    Episode 571: Ronnen Harary: The Bite-Sized Decisions That Built a Billion-Dollar Company From Nothing

    What if waiting until you feel ready is the reason you keep missing the opportunity?

    A lot of people have ideas, ambition, and opinions, but very few are willing to move before they have the perfect plan. Ronnen Harary built Spin Master by doing the thing so many people avoid: making the first small decision, trusting his gut, asking who could help, and moving fast enough to catch the opportunity while everyone else was still thinking about it. He did not start with decades of experience, unlimited resources, or a perfect roadmap. He started with curiosity, speed, persistence, and a willingness to figure it out in real time.

    This matters because opportunity rarely looks polished when it first shows up. Sometimes it looks like a weird grass toy, a product everyone else passed on, or a preschool show created after two brutal years of company losses. Ronnen's story is a reminder that success is built through motion, not overthinking. The people who win are the ones who create momentum, learn fast, build the right partnerships, and keep going long enough for the next big thing to appear.

    Ronnen Harary is the co-founder and former CEO of Spin Master, one of the world's largest children's entertainment companies, behind brands including Paw Patrol, Bakugan, Air Hogs, Rubik's Cube, Melissa & Doug, and Toca Boca. He is also the author of No Experience Necessary. In this episode, he breaks down entrepreneurship, instinct, failure, culture, partnerships, decision-making, and why not knowing too much can sometimes be the advantage that gets you moving.

    What's discussed:

    (02:11) Why Ronnen wrote No Experience Necessary after building one of the biggest toy companies in the world.

    (05:48) Why a learning disability does not mean a lack of intelligence.

    (13:27) How Spin Master started with two college friends, fertilizer sales, and the decision to go into business for themselves.

    (20:46) How one bold Kmart meeting turned into an order for 48,000 pieces and the possibility of half a million more.

    (27:02) Why bite-sized decisions, momentum, and asking for help matter more than having the full plan.

    (30:11) Why speed to market and fast scaling helped Earth Buddies beat the competition.

    (36:56) How Air Hogs became the product everyone passed on before it took Spin Master from $7 million to $35 million in sales.

    (48:57) How Paw Patrol was created during Spin Master's lowest point after losses, layoffs, and failed shows.

    (01:02:43) Why the ability to say sorry, debate well, and remove ego is critical in business partnerships.

    (01:21:17) How overthinking led him to turn down a $100 million Universal movie deal.

    Episode 570: 3 Reasons Why You Aren't Sleeping Properly

    Are you trying so hard to sleep better that you're actually making your sleep worse?

    We're spending more money than ever on sleep trackers, apps, gadgets, supplements, and nighttime routines, yet so many people are still exhausted. The more pressure you put on getting perfect sleep, the more alert your brain can become, which is why something as simple as "counting sheep" can actually backfire.

    Sleep is also affecting way more than your energy. One bad night can throw off your cravings, weaken your willpower, make discipline harder, and push you toward the exact choices you were trying to avoid. And if you're relying on motivation to make good decisions after a terrible night of sleep, good luck. Your brain is already running on fumes.

    In this episode of Habits and Hustle, I share why obsessing over sleep may be part of the problem, how sleep quality impacts cravings and discipline, and why exercise, food, and your daytime habits may matter more than another sleep gadget.

    What's Discussed:

    (00:53) Why sleep has become the top health trend and why people are still sleeping worse. (01:18) How obsessing over sleep can actually make it harder to fall asleep. (02:22) Why counting sheep may be one of the worst things to do when you can't sleep. (03:09) How processed foods can affect sleep quality, even if you sleep the same number of hours. (04:07) Why sleep trackers, apps, and gadgets may create more stress than better sleep. (05:50) What to do when you wake up in the middle of the night and can't fall back asleep. (06:34) How one bad night of sleep can lead to more cravings and poor food choices. (08:13) Why willpower and discipline get weaker when your brain is exhausted. (09:41) Why women may need more sleep than men and why that conversation matters. (13:49) How exercise can dramatically improve sleep quality.

    Episode 569: Richard Baker: Entrepreneurship Lessons From Billion Dollar Deals and Bold Risks

    Are you actually creating opportunity, or are you waiting for someone to hand it to you?

    A lot of people talk about being entrepreneurs, but very few are willing to do the unsexy part: get on the plane, sit in the waiting room, build the relationship, ask the better question, and stay in the deal long enough to find the angle everyone else missed. Richard Baker built his career by doing exactly that. He did not rely on perfect timing, endless capital, or permission from people at the top. He used structure, relationships, leverage, and speed to turn overlooked opportunities into billion-dollar deals.

