    Episode 531: Leslie John: Oversharing as a Competitive Advantage in Leadership and Negotiation
    Feb 24 2026
    We’ve been conditioned to believe that saying less is safer. But playing it safe costs trust, influence, stronger negotiations, and deeper relationships because the line between “too much” and meaningful connection is further out than we think. In the latest episode of Habits & Hustle, I’m joined by author Leslie John to break down the exact tipping point where leader vulnerability backfires, why holding your cards close in negotiation weakens your leverage, and how pushing slightly past your comfort zone builds real authority. Leslie John is the James E. Burke Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School and author of Revealing: The Underrated Power of Oversharing. Her award-winning research appears in top academic journals and media including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Economist. What’s Discussed (04:00) Why oversharing feels risky but builds stronger relationships and influence (06:31) The difference between emotional dumping and strategic vulnerability (18:23) Disclosure flexibility and knowing when to reveal versus hold back (20:55) Why long term relationships erode when partners stop sharing (27:15) How strategic transparency increases trust and customer retention (28:50) The most common negotiation mistake: leading with concealment (34:03) Leader vulnerability and the tipping point where credibility drops (41:01) Authenticity versus impulse and why emotional intelligence matters Thank you to our sponsors: Rho Nutrition: Try Rho Nutrition today and experience the difference of Liposomal Technology.

    Episode 530: Lindsey Vonn: Building Mental Toughness Through Injury, Pressure, and Setbacks
    Feb 20 2026
    Success at the highest level often hides a harder truth: discipline, sacrifice, and relentless pressure can coexist with loneliness, self doubt, and burnout. When winning becomes routine and falling is inevitable, mental toughness is no longer optional, it is survival. We dive deeper into this in the Habits & Hustle with Lindsey Vonn. We also chat about building resilience through failure, the real cost of elite performance, and redefining identity after retirement. Lindsey Vonn is an American former World Cup alpine ski racer on the US Ski Team. She won four World Cup overall championships and ranks third among female skiers behind Annemarie Moser Proll and Mikaela Shiffrin, with three consecutive titles in 2008, 2009, and 2010, plus another in 2012. What’s Discussed (05:48) Talent, work ethic, and the role of family in building drive (12:22) Early elite training and the mental toughness it demands (26:03) Career ending injuries and mental health after retirement (29:59) A pro athlete’s daily training balance of endurance, strength, and recovery (39:31) Entrepreneurship and social media’s mental toll (47:24) Red light therapy, recovery tools, and what actually helps injuries (53:45) Daily routines that support long term health (1:02:09) Building resilience and confidence through the Lindsey Vonn Foundation Thank you to our sponsors: Rho Nutrition: Try Rho Nutrition today and experience the difference of Liposomal Technology.

    Episode 529: Anastasia Soare: The Discipline That Built a Billion Dollar Brand and Why Obsession Beats Balance
    Feb 17 2026
    Success isn’t built by playing it safe or trying to do everything at once. This episode breaks down why obsession, discipline, and committing fully to one craft are often the real difference between stalled ideas and lasting success. We dive deeper into this in the Habits & Hustle with Anastasia Soare. We also talk about why balance is overrated, how discipline beats talent, and what it actually takes to build a category from nothing. Anastasia Soare is the founder and CEO of Anastasia Beverly Hills. She is a self-made entrepreneur known globally as the Queen of Eyebrows and built her career as an esthetician working with clients including Oprah Winfrey and Michelle Obama. She founded Anastasia Beverly Hills in 1997 and has been featured in outlets including The Wall Street Journal, Vogue, Allure, Harper’s Bazaar, People, and Entertainment Tonight. What’s Discussed (04:06) Immigrating from Romania and why survival shaped her work ethic (07:24) Using the golden ratio to design brows and build a beauty category (15:21) Solving real customer problems before building products or scaling (19:33) Obsession, discipline, and competing with yourself instead of others (29:12) Why opportunity only matters when preparation is already in place (32:17) Simplifying contouring so everyday consumers can actually use makeup (38:14) Firing her daughter and why earned authority matters in leadership (41:48) Rejecting balance and embracing obsession to build something lasting Thank you to our sponsors: Rho Nutrition: Try Rho Nutrition today and experience the difference of Liposomal Technology.

