We’ve turned intuition into a buzzword—flattened it into a slogan, a gut feeling, or a vague whisper we don’t always know how to hear. But what if intuition is so much more? What if it's one of the most powerful tools we have—and we’ve just forgotten how to use it? In this episode, I’m joined by Hrund Gunnsteinsdóttir , Icelandic thought leader, filmmaker, and author of InnSæi: Icelandic Wisdom for Turbulent Times . Hrund has spent over 20 years studying and teaching the science and art of intuition through her TED Talk, Netflix documentary (InnSæi: The Power of Intuition), and global work on leadership, innovation, and inner knowing. Together, we explore what intuition really is (hint: not woo-woo), how to cultivate it in a culture obsessed with logic and overthinking, and why your ability to listen to yourself might be the most essential skill you can develop. In This Episode, We Cover: ✅ Why we’ve misunderstood intuition—and how to reclaim it ✅ Practical ways to strengthen your intuitive muscle ✅ What Icelandic wisdom teaches us about inner knowing ✅ How to use intuition during uncertainty and decision-making ✅ Why trusting yourself is an act of rebellion (and power) Intuition isn’t magic—it’s a deep, internal guidance system that already exists inside you. The question is: are you listening?

Jacob Gooden: Why Now’s the Easiest (and Most Overwhelming!) Time to Create Content 50:26

לפני 6 weeks50:26

50:26

Starting a podcast or creating content today can feel easy but also confusing. There are more options and tools than ever before! On this episode of Hustle and Flowchart, I sat down with Jacob Gooden, the guy who makes sure our show sounds and looks good, and who helps all kinds of creators with their podcasts and content. Jacob has years of experience running podcasts, editing content, using smart tools like Descript and Castmagic, and guiding new creators on where to focus. You don’t need fancy equipment to get started anymore. In our talk, Jacob shared his journey from wanting to be a podcaster for years, sitting on an idea, to finally launching his own podcast. We covered how to figure out your “why,” how to get content ideas out of your head, which tools are the easiest to use, and how staying consistent can help you reach more people. Whether you’re a solo creator, a business owner, or just someone who wants to try making a show for fun, this episode breaks down what you need to know. We also talked about why you shouldn’t worry about being everywhere, how to scale your workflow, and tips for getting help as your show grows. Getting Started as a Content Creator Jacob Gooden explained that now is the easiest time ever to be a content creator. Phones in our pockets work as cameras and microphones. Free and cheap apps do what once took expensive studios. But, with so many tools and platforms—TikTok, podcasts, blogs, YouTube, and more—it can make your head spin about where to start. Key points: Use what you have. You don’t need a giant budget to start. Try different things, see what sticks, and learn as you go. Commit to starting, even if it looks rough (“start ugly” is the motto from Chris Krimitsos). Phones work great to record your first episodes or videos. Finding Your Why and Picking the Show Type Before you make your show, get clear about why you want to create and what you’ll talk about. Jacob shared how he sat on a podcast idea for years, thinking about different topics. He didn’t want to make just another “people talking on a couch” show. During COVID, old friends inspired him to finally start a podcast about being homeschooled and how it shaped who he is now. Takeaways: Ask yourself: Why are you making this show? Who should it help or connect with? Be honest and specific with your purpose. Jacob's current podcast helps other homeschoolers, parents, and anyone curious about homeschooling. Your show’s goal can change over time. Jacob’s podcast got deeper and more meaningful as he produced more episodes. It’s normal for your first ideas to change. Keep checking in with yourself about your intentions. The Best Tools and Gear (Without Breaking the Bank) Many people wait too long to start because they worry about not having fancy gear. Jacob and I both think you should just start with what you have and upgrade as you go along. Important advice: A phone is enough to begin recording both audio and video. Use free or budget-friendly apps like Riverside.fm, Zoom, or the built-in camera app. “Start ugly” and don’t worry about perfection. If you want to upgrade, get a better microphone (Jacob likes the Shure MV7) and later a dedicated camera, but the phone is great for most people. “Just pull the thing that’s in your pocket, your phone, and start figuring out how to use this to make something—that’s what’s incredible,” Jacob said. Easy Editing and Workflow Tips Editing can feel hard when you’re new, but with tools like Descript, it gets way easier. Jacob walked through his editing process and shared some tricks: Descript lets you edit audio and video like fixing a Word doc. Delete “ums,” filler words, long pauses, or bad takes quickly. Recording your show into Descript or uploading files there makes editing easier for beginners. Use Descript’s “edit for clarity” tool to automatically find and keep your best takes. Jacob explained how he does edits in two passes: a fast “rough cut” to get rid of big problems, then a slower “final touch” to polish things up. If you’re solo, editing may take longer at first, but you get faster. You can keep your editing process simple if you just want to share helpful conversations or ideas—don’t sweat the fancy edits early on. Turning Your Ideas into Great Podcast Episodes Many creators get stuck trying to organize their ideas. Jacob uses a fast way: He records voice notes while walking and thinking, then uses Otter.ai to turn those voice notes into written text. Tips to turn your ideas into shows: Use Otter.ai to transcribe your thoughts. Feed transcripts into ChatGPT, Perplexity, or similar tools to pull out main questions and episode ideas. Prepare episode outlines and questions by having AI organize or expand your raw thoughts. Don’t rush. Good prep at the start makes recording and editing way easier. Jacob: “I walk and talk, record myself saying my thoughts out loud, then get everything transcribed. Then I can ask AI to distill the ideas and build outlines for my episodes.” Using AI and Automation to Save Time AI can help you build content quickly and keep things organized. Jacob and I both use ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Castmagic to speed up show notes, blog posts, and more. Key points: ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini are all useful for planning shows, prepping outlines, or writing posts. Castmagic turns your episode audio into blog posts, show notes, and titles—automatically, using custom prompts. AI is a tool, not a replacement for your voice. Always review and adjust AI-generated content. Building prompts for AI tools saves time: Build a repeatable instruction or “prompt” for each show or task. Jacob: “If you don’t want to pay for a bunch of tools, you can still do it for free by creating some good prompts. I keep prompts organized for every show I help run.” Where Should You Post Your Content? Don’t try to be everywhere at once. Focus where you can make the biggest impact and stay consistent: The biggest podcast platform by listening hours is now YouTube, with over 1 billion hours per month. Spotify is number two and has added strong video features. Apple Podcasts is number three. Even if you choose one platform to begin, make sure you capture high-quality video (most people watch on smart TVs now!). Expand to other places only when you have time or get help. Balancing Consistency, Fun, and Growth Making content should stay fun and not become a source of burnout. Jacob talked about how trying to do too much—being everywhere at once, launching extras, or pushing yourself to exhaustion—hurts your work. Best advice: Focus on just the core tasks you can do well. Jacob produces his podcast weekly, posts to his favorite channels, and writes one newsletter. Pick a pace that fits your life and goals. Don’t worry about missing out on every trend. As you get faster and want to grow, invite others to help with edits, posting, or making visuals. Have fun! People will be more drawn to honest, happy energy than a perfect but joyless show.

