  • 5 Proven Hacks to Optimize Your Body, Energy, and Longevity + The Medellin’ Mastermind Rundown with Cary Jack

    5 Proven Hacks to Optimize Your Body, Energy, and Longevity + The Medellin’ Mastermind Rundown with Cary Jack
    Sep 25 2026
    Are you optimizing everything in your business except the one asset that runs the whole show, you? Your sales funnel, your KPIs, your team, your marketing spend, all dialed in. But your sleep, your energy, your blood work? Yeah, probably not so much.In this solo episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, Cary Jack breaks down five ways to optimize your body and your mind so you can actually show up as the best version of yourself for your business, your family, and everything else that matters to you. He gets real about running on fumes with a six month old and a three year old going through sleep regressions, and why he still refuses to let his health slide even when life is chaos.Here's the big shift. Most entrepreneurs treat their health like an afterthought, something they'll get to once the business is "figured out." Cary flips that. He's saying your body is the machine that runs everything else, your creativity, your leadership, your marriage, your parenting. If that machine is running on empty, everything downstream suffers. You don't get to hustle happy if you're running on no sleep and garbage food, no matter how good your numbers look on paper.Energy equals performance. Cary walks through the basics that most people skip: real sleep, real nutrition, daily movement that actually gets your heart rate up, recovery tools like saunas and cold exposure, stress mitigation, and getting your blood work checked at least twice a year. He's not talking about a casual stroll and calling it a workout. He means breaking a sweat and breathing through your mouth, not just your nose.Know your numbers. Entrepreneurs track sales metrics and return on ad spend obsessively, but most of us have no idea what our own biomarkers look like. Cary's philosophy is simple, what gets measured gets managed. That means tracking blood work, hormones, body composition, sleep, and fitness the same way you'd track revenue.Recovery equals productivity. More hustle isn't always the answer. Cary compares your body to a high performance machine that still needs to reset, refuel, and reboot. That means real breath work, real meditation, mobility, and actual strategic downtime away from your phone and your inbox, not just collapsing on the couch scrolling.Health span beats lifespan. Living to a hundred means nothing if you're too scared to go outside or too busy grinding to spend time with the people you love. Cary's not chasing extra years, he's chasing extra life. Staying capable, staying strong, and being able to keep up with your kids and grandkids as you age matters way more than a number on a chart.Your environment changes everything. Who you surround yourself with matters, sure, but Cary makes the case that where you put yourself matters just as much. Put yourself around high performing people in the right environment and you get accountability, new perspectives, faster problem solving, and relationships that actually deepen. That's the whole reason he built his masterminds the way he did, no stuffy ballrooms, no facade, just real conversations and real growth.This episode isn't just a pep talk, it's a reminder that balance really does equal happiness. You can't pour into your business, your family, or your purpose from an empty tank. Taking care of yourself isn't selfish, it's the foundation everything else gets built on. If you've been grinding hard on your business and quietly neglecting your body, this one's your wake up call.If this episode hit home, go listen to the full thing and start putting these five shifts into practice.

    4 Crucial Investments Everyone Under 50 NEEDS To Make and How to Build Real Wealth while Enjoying the Journey with Dustin Bezalel President and Founder of Creative Financial Network
    Sep 29 2026
    Be honest with me for a second. If someone asked you right now what your retirement plan is, what would you say? If your gut answer is "Well, I'll sell the business someday," you're in good company. Most of us entrepreneurs are so locked in on the vision that the money side gets pushed to "later." I get it. Some days I just want to keep serving people and not even look at my bank account. But here's the truth that hit me hard in this conversation. Hoping isn't a plan. And no one's coming to save you.In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I sit down with my friend Dustin Bezalel, and man, this one's packed with money wisdom we never got taught in school. Dustin and I actually met at my brother-in-law Nick Hernandez's 40th birthday party, and within minutes I knew this guy gets it. He's a husband, a father of three, a man of faith, and someone who's genuinely crushing it both personally and professionally.Dustin is the president and founder of Creative Financial Network, an independent financial, risk, and wealth management firm based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. What I love about his story is that finance wasn't his first love. Food was. He's got a culinary arts degree and spent years working high end hotel catering, pulling 17 hour days without seeing the financial reward. So about 21 years ago he made the leap into financial services and never looked back. Today his firm has close to a thousand agents and advisors, and his mission is simple. Help people win at home and win in business. A lot of his drive comes from watching his mom work so hard to raise him and his brother through financial struggle. Instead of letting that become an excuse, he turned it into fuel.This episode matters because so many high performers are quietly struggling behind the scenes. The social media highlight reel looks great, but the finances tell a different story. Dustin sees it all the time with successful CEOs who close the door and admit they haven't prepared at all. This conversation gives you a clear, honest starting point, whether you're just figuring out the money game or ready to play it at a higher level.The first big lesson is that procrastination is the real enemy. Dustin shared a stat that stopped me in my tracks. About 85% of business owners won't be able to retire if they can't sell their business. That's a massive gamble to make with your future. His fix is refreshingly simple. Pay yourself first, just like you pay your rent, your electric bill, or your team. When you do that consistently, compound interest starts working for you instead of you working for everyone else's wealth.The second lesson is to diversify in three ways, not just one. Most people only think about diversifying investments, but Dustin breaks it into risk, tax, and liquidity. Risk means making sure a market drop doesn't wipe you out, especially as you get closer to your later working years. Tax means thinking about when you pay taxes, not just how much, using tools like a mega backdoor Roth or permanent life insurance so your growth isn't taxed later. Liquidity means having money you can actually access now for opportunities or emergencies. And when it comes to an emergency fund, Dustin goes more conservative than most. He likes six to twelve months of expenses. Plan for the worst and hope for the best, not the other way around.The third lesson is knowing your four protectors based on your stage of life. If you're under 50, Dustin says you want life insurance so your family is taken care of, disability coverage so income keeps flowing if you can't work, a plan for your kids' college if they choose that path, and a retirement plan where you're saving around 10% of your earnings. If you're 50 or older, the focus shifts to preserving your capital, creating guaranteed household income for life, planning for long term care, and deciding what kind of legacy you want to leave. I loved how clear and practical this was.The fourth lesson is that strategy beats emotion every single time. Dustin calls himself a financial psychologist for his clients, and honestly that made so much sense to me. Entrepreneurs are emotional people. When times are tough, we panic. When times are great, we're tempted to buy a shiny toy that doesn't make us a dime. Dustin talked about how taxi companies never saw Uber and Lyft coming, which is exactly why you can't bet everything on one business. His firm doesn't do day trading or chase get rich quick ideas. It's about building a strategy that fits your season of life, revisiting it regularly, and sticking with it. Like losing weight, it comes down to consistent diet and exercise, not shortcuts.The fifth lesson is to water every plant, every day. This one really landed for me because I burned out as a tech entrepreneur by letting everything except work die off. Dustin waters three plants daily. His family, his business, and himself. Every Sunday he meal preps for the whole family, reviews his finances, and looks back ...