  • Episode 528: My Thoughts on Lindsey Vonn’s Crash and Having an Olympian Mindset

    Episode 528: My Thoughts on Lindsey Vonn’s Crash and Having an Olympian Mindset
    Feb 13 2026
    Are you watching the Winter Olympics right now? Because if you are, then you’ve probably witnessed real-time examples of resilience, and it forces a bigger question: do you really know how resilient you are until you’re tested? In this Habits & Hustle episode, I am joined by one of my dearest, closest friends Shani to talk about resilience in its greatest form, the Winter Olympics, and to give a big shout out to Olympic champion Lindsey Vonn, who has been here on the podcast before. We get into what it takes to compete at 41 years old, tear your ACL ten days before competition day and still show up, and why that level of commitment is what separates high performers from everyone else. If you have something you want to accomplish or a standard you’re ready to rise to, this conversation is your reminder that with the right mindset and real commitment, nothing can stop you. Tune in. What’s Discussed (01:41) Lindsey Vonn’s comeback story and competing at 41 (02:21) Tearing an ACL ten days before the Olympics and still choosing to compete (03:16) Freak accident mechanics vs preexisting injuries in high-risk performance (06:24) Are elite performers built different or shaped by relentless training (07:26) Age, longevity, and the shifting ceiling of Olympic careers (08:41) Modern recovery, training evolution, and extending athletic prime Thank you to our sponsors: Rho Nutrition: Try Rho Nutrition today and experience the difference of Liposomal Technology.

    Episode 527: Jack Dell’Accio: How Your Mattress Impacts REM Sleep, Brain Recovery and Performance
    Feb 10 2026
    You can sleep eight hours, follow all the usual tips, and still feel foggy and sore. If recovery isn’t improving, the problem usually is the environment you’re ignoring at bedtime. In this episode of Habits & Hustle, I sit down with certified sleep coach Jack Dell’Accio to break down why “cooling” mattresses backfire, what actually drives REM and deep sleep, and how toxins and EMFs keep the nervous system stuck in survival mode. Jack Dell’Accio is a Certified Sleep Coach with over 20 years of experience studying restorative rest and sleep environments. He is the Founder and CEO of Essentia, a company focused on non toxic, organically made mattresses designed to support neurological and physical restoration. What’s Discussed (01:12) Why mattresses are overlooked despite being the biggest sleep exposure (07:28) REM and deep sleep as drivers of brain detox and physical recovery (08:44) How EMFs alter blood behavior and keep the brain in defense mode (15:51) Why mattress toxins stimulate the nervous system and reduce deep sleep (21:39) How sleep tracking increases pressure and backfires on performance (24:08) Why most organic mattresses still rely on coils and fall short (29:22) How “cooling” mattresses fragment sleep through constant repositioning (42:51) Sleep hygiene versus sleep environment and why people confuse the two Thank you to our sponsors: Rho Nutrition: Try Rho Nutrition today and experience the difference of Liposomal Technology.

  • Episode 526: Liron Kayvan: Smart Strength Training That Builds Results Without Injury or Burnout