    This matters because the future of work is changing fast. AI is reshaping business, companies are cutting jobs, and more people are going to have to learn how to create value on their own. Richard's philosophy is simple: stop chasing safety, start thinking like an owner, and learn how to manufacture your own luck. The people who win are the ones who know where the ball is going before everyone else starts running after it.

    Richard Baker is a real estate entrepreneur, dealmaker, founder of Baker House 1921, and longtime educator through Cornell's Baker Program in Real Estate. He has built one of the largest privately owned shopping center portfolios in the country, developed 50 Walmart-anchored shopping centers, bought iconic retail brands including Lord & Taylor, Saks Fifth Avenue, Hudson's Bay, and Neiman Marcus, and structured some of the most fascinating retail and real estate deals of the last two decades. In this episode, he breaks down negotiation, risk, AI, entrepreneurship, decision-making, and why the biggest opportunities often come from seeing what everyone else is too busy to notice.

    What's Discussed:

    (01:27) How Richard Baker built one of the largest privately owned shopping center portfolios in the country.

    (07:37) The family philosophy that taught him how to make money with no money.

    (11:13) What intellectual leverage means and why he uses brains, relationships, and structure instead of cash.

    (12:15) Why real opportunity comes from getting off your ass and showing up in person.

    (19:23) How the power of yes helped him buy Lord & Taylor for $1.2 billion.

    (23:34) Why big companies miss details and how that creates openings for entrepreneurs.

    (29:21) Why speed, risk tolerance, and fast decision-making matter in business.

    (39:17) How he turned the Zellers deal into a bidding war between Walmart and Target.

    (52:40) The difference between a zoo bear and a jungle bear in entrepreneurship.

    (01:02:39) Why luck is something you manufacture through preparation, strategy, and timing.

    (01:07:21) How Richard uses AI every morning to think, plan, and increase productivity.

    (01:31:38) Why courage, pulling the trigger, and structuring risk are essential for entrepreneurs.

    Episode 568: Who Should You Really Be Taking Advice From?

    Are you taking advice from people who only sound like they know what they're talking about?

    Social media has made everyone look like an expert, but a confident voice, a polished clip, or a big following does not automatically mean someone is qualified to guide your life, business, health, or decisions. The problem is that bad advice often sounds convincing, especially when it comes from someone who knows how to perform authority online.

    Real discernment means asking better questions before you listen. Has this person actually done what they are talking about? Did they do it recently enough for the advice to still apply? Are they giving you perspective from experience, or are they selling you a version of success that looks good on camera?

    In this episode of Habits and Hustle, I break down why advice has an expiration date, why followers do not equal credibility, and how to be more careful about who you let influence your decisions.

    What's Discussed:

    (00:34) Why everyone on social media suddenly sounds like an expert.

    (01:09) How the rise of online advice has made discernment more important than ever.

    (02:40) Why you should only take advice from people who have actually done what they are talking about.

    (03:54) Why advice has an expiration date and can become outdated.

    (04:10) How business, career, and life advice changes when the world changes.

    (06:33) Why calling yourself an "expert" can become part of the problem.

    (08:16) Why even good advice may not be right for your life or your path.

    (09:57) How social media makes people sound authoritative, even when they are not.

    (12:43) Why followers and visibility do not automatically equal credibility.

    (15:16) Why health and mental health advice on social media can become dangerous.

    Episode 567: Shawn Stevenson: The Science of Sleep, Stress, Weight Loss, and Longevity

    Everyone is trying to optimize their health with trackers, supplements, morning routines, and biohacking tools, but sometimes the basics are still the biggest needle-movers. In this episode, we unpack why sleep, stress, relationships, food quality, and even walking may matter more than the latest wellness trend.

    We dive deeper into this in the Habits & Hustle Podcast with Shawn Stevenson. We also chat about melatonin, sleep quality, wearables, fat loss, protein, weighted vests, GLP-1s, and why your relationships may be the most underrated longevity hack.

    Shawn Stevenson is the host of The Model Health Show, one of the top-rated health podcasts. He is the author of Sleep Smarter, which became an international bestseller and has been translated into more than 20 languages. He is also the author of Eat Smarter and the Eat Smarter Family Cookbook.

    What's Discussed:

    (02:11) How Shawn Stevenson wrote one of the first bestselling books on sleep before it became a wellness trend.

    (03:08) Why sleep was the missing factor for clients who were doing everything "right" but not seeing results.

    (04:20) How morning exercise can help reset your cortisol rhythm and improve sleep quality.

    (09:29) What people misunderstand about melatonin and why taking more is not always better.

