxins Crushing Your Performance (And How to Fix It) with Health Coach and Founder of The Detox Blueprint, Adam Parker
    Nov 25 2025
    Ever find yourself grinding harder and harder in your business… yet still feeling like you’re not scaling fast enough, earning enough, or leading at the level you know you’re capable of? Ever wake up feeling fine… but deep down you know you could feel way better? Like you’re operating at 70% and wondering what it would take to hit that full-bodied, clear-minded, energized 100% again? In this packed conversation of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I sit down with detox coach, speaker, and founder of The Detox Blueprint, Adam Parker. After years of battling mystery symptoms, burnout, hormone crashes, anxiety, and losing his sense of identity, Adam rebuilt his entire health from the inside out through one powerful approach — detoxification. Today, he’s on a mission to help over a million people reclaim their energy, clarity, and vitality by understanding how toxins affect the modern body and how to safely let them go. His work blends science, nature, practicality, and deep mindset mastery (shoutout to Bob Proctor!) — and the guy is truly living proof that healing is possible.In this episode, we walk through Adam’s raw journey from London corporate burnout to becoming a global leader in detox education, and he breaks down the daily disciplines, overlooked fundamentals, and simple tools anyone can start using to feel better fast. And trust me we go deep into things most “health hacks” never touch: bile flow, binders, parasites, mineral depletion, modern environmental toxins, meat stock, castor oil packs, and even the art of slowing down to cook as a form of meditation and healing.Here are some of the big takeaways you’ll get from this episode:Your body doesn’t just “break down” — it’s reacting to an environment it wasn’t designed for. Healing starts by creating space, not adding more stuff.Daily detox disciplines (like binders, minerals, sweating, and liver support) can radically change your energy, digestion, hormones, and mental clarity.Minerals are the spark plugs of your metabolism — and most people today are chronically deficient without knowing it.Digestive issues? Joint pain? Low energy? Sluggish bile flow and liver congestion are often the hidden root cause.Parasites, toxins, and heavy metals aren’t the enemy — they’re symptoms of a deeper terrain issue. Clean the terrain, and the body finally gets to do its job.You don’t need a 30-day cleanse to start feeling better — small nature-based actions stacked daily will move the needle massively.Adam also shares his favorite gut-healing foods, the power of meat stock, why most modern foods make us inflamed, how your environment shapes your health, and why reconnecting with nature (hello, camping trips!) is more than a luxury — it’s a human necessity.If you've been feeling “off,” fatigued, inflamed, puffy, anxious, or like you're only scratching the surface of your potential, this convo is your sign to tune in. Adam brings clarity, wisdom, and so many actionable gems that you’ll walk away ready to optimize your energy and show up as your best self in business and in life.Listen to the full episode now and start happy hustling your way to optimal health.What does Happy Hustlin mean to you? Adam says Happy hustling is doing things you love, being in service and just creating good energy for all. know, there's so many opportunities in this world for win-wins.Connect with Adamhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/thedetoxblueprinthttps://www.instagram.com/idealdayadam/https://www.linkedin.com/in/adamparker-uk/Find Adam on this website: https://youridealday.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.

  • Money, Meaning & Mindset with Serial Entrepreneur, WSJ Bestselling author & Founder of Fit Body Boot Camp, Bedros Keuilian

    Money, Meaning & Mindset with Serial Entrepreneur, WSJ Bestselling author & Founder of Fit Body Boot Camp, Bedros Keuilian
    Nov 21 2025

    Ever find yourself grinding harder and harder in your business… yet still feeling like you’re not scaling fast enough, earning enough, or leading at the level you know you’re capable of?

    Like you’re giving everything you’ve got—but something in your offer, your mindset, or your strategy just isn’t hitting?

    In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I’m resharing the Guest Guru Training that Bedros Keuilian delivered exclusively to our Happy Hustle Club and trust me, this is the kind of value most people pay five figures to access.

    If you don’t already know Bedros, he’s a Wall Street Journal bestselling author, the founder of the 500+ location Fit Body Bootcamp franchise, the creator of Trulean Wellness Shot (over 2M units sold), a serial investor, and one of the most in-demand high-performance coaches in the game. He’s also a husband, father, and one of the rawest, realest entrepreneurs you will ever learn from.