Don’t waste time waiting for perfect gear. Focus on capturing your ideas, find your authentic reason for making the show, and use simple tools to get started. AI can help prepare, edit, and promote your show, but your voice and real stories matter most. Staying focused, having a clear “why,” and only adding new steps as you’re ready helps keep your show fun and sustainable. If you only remember a few things: Use the equipment and tools you already have. Stay consistent, even if it looks “ugly” at first. Use AI and automation to reduce busywork. Don’t lose sight of having fun—do what excites you most. Jacob is happy to help listeners who want extra support.

Jon Staenberg: How Small Business Acquisition is Driving the Economy! 59:59

לפני 8 weeks59:59

In this podcast episode, Joe Fier and Jon Staenberg explore the emerging landscape of search funds, a transformative and under-the-radar investment opportunity. As they discuss the impact of the "silver tsunami" and technological advancements, Jon highlights the potential for this small business aquisition to drive entrepreneurial growth. Reflecting on lessons from industry giants like Warren Buffett, Jon shares insights from his career journey and emphasizes the importance of constant reinvention to thrive in today’s rapidly evolving business environment. What is a Search Fund? Jon Staenberg explains that a search fund is a unique investment model where individuals or teams raise capital to search for and acquire a business. This model allows individuals, often fresh out of business school, to purchase companies with strong potential and lead them to growth and success. The concept was initially taught at schools like Stanford and Harvard, and its popularity is spreading across the globe. The Rise and Benefits of Search Funds Jon highlights the growing trend of baby boomers retiring and the opportunity it presents for buying businesses. Small businesses with established market presence and potential for improvement are ripe for acquisition. This situation creates a "silver tsunami" of opportunities. Search funds target companies within the $2 to $5 million EBITDA range, making them accessible yet highly profitable investments. Jon's Path to Creating Agate Hound Jon shares his journey into creating Agate Hound, his fund that supports search funds. He emphasizes the importance of investing in funds that have a well-thought-out playbook, ensuring systematic success in acquiring and managing businesses. For him, it's crucial to have passionate entrepreneurs, buy the right businesses, and have a strong support network. The Role of AI and Modern Technologies Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays a significant role in Jon’s current ventures. AI helps showcase the potential of technology in transforming and running businesses more efficiently. AI can aid in everything from making business processes smoother to offering innovative solutions and creative ideas for business growth. Investing in Boring but Profitable Businesses Jon believes in investing in so-called "boring" businesses, like pool cleaning companies or accounting firms. These businesses might not be flashy, but they provide steady income and reliable returns. Search funds capitalize on these opportunities, bringing fresh energy and modern strategies to well-established enterprises. Jon’s Motivation and Future Plans Jon remains focused on growing the search fund model, seeing it as a valuable asset for investors seeking solid, long-term growth. He sees his role not just as an investor but as a mentor, helping new business leaders to navigate through acquisitions successfully. Getting Involved with Search Funds For those interested in the world of search funds, Jon recommends starting with educational resources like the Stanford primer on search funds. Numerous books and podcasts can also provide valuable insights.

The episode underlines the potential of traditional businesses combined with innovative strategies for those ready to rethink their investment approaches. As Jon emphasizes the value of alignment and a solid support system, listeners can explore how search funds might offer new pathways to business success. This episode was packed with valuable insights into the innovative world of search funds and how they are capturing new opportunities in the business landscape. Jon Staenberg’s passion for entrepreneurship shines through, giving you plenty to ponder and explore further.