    Episode 526: Liron Kayvan: Smart Strength Training That Builds Results Without Injury or Burnout
    Feb 5 2026
    Lifting heavier, training to exhaustion, and pushing through pain are often labeled as discipline, yet they are some of the fastest ways to stall progress and get injured. The real problem is misunderstanding how intensity and reps actually drive results over time. In this Fitness Friday episode we get into why pushing past your limits is not discipline, what rep ranges actually drive results, and how fitness is increasingly shaping behavior, consistency, and social connection. Liron Kayvan founded BFLA in 2019. He’s a NASM Certified Group Fitness Instructor, Personal Trainer, and Transformative Life Coach. Liron has competed in Amateur MMA, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and Rugby and has been a Fitness Coach for over 10 years. What’s Discussed (00:52) Why mastering bodyweight movements should come before lifting (02:56) How machines allow higher intensity and safety without perfect form (04:36) Why workout intensity matters more than how heavy you lift (06:02) The rep ranges that actually support strength and muscle growth (13:40) How group fitness creates consistency through structure and accountability (15:00) Why fitness spaces are replacing bars as social connection hubs (17:56) How padel and running clubs blend movement, community, and lifestyle (22:07) Why pickleball and other “low-impact” sports carry unexpected injury risk Thank you to our sponsors: Rho Nutrition: Try Rho Nutrition today and experience the difference of Liposomal Technology.

  • Episode 525: Dr. Vonda Wright: Fitness Over 40 and the Strength Habits That Prevent Physical Decline

    Episode 525: Dr. Vonda Wright: Fitness Over 40 and the Strength Habits That Prevent Physical Decline
    Feb 3 2026
    Aging gets sold as this quiet slide into joint pain, low energy, and moving less because “that’s just how it goes.” The truth is far more uncomfortable: loss of strength and muscle, not age, is what actually limits people long before it needs to. We dive deeper into this in the latest Habits & Hustle episode with Dr. Vonda Wright. We also get into why running doesn’t ruin your knees, why the body’s critical decade sits between mid-thirties and mid-forties, and why muscle isn’t about looking a certain way, it’s about staying capable. Dr. Vonda Wright is a board-certified orthopedic sports surgeon with more than two decades of clinical experience. She is a published author and international speaker specializing in musculoskeletal health, longevity, and performance. She also works as a biotech consultant and elite sports physician. What We Discuss: (14:58) Why joint pain, muscle loss, and slowing down are not inevitable with age (16:11) When real physical performance decline actually begins (21:13) Running, joint health, and what actually causes knee breakdown (22:45) Why weakness and poor mechanics hurt runners more than mileage (42:36) Why the body’s "Critical Decade" sits between mid-thirties and mid-forties (43:40) The "minimum effective dose" for training when you are short on time (01:12:45) Facing the "fear of being bold" and taking action for your health Thank you to our sponsors: Rho Nutrition: Try Rho Nutrition today and experience the difference of Liposomal Technology.

  • Episode 524: Liron Kayvan: How to Make Fitness Goals Stick And The Top Fitness Trends This Year

    Episode 524: Liron Kayvan: How to Make Fitness Goals Stick And The Top Fitness Trends This Year
    Jan 30 2026
    Every January starts with big fitness intentions, and it usually ends the same way, routines quietly fall apart once motivation wears off. The real issue is well known: building habits around feelings and calendar dates instead of non-negotiable standards. In this Fitness Friday episode, we break down the New Year fitness cycle with Liron Kayvan and talk about how to approach it in a way that actually sticks. We get into why walking is the most underrated habit in fitness, how non-negotiables put discipline on autopilot, and what truly separates people who stay consistent from those who fall off every January. Liron Kayvan founded BFLA in 2019. He’s a NASM Certified Group Fitness Instructor, Personal Trainer, and Transformative Life Coach. Liron has competed in Amateur MMA, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and Rugby and has been a Fitness Coach for over 10 years. What We Discuss: (00:00) Why New Year goals fall apart by mid-January (02:48) The New Year reset cycle and why starting dates don’t create consistency (05:52) How too much daily decision-making sabotages long-term habits (09:18) What it actually means to build non-negotiables (14:46) Interval walking explained and why it’s trending for 2026 (20:02) Recovery as a top fitness trend and what’s driving the surge (24:37) Cold plunges, saunas, and why sleep is the most underappreciated recovery tool (30:51) Training early and why prioritization matters more than motivation Thank you to our sponsors: Prolon: Get 30% off sitewide plus a $40 bonus gift when you subscribe to their 5-Day Program!