    (22:16) Why waking up in the middle of the night is not always a problem.

    (27:28) Are wearables actually improving your health or making you more neurotic?

    (37:04) Why your relationships may be the number one factor in longevity.

    (48:19) How sleep deprivation can make you lose muscle instead of body fat.

    (55:16) Why calories matter, but food quality changes what your body does with them.

    (1:18:14) The weighted vest study that explains why gravitational loading may help prevent weight regain.

    Episode 566: Are You Limiting Your Own Potential?

    Are you counting yourself out before you even give yourself a real shot?

    A lot of people have big goals, real ambition, and a clear idea of what they want, but they never actually try because deep down, they don't believe they could be the person who pulls it off. They look at other people who have succeeded and assume those people had something they do not, when the real difference is often much simpler: they tried, they kept going, and they believed it was possible before anyone else did.

    When you start asking "Why not me?" instead of assuming success is reserved for someone else, everything changes. You stop putting other people on pedestals, you stop disqualifying yourself before the game even starts, and you start building the kind of confidence that only comes from taking action.

    In this episode of Habits and Hustle, I share why the "Why not me?" mindset has made me feel unstoppable and how changing the way you see yourself can change the way you show up in every area of your life.

    What's Discussed:

    (00:34) Why we underestimate ourselves and overestimate the people we put on pedestals.

    (01:16) How the "Why not me?" mindset can change the way you approach success.

    (01:50) The real difference between the people who succeed and the people who count themselves out.

    (02:02) Why self-belief still requires hard work, grit, and repeated attempts.

    (02:46) Why advocating for yourself can feel uncomfortable or egotistical.

    (04:29) Why people need to stop counting themselves out before they even try.

    (05:51) Why some people are not lazy, they simply do not believe they are capable.

    (06:10) The myth that you have to be "special" to achieve big things.

    (06:50) How believing you are capable can become the thing that makes you capable.

    (07:10) Why repeating the "Why not me?" mindset can rewire the way you see yourself.

    Episode 565: Dr. Elisha Goldstein: Emotional Health Strategies to Break Resistance and Build Discipline

    Most people know exactly what they should be doing to feel better, follow through, and build the life they want, but actually doing it is where everything falls apart. In this episode, we get into why mindfulness has been misunderstood, why your nervous system can block follow-through, and why awareness is the first step to breaking the emotional loops that keep you stuck.

    We dive deeper into this in the Habits & Hustle Podcast with Dr. Elisha Goldstein. We also chat about why mindfulness does not mean calm, how to interrupt overwhelm in real time, and why emotional vocabulary can completely change the way you understand your needs.

    Dr. Elisha Goldstein is a clinical psychologist, author of six books, and co-founder of The Center for Mindful Living in Los Angeles. He holds a Ph.D. in clinical psychology and has developed programs focused on mindfulness, emotional health, and behavior change. His latest book is Tiny Shifts: How Emotional Health Transforms Stress, Relationships, and Longevity.

    What's Discussed:

    (02:14) Why mindfulness does not actually mean being calm.

    (06:04) The three questions your brain asks before you follow through on a habit.

    (07:39) Why people already know what to do but still struggle to execute.

    (15:22) What emotional health actually means beyond basic stress management.

    (16:44) The "emotional loop" behind overwhelm, anxiety, and resistance.

    (26:19) The tiny shift that helped him move from feeling lost to finding purpose.

    (29:18) Why motivational quotes do not work when your nervous system is dysregulated.

    (32:32) How fitness becomes a training ground for discipline in every area of life.

    (52:17) The real reason discipline is so hard to build when you do not feel motivated.

    (1:15:34) Why emotional vocabulary matters more than saying "I'm fine."

    Episode 564: What Makes Someone A REAL Entrepreneur?

    I have a bone to pick with the word entrepreneur because somewhere along the way, it became less about building something real and more about having a sexy title in your Instagram bio. Everyone wants the label, but not everyone has put in the time, taken the hits, failed, adjusted, and kept going long enough to actually earn it.

    In this episode of Habits & Hustle, Shani and I get into the difference between being entrepreneurial and actually being an entrepreneur. We also talk about fake business gurus, online courses, social media self-promotion, and why you need to be way more discerning about who you trust, follow, and pay.

    Because here's the truth: selling a course on success does not automatically make you successful. If you want to build something real, you need persistence, proof, and the ability to get back up when the first version does not work.

    No sexy bio line.

    No fake guru playbook.

    Just the actual work.

    Let's dive in.

    What's Discussed:

    (00:59) Why the word "entrepreneur" has become the new sexy Instagram bio label.