Dr. Pamela Smith: Hormones Are the Secret to Entrepreneurial Success! 53:02

לפני 9 weeks53:02

53:02

Hormones play a crucial role in both men's and women's health. I recently had the pleasure of chatting with Dr. Pamela Smith on the Hustle and Flowchart podcast about this important topic, especially focusing on male hormones and how they affect entrepreneurs like us. Dr. Smith shared valuable insights on hormonal balance and its connection to our health, energy, and ability to stay productive in our busy lives. Let's dive into the key points we discussed in the episode. What The Episode Is About In this episode, Dr. Pamela Smith sheds light on the importance of hormones for both men and women. Most of us often neglect understanding how vital hormones are in maintaining our memory, preventing diseases, supporting our immune systems, and overall physical and mental well-being. Dr. Smith not only talks about male hormones but also explains the interconnectedness of male and female hormonal health. Alongside hormone replacement for men, she delves into the role of estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, cortisol, and thyroid hormones in the body. Importance of Hormones Hormones help us think clearly, feel good, and remain motivated. Aging naturally affects hormone levels, but several factors like the environment, toxins, and stress can disrupt hormonal balance. As Dr. Smith points out, many men in their 30s now have low testosterone levels, which used to be uncommon. This hormonal imbalance influences our physical health, mental clarity, and energy levels. Estrogen's Role in Men Though predominantly seen as a female hormone, estrogen is also present and necessary in men. It supports memory, bone structure, and prevents erectile dysfunction. However, Dr. Smith warns that too much estrogen in men can increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. It's crucial for men to maintain estrogen at normal levels, neither too high nor too low. Understanding Progesterone and Testosterone Progesterone in men supports nerve health and hormone balance. It also helps prevent high levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which can enlarge the prostate and increase heart disease risk. Testosterone is misunderstood as just the sexual interest hormone. Dr. Smith emphasizes that it is essential for energy, muscle mass, lowering cholesterol, and supporting overall mental health. The Impact of Aging and Toxins on Hormones As we age, hormonal dysfunction increases due to various external factors. The rise of toxins like BPAs and microplastics affects testosterone levels. Julie highlighted surprising statistics: a woman who breaks a hip has a 50% chance of not walking for a year, and a man, 50% chance of dying within a year, underscoring the seriousness of bone health in men which is influenced by hormones. Personalized Medicine Approach The power of personalized medicine cannot be overstated. Unlike conventional treatments, personalized medicine precisely targets individual needs for optimal health results. The science Dr. Smith practices tailors for individuals— as evident with hormones, where no two patients receive identical treatments. This approach ensures balance in hormone replacement and nutrition. The Importance of Thyroid and Insulin Dr. Smith outlines the importance of the thyroid, the "conductor" organ for our entire system. Insulin balance is paramount too. High or low levels are common, but the key markers, like fasting blood sugar and insulin levels, are crucial for preventing diabetes, heart disease, and certain cancers. The connection between testosterone regulation and insulin balance was also elucidated. Resources from Dr. Pamela Smith Website Books Email Dr. Pamela Smith at faafm63@yahoo.com MDLifespan Get your Personalized Medicine Certification Concluding Thoughts Hormonal health significantly influences our lives as entrepreneurs. Through personalized health strategies, promoting awareness, and owning our health metrics can lead to our well-being and prolonged productivity. Dr. Pam Smith's insights offer a deeper understanding of the holistic approach to maintaining our hormonal balance and protecting against inflammation-driven diseases.

Why Human Creators Are the Backbone of AI 14:25

לפני 10 weeks14:25

14:25

Welcome to the Hustle and Flowchart podcast! I'm Joe Fier, and today we talk about how human creators like you are at the heart of AI. We also explore how to use AI to spread your ideas further. Together, let's dive into why your creativity is key in this world filled with AI tools. AI can't exist without human creators. You and I, we are the ones creating content—books, blogs, videos, and even social media posts. This content builds the foundation for AI tools like Chat GPT and Claude to work. But here's the exciting part—AI helps us be even more creative! So, let's explore how you can make the most of AI in your work. How AI Depends on Human Creators AI relies on what we create. Our words, ideas, and life perspectives fuel the AI engine. AI's knowledge comes from the data sets we provide. It's crucial to remember that without our creativity, AI wouldn't have anything to work with. AI as Your Creative Partner Think of AI like a friend who helps brainstorm and refine your ideas. Tools such as Chat GPT and Claude can help you make entire drafts of new content. This feels like having a creative buddy who's always ready to help. It's not only about creating—AI can also help you grow and connect with more people. Building Customized Digital Minds Imagine creating a digital version of yourself with AI. Platforms like Delphi.ai let you do this by emulating your voice and knowledge. This helps you not only create but also scale your work, making it easier to share with others. My experience with Delphi.ai shows how powerful this can become. The Changing Value Chain Lots of money goes into AI technologies and platforms like OpenAI and Google. But remember, their value comes from us creators! Even if we don't always feel valued, it's important to leverage technology based on our shared knowledge. Doing this helps us reclaim our spot in the value chain. Human Creativity is Irreplaceable AI remixes our ideas, but it doesn't innovate from scratch. Humans dream, hope, and connect emotionally. That's what makes us irreplaceable. When we use AI to improve and connect ideas, it helps make our work understandable and relatable to others. The Power of AI and Human Connection I'm excited by what AI can do, but it's the human connection that matters most. Using AI tools like Chat GPT and Claude allows us to reach people across the globe. It’s about enhancing our ideas to connect in ways that suit everyone. Your creativity leads the way in this AI-driven world. Conclusion: A Future with AI and Humans Working Together The future isn't about AI replacing humans. It's about both working together. Embrace what excites you and share your ideas with others. With AI, you have tools to expand your impact. Dive into AI and let’s thrive together. Share your thoughts and experiences on how you're using AI. Exciting times are ahead! Remember, it's AI and humans, hand-in-hand, making a difference in the world. Until next time, keep creating and exploring new ways to expand your reach! Two Other Episodes You Should Check Out Matt Wolfe: How AI Will Transform Your Content Marketing!

