Habits and Hustle

Are you doing all the right things to strengthen your mindset but still feel like something is missing?

The wellness space has been selling mindset as the answer to everything for years now. And while it matters, leading with mindset is actually where most people get the order wrong. Because before your mind can perform at its best, your body has to be conditioned for it.

When you flip that order and put your physical health first, everything else starts to move differently. Your mental toughness builds naturally. Your stress response changes. The way you show up in your relationships, your conversations, and your business all shift without you having to force it.

In this episode of Habits and Hustle, I share why I put physicality at the very top of my pyramid and what actually starts to change when you do the same.

Let's dive in!

What's Discussed:


(3:10) The biggest paradigm shift nobody in the mindset space is talking about.


(3:49) Why physical strength is the actual foundation of mental resilience.


(5:20) How treating your body as your most important tool changes everything else.


(6:04) The way feeling physically strong changes how you show up in every relationship and conversation.


(9:16) Why strength training specifically upgrades your brain chemistry and memory.


(10:25) How Jen uses workouts to work through her biggest life and business decisions.


(12:39) Why saving that hard conversation for after your workout changes how you handle it.


(13:56) The first step to taking real ownership of your health and your life.

The biggest threat to a founder's success isn't failure. It's spending years trying to become someone they were never built to be.

Jamie Siminoff never followed the CEO playbook. He followed the problem. He built Ring in his garage with a soldering iron, got publicly rejected on Shark Tank, never ran a single team meeting, and still built one of the most recognizable home security brands in the world.

In this episode, Jamie shares why the traditional founder playbook is a trap, what actually drives a company to scale, and what AI is about to do to the entrepreneurs who never questioned how they build.

If you have ever felt more pulled toward solving a problem than managing a team, this conversation will completely reframe how you think about building.

What's Discussed:


(02:01) Why "serial entrepreneur" is just a polite word for something else entirely.


(05:13) The garage moment that started everything and why he almost missed it.


(09:47) What pre-selling millions still couldn't save him from.


(13:22) The Shark Tank rejection that became his biggest break.


(21:15) How a lunch conversation changed the entire trajectory of Ring.


(35:40) The Amazon courting story and why it took three years.


(44:35) Why he never had a single team meeting and what he did instead.


(51:20) The reason he walked away from a billion dollar company at its peak.


(57:18) The wildfire that made him come back.


(1:02:10) What AI just unlocked for Ring that wasn't possible before.


(1:08:45) Why grit is about to become your most valuable asset.


(1:19:46) The one thing he'd tell every founder who's still searching.

The same part of your brain behind every bad habit you have ever had is the exact same part that builds your best ones. Which means the traits you have been trying to fix your whole life might be the very thing that builds your biggest success.

That connection is exactly what Liz Tenuto, better known as The Workout Witch, lived. She went from posting somatic exercises from her bed during a divorce to building an eight figure business that has helped millions of people heal, and the only thing that changed was what she pointed her energy at.

In this third Fitness Fridays episode with Liz, she breaks down the brain science behind habit formation, why HIIT might be working against you, and what her origin story reveals about turning your worst traits into your greatest asset.

If you have ever felt like the hardest working version of you is still not getting results, this is the episode that explains exactly why.

What's Discussed:


(0:00) The business model nobody in her industry saw coming.


(1:43) Why she started posting from bed and never expected what happened next.


(3:59) Half a million a month and not a single brand deal. Here is why.


(6:18) The one thing that separates her from every other somatic healer.


(9:50) Why the workout you think is helping you lose weight is doing the opposite.


(10:50) What stress actually does to your weight that has nothing to do with food.


(13:08) The sequence that makes high intensity exercise actually work.


(14:03) Why the easier Pilates class might be giving you the harder workout.


(17:01) The muscle nobody talks about that controls more than you think.


(18:25) The part of your brain behind every bad habit you have ever had.


(19:31) How she turned her worst trait into the thing that built everything.


(21:44) Where to find Liz and try her exercises for free.

The same intensity that can destroy your life is the same intensity that can rebuild it. The difference isn't the person, it's the direction.

Ken Rideout is the world's fastest marathoner over 50, a former prison guard, a former addict, and someone who has never once in his life waited to feel ready before making a move. He spent 10 years taking 50 Percocets a day while making millions on Wall Street and hiding it from everyone around him, including his wife. 

Today he runs 10 miles every single day, has won age groups at every world marathon major, and won a 155-mile desert ultra he signed up for with four weeks' notice and zero experience.

In this episode, Ken gets into the real story behind what it took to trade his darkest habits for the discipline that made him a world champion. He also shares the one race he quit that rewired how he approaches everything, what he tells his kids about fear, and why having no process is the reason he keeps winning.

If you have ever felt like your past, your struggles, or your lack of a plan disqualifies you from doing something extraordinary, this conversation will change how you see yourself.

What's Discussed:


(00:00) Who Ken Rideout is and why his story doesn't make sense on paper.


(04:37) Working as a prison guard at 18 while his brother was an inmate.


(07:03) The slap that got him fired and the better job that followed two days later.


(15:24) How a routine prescription started a decade-long secret.


(19:40) The night his wife found him on the floor.


(27:25) Moving his family to LA with no safety net and a newborn.


(28:01) Why running became the replacement, not the cure.


(33:44) What "delusionally optimistic" actually looks like in practice.


(36:05) The most underrated skill in business nobody talks about.


(40:30) What Ken told his scared son at the baseball game.


(41:01) Signing up for a 155-mile desert race with zero experience.


(54:18) The marathon times that made the Wall Street Journal and New York Times take notice.


(1:05:35) The one coaching change that shaved five minutes off his marathon.


(1:10:22) The line about walking on water that stopped me in my tracks.


(1:22:10) The race he quitted that he still carries with him to this day.


(1:31:06) His daily routine and the supplements he swears by.


(1:44:52) The status symbol that's available to anyone and costs nothing.

The field of somatics has one uncomfortable truth most people aren't ready to hear: you cannot think your way out of trauma or chronic stress. If the stress response of the body never gets discharged through physical movement, your body stays on high alert. Some people still write somatics off as “woo-woo”. That gap between what the science actually says and what people assume is exactly why I wanted to go deeper with Liz Tenuto, better known as The Workout Witch.

Liz holds a degree in Psychology from UC Santa Barbara, is certified in Pilates and Reiki, and spent six years being mentored in the Feldenkrais Method under Augusta Moore. She got herself off beta blockers for anxiety using the same somatic exercises she now teaches.

In part two of this three-part Fitness Friday series with Liz, she breaks down the actual science, Polyvagal Theory, the psoas muscle, why betrayal trauma has a biological address in your body, and why your nervous system is still running an operating system designed for surviving predators, not inbox anxiety.

If you have ever felt stuck in stress no matter what you try, this is the episode that explains exactly why.

What's Discussed:


(0:00) How Liz grew to 4.8 million followers and who her audience really is.


(1:01) Why somatics bridges the gap where doctors just tell you it's stress.


(1:48) How Liz got off beta blockers for anxiety using somatic exercises.


(3:12) What somatics can actually help with and how it works for sleep.


(9:11) The science behind somatics and how your body stores stress physically


(13:33) How trauma gets stored as subconscious muscle tension and shows up as pain.


(16:52) Liz's personal story: how quitting dance made her chronic pain worse, not better.


(27:05) Sleep positions that reveal your stress state: T-REX ARMS, mountain climber, extreme fetal.


(33:21) The psoas muscle: the muscle of the soul and its role as a first responder in fight or flight.


(35:13) The gentle 18-day protocol Liz uses before ever touching the psoas.