  • Hike & Pod! How to Build a Business You Love Without Burning Out with Founder of Slashdev.io, Michael Ballard

    Hike & Pod! How to Build a Business You Love Without Burning Out with Founder of Slashdev.io, Michael Ballard
    Oct 2 2026
    Have you ever been so deep in the day to day grind of building your business that you forgot why you started in the first place?It happens fast. You’re chasing goals, answering messages, working on the next project, and trying to grow. Before you know it, your business is getting more of you than your health, family, relationships, and the life you’re actually trying to create.In this special episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I’m coming to you straight from the Montana backcountry for our first ever Montana Mastermind hike and pod. No studio. No fancy setup. Just nature, good people, real conversations, and a chance to unplug from the noise.I sit down with my brother Michael Ballard, an entrepreneur and software development business owner originally from Sequim, Washington, who has spent the past eight years living in Stockholm, Sweden. Michael and his team work on mobile apps, websites, and AI implementations, helping bring technology driven ideas to life.But this conversation goes way beyond software and entrepreneurship.Michael shares why getting away from the computer and spending time in nature helps him zoom out and think about the bigger picture. When you’re constantly caught in the tactics of running a business, it’s easy to lose sight of what you actually want your life to look like.We talk about one of Michael’s biggest pieces of business advice, do what you love. His belief is simple. It’s incredibly difficult to become great at something you don’t actually enjoy doing.We also get into personal growth and what it means to continually work on becoming a better man. Michael talks about following a virtuous path, getting clear on what you want from life, and making sure your daily actions line up with your ambitions.When it comes to health, Michael keeps things practical. Exercise matters, but nutrition is where he believes many people miss the mark. He focuses on getting quality nutrition, prioritizing protein, managing calorie intake, and maintaining a healthy weight.Then we talk money.Michael shares how consistently saving and investing helped give him something he didn’t grow up with, financial security. Building a financial cushion gave him peace of mind knowing that even if his business stopped making money, he could still take care of his family.His advice is to start saving, understand what you’re investing in, and give your money time to work for you.We also dive into spirituality and connection. Michael uses yoga, movement, prayer, visualization, and time away from devices to reconnect with himself and something greater. Rather than only sitting still to meditate, he finds connection through movement and intentionally stepping away from screens.One of the biggest themes of this conversation is something every entrepreneur needs to hear.You don’t have to grind yourself into the ground to become successful.You don’t have to sacrifice your family or the people you love just to build a bigger business.Business and money can create a foundation. They can give you freedom and flexibility. But the point is to use that freedom to spend time with people you love, do things you genuinely enjoy, get outside, have epic adventures, and actually live.A few takeaways from this episode:Do work you genuinely love. It’s difficult to give your best to something you don’t care about.Build financial security one step at a time. Saving and investing consistently can create more freedom and peace of mind for you and your family.Take your health seriously. Nutrition, protein, movement, and maintaining a healthy weight can have a massive impact on how you show up.Get away from your devices. Time in nature can help you step out of the daily tactics and reconnect with the bigger picture.Don’t sacrifice your entire life for your business. Entrepreneurship should help create more freedom to enjoy your family, relationships, adventures, and the experiences that actually matter.As Michael puts it, “Living the dream.”We only get one life, Happy Hustlers. Build the business. Make the money. Take care of your health. But don’t forget to actually enjoy the ride.If you’re an entrepreneur who’s been stuck in grind mode, this conversation is your reminder to zoom out, unplug, and reconnect with what you’re really building all of this for.Listen to the full episode at https://happyhustle.com/podcast and keep Happy Hustlin’.What does Happy Hustlin' mean to you?For Michael happy hustlin' means you don’t have to grind yourself into the ground. You don’t have to sacrifice family and loved ones.Connect with Michaelhttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100076038248142https://www.instagram.com/slashdev.iohttps://www.youtube.com/@slashdevio/featuredhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/slashdev-io/Find Michael on this website: https://slashdev.io/Connect with Cary!https://www.instagram.com/caryjack/https://www.facebook.com/SirCaryJackhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cary-jack-kendzior/...