Gregory Shepard: The Real Reason 90% of Startups Fail! 1:06:33

1:06:33

This episode of Hustle and Flowchart takes us on an exciting journey with Gregory Shephard, a successful entrepreneur and investor. Gregory shares his experiences from starting and investing in multiple businesses, offering listeners practical advice about the startup world. He discusses his new book, "The Startup Lifecycle," explaining the common missteps founders make and how to avoid them. Gregory is passionate about helping entrepreneurs succeed without skipping essential steps. Gregory outlines the critical phases of a startup, from envisioning the company's purpose to exiting the business successfully. In these conversations, he mentions compelling statistics, like the fact that almost half of startups fail within their first year. With these insights, Gregory aims to guide founders through early pitfalls that can lead to failure. Introduction to Gregory Shephard Meeting Gregory Shephard again was a pleasure. As a fellow entrepreneur from San Diego, he brings a wealth of knowledge. Having been involved in numerous startups and investments, Gregory offers valuable insights into business growth and sustainability. His enthusiasm for helping founders succeed shines through in his advice and strategies. The Importance of Having a Clear Vision Gregory stresses the importance of having a clear vision when starting a business. Without a roadmap, founders can find themselves lost and making rash decisions. He compares this to taking a road trip without a map – you might miss important stops, detours, or gas refuels. Defining your "North Star" helps guide a company through its lifecycle by connecting where you are with where you want to go. Navigating the Startup Lifecycle Gregory's book, "The Startup Lifecycle," outlines the stages vital for a startup: Vision, Product, Go-to-Market, Standardization, Optimization, Growth, and Exit. From creating a prototype to commercializing it, Gregory explains the importance of each stage. He emphasizes that standardization, often overlooked, is crucial for maintaining high margins as a startup scales. Gregory introduces concepts like "up and out" and common pitfalls in team management to further illustrate his points. The Dangers of Overvaluing and Over-Investing The conversation covers the "capital trap" where startups overvalue themselves when raising funds. This leads to pressure from investors for returns that might be unrealistic. Founders could face challenges sustaining growth while trying to meet high monetary expectations. Gregory advises achieving profitability early on and maintaining it to avoid these traps. This approach may result in slower growth but fosters sustainability and control. Personal Challenges and Growth Gregory shares his personal philosophy on conquering challenges. By venturing on daring quests yearly, he exposes himself to situations he initially thought impossible. Whether wrestling alligators or preparing for a trip to space, Gregory learns persistence and resilience in the face of adversity.

Eric Jorgenson: Becoming A Self-Made Author 57:57

לפני 12 weeks57:57

57:57

In this gripping episode of Hustle and Flowchart, we delve into the remarkable journey of Eric Jorgenson, the mastermind behind "The Almanac of Naval Ravikant." Eric, now the CEO of Scribe Media, shares an extraordinary tale of revival from chaos, rebuilding trust and redefining how books are crafted and self-made authors are created. If you've ever considered writing a book or are intrigued by pathways to personal and professional transformation, this episode is a goldmine. Buckle up as we explore Eric's world, where opportunities are seized, and traditional publishing norms are shattered, all while drawing inspiration from the wisdom of Naval Ravikant. Eric's Role at Scribe Media Eric Jorgenson serves as CEO of Scribe Media, where he juggles different projects. He admits that managing these tasks is challenging but focuses on synergies rather than distractions. Opportunity well handled, he says, leads to more opportunity. The Story of Scribe Scribe Media was co-founded by Tucker Max and Zach Obront. Tucker, a well-known author, originally used his talents to help others navigate the confusing publishing world. Scribe grew rapidly, but when the original founders left, mismanagement led to bankruptcy. Eric, having published his first book with Scribe, found himself caught up in the chaos. He felt a responsibility to save the company that helped him so much. Trust Building Post-Bankruptcy Eric emphasizes that trust can't be asked for, only earned. The focus for Scribe is now to do stellar work and let that speak for itself. He believes in rebuilding trust by doing what you say you will do, consistently. This isn't about asking for trust, but rather earning it through actions and reliability. The Model of Scribe Media Scribe Media takes the opposite approach of traditional publishing. Unlike big publishers that offer advances and retain most rights and royalties, Scribe charges a flat rate. Authors make the creative decisions, keep all rights, and retain all royalties. This means more royalties for the author in the long run, especially if you sell many books, like David Goggins. Instead of relying on media appearances, books now are sold primarily on platforms like Amazon, highlighting the significance of authors owning their work. The Importance of Books in a Digital World A book can act as a powerful marketing tool. It allows professionals to demonstrate their expertise and connect with potential clients. For instance, Paul Franco used his book to reach a niche audience, leading directly to business opportunities. A well-written book goes beyond mere sales. It offers credibility and establishes authority. AI in Book Writing AI can assist in the initial stages of writing but isn't perfect for long-form prose. Scribe helps authors by interviewing them, pulling out stories and key points to capture the book’s essence. While AI can pose as a support tool, Eric believes that human touch is still pivotal for creating truly impactful content. AI offers options like proofreading and brainstorming and can accelerate the drafting process. Naval Ravikant's Influence Naval's perspectives deeply influence Eric. He appreciates Naval’s view that happiness is a skill rather than just a choice. Eric has adopted these nuggets into his daily life, like appreciating simple moments. However, he also notes areas where he might diverge from Naval, particularly around the responsibilities we hold towards other people's happiness. The CEO Journey and Personal Fulfillment Eric has held multiple titles, including author and investor, and has learned to focus on being continuously “in motion.” There’s no finish line, only a state of being content and peaceful amidst activity. He wishes to become better at balancing productivity and peace, aiming for a fulfilling life journey rather than just reaching a destination. In this episode, Eric shared his journey, his role in saving Scribe Media, and the considerable impact of having a book written. Whether you're considering writing a book or developing personal philosophies, this episode offered rich insights into how books can serve as both professional tools and personal reflections. For those looking to better understand the business and personal satisfaction, Eric’s path provides a lot to learn from.