    This training is all about money, meaning, and mindset and Bedros doesn’t hold back. He breaks down the exact frameworks he’s used to build and scale multiple 8–9 figure companies, the mistakes that nearly took him out, and the three principles that helped him generate hundreds of millions over the last 15 years.

    He shares what it really takes to structure irresistible offers, why most entrepreneurs are drowning in commodity pricing, and how to dominate your niche by becoming the recognized authority (and eventually, the celebrity) in your space. You’ll hear behind-the-scenes stories from nearly exiting Fit Body Bootcamp right before the pandemic to cutting 90% of Trulene’s product line and accidentally uncovering his most profitable product ever.

    Here are a few key takeaways from the episode:
    Irresistible offers aren’t optional—they’re the backbone of high-profit businesses. If your offer isn’t a no-brainer, your customers won’t buy.

    Kill your darlings. Most entrepreneurs cling to products or ideas that drain profit and focus. Letting go is how you scale.

    Avoid the race to the bottom. Competing on price is death. Differentiate or disappear.

    Authority creates demand. Stop hiding behind your work—talk about it, create content, get on stages, get on podcasts. Authority makes sales easy.

    Invest in yourself first. Before real estate, crypto, or anything else—you are the highest ROI asset in your business.

    Bedros brings the heat, the strategy, and the mindset shifts every entrepreneur needs. If you’re ready to simplify your approach, dial in your offer, and scale with clarity and confidence.

  • The Anti-MBA Playbook: Build, Scale & Sell Your Biz Smarter with Serial entrepreneur with 3 multi-million-dollar exits and business strategist, David Guttman

    The Anti-MBA Playbook: Build, Scale & Sell Your Biz Smarter with Serial entrepreneur with 3 multi-million-dollar exits and business strategist, David Guttman
    Nov 18 2025
    Ever feel like you’re hustling nonstop but still wondering, “Why isn’t this moving faster?” Or maybe you've hit that invisible wall where the business is growing… yet somehow you’re not growing with it? In this episode of the Happy Hustle Podcast, I’m jammin’ with David Guttman, a serial entrepreneur, executive leader, and business strategist with over 35 years of building, scaling, and exiting multiple eight and nine-figure companies. This dude is a three-time Inc. 500 entrepreneur, has an undergrad in Computer Science from Brown University, an MBA from Wharton, and has led teams of hundreds while growing companies from near-bankruptcy to blockbuster exits. He’s lived the startup grind, the CEO pressure-cooker, the investor negotiations, the due diligence marathons — all of it.But what makes David so special isn’t the titles. He’s lived real adversity, made real money, lost real sleep, and came out with clarity, humility, and wisdom worth borrowing.In this episode, we dive into everything from raising capital to avoiding the trap of traditional education… from avoiding burnout to leveraging AI… from building healthier relationships to firing your worst customers. The breadth of knowledge he brings is crazy, but the heart behind it is even better.David breaks down the single biggest mistake entrepreneurs make when trying to raise money or prepare for an exit, failing to budget and forecast. He explains why “dollar cost average into Bitcoin” may be smarter than chasing shiny objects, why AI will replace those who don’t use it, and why authenticity beats any degree, credential, or fancy LinkedIn headline.Here are a few key takeaways from the episode:Your business is blind without a budget. If you’re not forecasting, tracking, and adjusting, you’re not running a company — you’re gambling. A real financial model acts like a crystal ball and boosts your valuation instantly.Mentorship beats an MBA every time. David explains why working for a powerhouse leader (even for free) will fast-track your growth more than any traditional education ever could.Fire your worst customers. They drain 80% of your energy and slow your growth. Raise your price until they leave — or until they become worth it.AI is the new calculator — ignore it and get left behind. Spend a couple hours a week learning and applying it, and you’ll leapfrog the competition. Avoid it, and you’ll get replaced.Authenticity wins the long game. The world is noisy. People trust people — not institutions. Build a personal brand rooted in truth, service, and value.David also breaks down the real reason businesses stall during acquisitions, how to build the right board of advisors, why fast “no’s” are better than slow “maybe’s,” and why success feels empty unless your relationships, health, and integrity stay intact along the way.This episode is for every entrepreneur who wants to scale without losing themselves. For every hustler who wants to work smarter, earn more, and still be present for the people who matter. And for every dreamer who knows there’s more in the tank, more impact, more purpose, more joy.If you’re ready to level up how you build, how you lead, and how you live, then you’ve gotta tune into this full conversation.