    (02:15) What actually qualifies someone as an entrepreneur versus someone who just wants the title.

    (03:08) The problem with people selling courses on entrepreneurship when they haven't built anything themselves.

    (04:04) The real difference between being entrepreneurial and being an entrepreneur.

    (05:27) Why selling a course can make someone a good internet marketer, but not necessarily a qualified business expert.

    (06:15) How social media creates the illusion that someone is more successful or experienced than they actually are.

    (07:35) The fine line between being an entrepreneur and being a snake oil salesman.

    (10:24) Why discernment matters when deciding who to trust, follow, listen to, or buy from online.

    (12:04) The "do your own research" mindset and why people get burned when they blindly trust influencers.

    (12:54) How Shark Tank and social media made everyone believe they could build the next big business.

    Episode 563: Sadia Khan: The Modern Relationship Advice Your Therapist Got Wrong

    Modern relationship advice is everywhere, and most of it is making your relationships harder, not better. These are the buzzwords that we see spread all over the internet like the misused attachment labels, the "be more vulnerable" coaching, the body count debate, and the love bombing warnings. Sadia has spent years working with couples one-on-one, and almost none of it holds up in real practice. Sadia Khan is a psychotherapist and the author of The Red Flags:The Truth About Love, Trauma, and the Lies Your Therapist Didn't Warn You About, a book built around the 10 questions every therapist should be asking their clients and every partner should be asking each other. She has worked with hundreds of men and women to fix what conventional therapy keeps missing, and her approach has built her one of the largest relationship audiences online.

    In this episode of Habits and Hustle, Sadia breaks down why your therapist's advice may be quietly hurting your relationship, the real reason high body count damages men more than women, why people pleasers suffer more in relationships than narcissists do, and the four green flags that actually predict whether a couple makes it.

    Episode 562: Shawn Stevenson: Why Your Relationships Shape Your Health More Than Any Wellness Trend

    The most powerful longevity tool you have is not in a bottle or a needle. It's in the quality of your relationships. There's a body of data that's been saying this for decades. Yet, the wellness industry kept focusing on the other direction of wellness.

    Shawn knows this not only because he read it in a study but because he lived the opposite of what healthy relationships look like first and paid for it with his health.

    Shawn Stevenson is the host of The Model Health Show, the no.1 nutrition and fitness podcast in the United States, and the bestselling author of Sleep Smarter and Eat Smarter. He grew up in poverty in St. Louis, was told at 20 he had the spine of an 80-year-old, and rebuilt his health from scratch with no money, no access, and no roadmap for any of it.

    In this episode of Habits and Hustle, Shawn makes the case that we have been optimizing the wrong thing all along. Your culture, your community, and the quality of your relationships are what the largest longevity studies keep pointing to, and almost nobody in wellness is talking about it. He also gets into why GLP-1s and peptides are a shortcut to the wrong destination, what circadian medicine is about to change, and why the healthiest thing you can do today has nothing to do with your supplement stack. If you have ever felt like your circumstances were too far gone for health to even be possible, this episode was made for you.

    What's Discussed:

    04:12 The hidden impact of sleep on metabolism and energy

    09:35 Common habits that undermine long-term health

    15:48 Practical strategies to improve recovery and resilience

    20:55 Final thoughts on building sustainable daily habits

    Episode 561: Thais Gibson: The Four-Attachment Styles Explained + Why "Self Sabotage" Is A Myth

    Your subconscious mind is running 95% of your decisions. Your conscious mind, the part that's setting goals, making resolutions, and telling itself to do better, is only working with the remaining 5%. That gap is why knowing what you should do is never enough.

    Thais Gibson has spent over a decade building a framework that actually closes that gap. She is a counselor, founder of the Gibson Integrated Attachment Theory™, and has worked with over 60,000 people through The Personal Development School. In this episode of Habits and Hustle, she breaks down why self-sabotage is not what we all think it is, how your attachment style is quietly running your relationships, and the exact process to rewire patterns you have been carrying since childhood.

    This is one of those conversations that will make you look at your own behavior completely differently.

    What's Discussed:

    (00:05) The real reason your conscious goals keep losing to your subconscious programming.

    (15:30) What your attachment style is actually telling you about your childhood.

    (29:00) The attachment combination most likely to end in a vicious cycle.

    (45:00) Why dating a secure person does not fix an insecure attachment.

    (58:00) That one belief that's quietly destroying your ability to connect.

    (1:05:00) What limerence is and why people mistake it for love.

    (1:15:00) The five pillars to rewire your attachment style at a subconscious level.

    (1:20:00) Why affirmations do not work and what to do instead.