Dr. Alok Trivedi: Rewiring Your Brain for Wealth and Purpose! 53:13

לפני 13 weeks53:13

53:13

Dr. Alok Trivedi, known as Dr. Rewire, joined me for an insightful conversation that shifted the way we view traditional healthcare and approaches to personal development. His journey from a busy clinic to a unique focus on rewiring the brain emphasizes how our thoughts influence our health, success, and overall well-being. Dr. Trivedi shared inspiring stories, including his personal challenges and how he overcame them by adjusting his mindset and behavioral patterns. Dr. Trivedi's Journey Dr. Trivedi began his career in personal training, physical therapy, and chiropractic school. Although he achieved success, he realized that many of his patients' problems stemmed from their emotions and beliefs. When a recurring patient showed pain relief by simply answering questions about stressors in his life, Dr. Trivedi found his new passion. He transitions from physical treatment to helping clients rewire their brains to address their challenges. The Power of the Mind Dr. Trivedi argues that the brain holds the key to controlling physical health. By addressing emotional and mental hurdles, he believes individuals can solve physical pains and achieve personal success. Through his method known as rewiring, Dr. Trivedi shows how changing thought patterns can lead to better health and life situations. One of his clients, an Emmy-winning friend, found renewed success and happiness through Dr. Trivedi's system. Traditional Goal Setting vs. Neurological Approach Dr. Trivedi criticizes traditional goal setting, such as SMART goals, for failing to consider the brain's natural processes. He explains that ambitious goals often lead to stress and dissatisfaction. By focusing on smaller, manageable improvements, individuals avoid the neurological rollercoaster of dopamine spikes and crashes. Instead of setting goals that "scare you," Dr. Trivedi promotes sustainable, incremental progress. Five Pillars of Health Achieving health and well-being requires more than just physical fitness. Dr. Trivedi emphasizes the importance of five pillars: mind, body, diet, sleep, and wealth. Starting with mental clarity and a balanced diet leads to restful sleep and physical health, ultimately culminating in true wealth—both financial and emotional. He stresses the need to manage stress and maintain balance to prevent chronic health issues. Personalized Health and the Brain DNA Test Understanding personal genetics plays a crucial role in optimizing health. Dr. Trivedi offers a Brain DNA test that analyzes an individual's genetic predispositions to various neurotransmitters. This personalized approach helps tailor lifestyle and dietary choices to one's unique genetic code, leading to better health and happiness. Links: Brain DNA Test Dr. Rewire Website Dr. Rewire Instagram Daily Practices for Balance and Success Dr. Trivedi advocates for a structured daily routine to ensure a balance between work, personal wellness, and family. Break the day into manageable parts, starting with self-care (mindfulness, exercise), work, family time, and finally, some personal downtime. This routine helps regulate stress levels and keeps the mind focused and calm. In closing, Dr. Trivedi imparts that rewiring the brain is a viable path to personal transformation, allowing us to control emotions, reduce stress, and lead healthier, more fulfilling lives.

Dr. Paul Savage: Are You A Toxic Entrepreneur? 1:02:46

לפני 14 weeks1:02:46

1:02:46

Dr. Paul Savage returns to discuss the invisible threat of toxins on Hustle and Flowchart. Having spent three decades in the medical field, Dr. Savage shares his journey from a stressed ER doctor to a leading figure in health optimization. This episode focuses on how toxins affect our health, the importance of measuring them, and ways to combat these threats using innovative solutions like plasma exchange. Join us as we delve into the steps for a healthier lifestyle and the groundbreaking efforts led by Dr. Savage to address these issues. Dr. Paul Savage’s Journey Dr. Paul Savage started his career as an ER doctor in Detroit, working long, stressful hours and neglecting his health. By the end of his ten-year stint, his weight had increased drastically, and he was on multiple medications due to poor lifestyle choices exacerbated by stress. This tough lesson prompted him to pursue better health practices. He went back to school, learned about nutrition, exercise, and wellbeing, and underwent a drastic health transformation. As he adopted healthier habits, he realized the need to educate others on maintaining good health and founded BodyLogic MD, which expanded to 70 centers nationwide, focusing on nutrition, exercise, and hormone replacement. Understanding Toxins and Their Impact Toxins have become a pervasive threat, with more than 50,000 different substances in the environment and 200 billion tons of chemicals used annually in the United States. Dr. Savage explains how everyday items, from the food we eat to the air we breathe, are contaminated with dangerous chemicals. For instance, water is identified as the number one source of toxins. The alarming stats reveal that these substances lead to serious health issues, including cancer, heart disease, and early-onset Alzheimer's. Dr. Savage stresses that toxins often exist invisibly in our bodies, with symptoms manifesting as severe diseases. The Importance of Measuring Toxins To combat these invisible threats, Dr. Savage emphasizes the necessity of measuring toxins in our body. On average, people now carry 13 toxins above optimum levels compared to just three a decade ago. Testing can help identify specific toxins, guiding effective treatment plans. This helps prevent severe health outcomes by taking action based on individual toxin levels. Dr. Savage offers a comprehensive test at MD Lifespan to assess toxin presence in urine, pinpointing specific substances affecting health. Innovative Solutions: Plasma Exchange Plasma exchange offers a novel solution to removing multiple toxins from the body. Dr. Savage describes it as an "oil change" for humans, where plasma is replaced with a clean version, albumin, enabling the body to regenerate non-toxic plasma. This process, repeated several times, effectively reduces toxin levels. Research supports its efficacy in slowing or reversing the progression of diseases like Alzheimer's. These procedures offer transformative potential for managing or reversing damage by eliminating the buildup of harmful substances. Avoiding Toxins in Daily Life Dr. Savage outlines practical steps for minimizing toxin exposure. He recommends filtering water, cleaning the air at home, and choosing toxin-free foods. He also provides guides on cleaning up one’s living environment available on MD Lifespan's website. Awareness and proactive changes are vital to reducing toxin intake, coupled with measuring one's toxicity levels. Simple actions, such as using HEPA filters and reverse osmosis water filters, can drastically reduce exposure. The Role of Entrepreneurs in Raising Awareness Dr. Savage calls for entrepreneurs to help spread awareness about the toxin crisis and its health impacts. As key change-makers, they can leverage their platforms to educate and inform larger communities. Highlighting the need for research and advocacy, Dr. Savage invites support for ongoing studies and projects to further validate and improve treatments like plasma exchange. The entrepreneurial community's engagement is crucial for amplifying this urgent message and initiating change on a larger scale. Resources from Dr. Paul Savage Get yourself tested for toxins with our special link: mdlifespan.com/hustle and use code FLOW Find more about the work Dr. Savage does at MD Lifespan See what the Plasma Exchange looks like HERE Conclusion Dr. Paul Savage shed light on the looming crisis of toxins affecting health globally. By measuring toxin levels and adopting preventive measures, individuals can safeguard their health before the first symptom, which could be a severe disease, appears. Dr. Savage’s work at MD Lifespan, including cutting-edge solutions like plasma exchange, presents a compelling case for proactive health management. This episode underscores the urgent need for awareness and action, making it essential listening for anyone invested in maintaining long-term wellbeing and health. Dr. Savage's insights push us to prioritize wellness and prepare for a healthier future.

James Barry: How Ancestral Foods Can Transform Your Life 1:03:53

לפני 15 weeks1:03:53

1:03:53

Today, I had the pleasure of chatting with James Barry, an amazing guest who accomplished something many thought was impossible—taking the healthiest superfoods on the planet and making them delicious and easy to eat. James used to be a celebrity chef and has cooked for some of the biggest names like George Clooney and Tom Cruise. As we explored the world of food and health together, James shared how he found his way into the ancient method of eating and how it can benefit everyone, especially entrepreneurs. Let's dive into the rich conversation we had about health, business, and everything in between. Summary James Barry discovered the key to making superfoods taste great. Once a celebrity chef, he spent years cooking for the stars and now shares the secrets of nutritious ancestral eating with all of us. In this episode, we explore the world of organ meats through James' brand, Pluck. We talked about how eating the right foods can boost energy and decision-making and ultimately bring longevity to our lives and businesses. Embracing Change and Seeking Guidance James spent the early part of his culinary career feeling like he was "falling to the bottom of the ocean," but he soon realized there is strength and growth in accepting guidance. With a new sense of being taken care of and surrounded by mentors, James understood that it's okay to walk in the footsteps of those who came before. "There's plenty of people that have come before me. I can just see what they did, replicate it, and apply it to my business," he said. This openness to learning created a platform for him to launch Pluck successfully. The Role of Routine in Health and Success James shared the importance of routine in balancing joy and productivity. By sticking to a daily routine that includes exercise, he taps into the joy which allows him to solve problems more effectively. "I wake up at the same time every day, work out at the same time, and go to sleep at the same time," he said. Routine doesn't only improve mental clarity, it helps in making tough entrepreneurial decisions. The Origins of James Barry's Culinary Journey Growing up with non-gourmet cooking, James found a spark when he first scrambled an egg. The path to culinary success was not straightforward. He tackled many challenges, including a career in acting. It wasn't until after 9/11 that he felt the shift towards his true passion—cooking. Inspired by the need for authenticity and purpose, James took the leap and never looked back, even when it meant a significant drop in income. The Importance of Real Food and Ancestral Eating James emphasizes that eating real, unprocessed foods can change lives. He has seen trends come and go, but eating real food remains constant. "There's trends, but what I've always focused on is eating real food," he stressed. James highlights the negative effects of processed foods, reminding us that food is not just about calories, it's about nutrients. The Significance of Organ Meats and Pluck Organ meats take center stage as James explains their importance in our diet. He talks about how being a dad inspired him to look into nutrient-dense foods for his kids and himself. Organ meats are highly nutritious and a natural multivitamin. Despite cultural barriers and lack of familiarity, organ meats were the answer. To counteract these challenges, James created Pluck—a convenient blend of organ meats and spices for everyone to enjoy. With Pluck, you get the goodness of organs without the strong taste. It's designed to be sprinkled over meals, providing a hassle-free path to better nutrition. External Resources: Get 20% off your order of Pluck with our Special Link Find the latest recipes and products at Eat Pluck Connect with James Barry on LinkedIn Conclusion Talking with James Barry was eye-opening. His journey from celebrity chef to advocate of ancestral eating provides valuable lessons for entrepreneurs and individuals looking to enhance their health and well-being. Real food, routine, and openness to learning sum up the key components of success that James embodies. Pluck offers an exciting way to incorporate the benefits of organ meats into your diet while keeping it simple and delicious. Whether you're tackling a hectic business schedule or simply trying to improve your health, James' insights can guide you down a path full of vitality.

49:34

Welcome to another exciting episode of Hustle and Flowchart. In this episode, I had a fascinating conversation with Kevin Surace, a highly accomplished entrepreneur and inventor with 94 patents, many in AI. We explored the intriguing concept of joy, how it ties into success, and Kevin's thoughts on the future of AI and technology. If you've ever wondered how joy can impact your daily life and success, and what the future holds with AI, you're in the right place. The episode dives into Kevin's remarkable career and how he manages to blend joy and productivity. We discuss how joy is not just a feel-good concept but a vital component for achieving success. Additionally, Kevin shares insights into the future of AI, including exciting advancements like humanoid robots, and emphasizes the importance of staying productive with the latest technology. The Importance of Joy in Success Kevin Surace shares how joy is a crucial element in achieving success. He explains that joy and success are interconnected. More joy leads to more success and vice versa. Having a positive attitude affects how well you do in life. Kevin mentions a technique called the "positive quotient" where you keep track of positive and negative thoughts. Fewer complaints lead to more joy and, subsequently, more success. Useful quote: "In order to be the most successful you can be, you need to have joy at every moment." The Future of AI Kevin outlines an exciting future with AI. He believes humanoid robots will be part of our homes by 2030. These robots will help with daily tasks, increasing our productivity. The current advancements in AI allow us to use tools like GPT-4 and Chat GPT to expand our capabilities and make us more efficient. Useful quote: "We are going to have humanoid robots... These robots just in 2024 started to learn on their own using reinforcement learning." Staying Productive in the Modern World Kevin emphasizes the importance of making the most of our time. There are only so many hours in the day, and tools like AI can help maximize our productivity. Kevin deals with hundreds of emails daily, and using AI tools helps him manage his workload efficiently. AI tools are likened to calculators for thought processes. They help end tasks quicker and more effectively. Useful quote: "You have to use every hour and every minute to its fullest." Lifelong Learning and Technology Kevin sees lifelong learning as essential. He encourages people never to stop learning new things. No matter your age, you can learn new fields and skills. Kevin himself learns about new technologies regularly and integrates them into his work. This mindset helps him stay ahead and achieve success. Useful quote: "You can learn practically any field you want." The Joy Success Cycle Kevin introduces the Joy Success Cycle, which ties joy closely with success. He explains that minimizing negative thoughts and complaints can keep you on a positive track, enhancing success. Each task should be approached with joy, even if it is just to enjoy completing it. Looking at all experiences positively creates more opportunities for success. Useful quote: "You're either on that cycle or you're on the downward spiral." Connect with Kevin Surace Website: https://www.kevinsurace.com/ Follow Kevin on LinkedIn In conclusion, this episode with Kevin Surace provides profound insights into how joy can drive success and the exciting advancements we can expect in AI. By focusing on positivity and lifelong learning, you can increase productivity and achieve greater success in both your personal and professional life.

Sammy "Shoebox Moses" Taggett: Secrets to Transforming Dreams into Reality 51:59

51:59

Welcome to the latest episode of Hustle and Flowchart! Today, I had the pleasure of sitting down with the incredible Sammy Taggett, also known as Shoebox Moses. Sammy is not just a brilliant DJ and musician but also a successful entrepreneur and podcasting mastermind. This episode was all about connection, finding gratitude, and thinking big! In this episode, we dug into Sammy's amazing life story, from his humble beginnings to becoming a well-known DJ and entrepreneur. We talked about building connections with people, the power of storytelling, and the ways to create amazing experiences for others. Meeting Sammy Taggett Sammy Taggett, also known as Shoebox Moses, has a unique story. He explains how his path crossed with mine, and how similar interests and shared connections brought us together. Sammy's known for his infectious energy, and he’s always ready to light up the room. When we catch up, it’s like no time has passed at all. The Origin of Shoebox Moses Sammy shared his touching origin story. As a newborn in the Philippines, he was found abandoned in a shoebox outside. With the help of kind police officers, he ended up in an orphanage and later got adopted by a family in the United States. This early experience shaped him into the grateful and motivated person he is today. He explained how this background always helps him remain thankful for what he has, stating, “My worst day is somebody else's dream, a thousand times better than their situation.” The Importance of Connection and Gratitude Connection is the key to Sammy’s success. He is all about sharing experiences and creating magical moments for people. Through music, podcasting, and entrepreneurship, he stays deeply connected to others. Even in tough times, he finds strength in his past and remembers to be grateful. As Sammy puts it, “Your mess is your message." Sammy didn't only focus on connections but also understood the profound power of gratitude. He revisits his beginnings whenever he feels down, reflecting, “If ever a day turns to total crap, I look back at where I could literally be and instantly snapped out of it.” Just knowing where he started fuels his positive outlook and patience every day. Thinking Big and Going Beyond Limits Sammy believes in shooting for the stars. He encourages thinking bigger than ever before and even shared examples of this approach from DJing to podcasting. By aiming for major achievements, he unlocked opportunities others wouldn’t dare to even imagine. He highlighted a book called "10x Is Better Than 2x," which emphasizes the benefits of thinking ten times bigger instead of just doubling your goals. During our chat, he compared DJ gigs at weddings to performing at major venues. Playing large stages with a full setup allows him to focus on his music without distractions like setting up gear. Sammy’s insight was, “There is no competition on the main stage.” DJing and Its Impact Becoming a DJ wasn’t the smoothest ride for Sammy. He narrated how he fell into an unexpected opportunity and transformed it into a thriving part of his career. From humble beginnings managing a nightclub bathroom, he networked his way up to the DJ booth, proving how determination and creativity open doors. Music isn’t the only thing that drives him; it’s his way to connect deeply with others, making them feel something lasting! In another fascinating segment, Sammy shared how his DJing exposed him to different influential networks, further empowering his entrepreneurial endeavors. Resources from Sammy Evolved Podcasting Shoebox Moses Go Box Studio Grab a copy of " 10x Is Easier Than 2x " Conclusion Throughout this episode, Sammy Taggett showcased the power of connection, gratitude, and big thinking with heartfelt insights and life stories.

Robert Glazer: The Revolutionary Idea to Rethink the Two Week Notice! 49:17

לפני 18 weeks49:17

49:17

In the most recent episode of Hustle and Flowchart, we welcomed Robert Glazer to talk about his new book, "Rethinking Two Weeks' Notice," and related themes surrounding business, leadership, and personal core values. Our conversation ranged from the logistics of employment transitions to the importance of understanding oneself to be a better leader. We also touched on hot topics like remote work, AI technology, and setting the right foundation for team communication. Let's dive into the key points covered in this insightful episode. Transitioning Away from the 2-Week Notice Concept Robert explains that the traditional 2-week notice is outdated and not practical for employers or employees. The idea is rooted in respecting and responsibly communicating an employee's departure, but it often falls short in practice. Instead, Robert proposes an "Open Transition Program," where employees can be transparent about their intentions to leave early on, allowing both parties to make smoother transitions. This program encourages honest conversations, giving employers time to find replacements and providing employees an opportunity to leave without burning bridges. Robert addresses common objections, such as the fear that employees who announce their departure might become disengaged or untrustworthy. He argues that these concerns are mitigated by having real conversations early. If employees are transparent about their feelings and plans, it can actually foster a more trusting and supportive environment. This proactive approach can help companies avoid the sudden upheaval that often comes with the last-minute two-week notice. Key Points and Takeaways: The traditional 2-week notice is not effective in today’s employment landscape. Open Transition Programs encourage transparency and smoother transitions. Early, honest conversations can prevent problems and foster trust. Personal Core Values and Their Impact on Leadership Robert spoke about his upcoming book focused on personal core values, which he describes as the ultimate decision-making tool. He emphasizes that leaders need to understand their own core values to align their actions and decisions with them, thus becoming more authentic and efficient leaders. This can significantly impact how they run their businesses, interact with their teams, and make decisions under pressure. Personal core values stem from deep-rooted experiences and feelings, often linked to one's childhood. Robert shared that understanding these values can provide clarity about past career choices and life decisions. It also helps in making future decisions that are more aligned with one's true self, leading to greater job satisfaction and effectiveness as a leader. Key Points and Takeaways: Personal core values guide decision-making and leadership style. Understanding one's values can lead to better career and life decisions. Leaders need to be authentic and aligned with their core values. The Importance of Open Communication in Teams Robert and I discussed methods to foster open communication within teams. Open and honest dialogue can build a trusting environment. For instance, teams can incorporate exercises like sharing highs and lows or providing direct yet kind feedback. Such practices encourage vulnerability and the sharing of personal experiences, which can strengthen team cohesion and collaboration. One effective method Robert shared was initiating meetings with open-ended questions like "How's it going?" rather than direct questions about work. This can help uncover underlying issues affecting performance, whether they are personal or professional. Leaders should model this behavior to set the tone for the rest of the team. Key Points and Takeaways: Open communication builds trust within teams. Team exercises can encourage vulnerability and honesty. Leaders should model open communication to set the tone. Embracing Technology and AI in the Workplace Robert emphasized the importance of adopting technology and AI to stay relevant and efficient. He pointed out that while it's essential to understand and utilize tools like ChatGPT for productivity, it’s equally important to not over-rely on them. Maintaining a balance is crucial to avoid getting swept up in technological hype while still leveraging AI's benefits to improve work efficiency. He also touched on how AI can assist in various tasks, like editing and creating study guides. It’s important to experiment and find ways these tools can complement and enhance one’s work, but human oversight and critical thinking remain indispensable. Key Points and Takeaways: Understand and utilize AI tools, but maintain a balance. AI can improve productivity, but should not replace human oversight. Experiment with technology to find effective solutions. Preparation for Real-Life Challenges Robert shared his views on preparing for real-life challenges, including how to instill resilience in younger generations. The modern approach often involves removing obstacles for children, but Robert advocates for teaching them to navigate challenges themselves. He believes struggles and difficulties are essential for growth and preparing kids to handle real-world situations. This principle applies to business as well. Leaders should not aim to shield their teams from all difficulties but rather equip them with the skills and mindset to overcome challenges. This prepares them to be more resilient and adaptive in the face of unforeseen problems. Key Points and Takeaways: Teach the next generation to navigate challenges rather than removing obstacles. Struggles and difficulties are essential for growth. Equip teams with skills to handle real-world situations.
