• Episode 506: The Success Skill Everyone Overlooks

  Have you ever wondered why some people shoot ahead while others, equally talented and equally driven, keep hitting invisible walls? It is almost never about capability. It is about how they show up, how they are perceived, and how they make people feel in the first five seconds of entering a room. In this Fitness Friday episode, I break down why likability is one of the most underrated success advantages and how small habits like a real smile, remembering someone’s name, or actually listening can change the way people respond to you instantly. I also talk about the mindset traps that keep high performers stuck: over-talking, people-pleasing, and trying to impress instead of connect. If you know you are capable of more but feel like something small keeps blocking your momentum, this conversation is going to click everything into place. Tune in and take notes. This one is simple, actionable and a total game changer. What we discuss: (01:51) Why likability gets you ahead (03:29) How smiling and body language change everything (04:11) Why remembering someone’s name is a power move (05:11) The 70/30 rule and the power of asking questions (06:09) How to give genuine compliments (07:16) Why listening is a secret weapon Thank you to our sponsor: Therasage: Head over to therasage.com and use code Be Bold for 15% off  Air Doctor: Go to airdoctorpro.com and use promo code HUSTLE40 for up to $300 off and a 3-year warranty on air purifiers.

• Episode 505: Jefferson Fisher: How to Argue Less and Communicate Better

  How is it possible to be confident in every other area of your life, but lose your footing the second a conversation gets difficult? In this episode of Habits & Hustle, I sit down with Jefferson Fisher, a former trial lawyer, bestselling author, and one of the most respected communication voices online, to talk about how to argue less and actually connect more. We talk about what intentional communication actually looks like in real life and why so many people slip into defensiveness instead of clarity. Jefferson breaks down the small but powerful adjustments that change everything in a hard conversation, from slowing your tone to asking questions that defuse tension instead of escalating it. He also explains why trying to “win” is the quickest way to damage trust, and how a calm, grounded “no” can communicate confidence without conflict. If you often leave conversations feeling misunderstood or emotionally drained, this episode will feel like a reset. We go deeper into how to structure a discussion so no one spirals, how to navigate people with low emotional awareness, and how to keep your composure even when your instinct is to react fast. Jefferson Fisher has helped millions of people communicate with more clarity and less conflict through his signature approach to calm, intentional dialogue. His first book, The Next Conversation, became a New York Times bestseller, and his content has reshaped how people navigate arguments, boundaries, and connection in everyday life. What We Discuss: (06:09) When what you said does not match what they heard (09:17) Slowing your tone to calm the conversation (13:58) “Nice” vs. “Kind” and why the difference matters (21:14) How to say “no” without guilt or excuses (27:26) Using frames to start hard conversations (36:41) Handling people with low emotional intelligence (51:57) Cutting weak language to sound more confident Thank you to our sponsors: Therasage: Head over to therasage.com and use code Be Bold for 15% off  Air Doctor: Go to airdoctorpro.com and use promo code HUSTLE40 for up to $300 off and a 3-year warranty on air purifiers.

• Episode 503: Anthony William: Heavy Metals, Brain Fog, and The Voice That Guides Him

  Most people don’t fail at getting healthy because they don’t care. They fail because they’re following the wrong advice. In this episode, I sit down with Anthony William, the Medical Medium, to talk about why doing everything “right” can still leave you feeling like crap. We get into how stress, overtesting, and over-supplementing can backfire, and why simplicity beats every hack. He shares how metals in the brain can fuel issues like OCD and ADHD, the five foods he swears by for detox and recovery, and why celery juice became more than just a trend. We also talk about what people get wrong about protein, clean eating, and chasing “optimization.” Whether you love him or question him, this conversation will make you stop and rethink what being healthy really means. Anthony William is the founder of the global celery juice movement and a #1 New York Times best-selling author known for his Medical Medium book series. Since the age of four, he has said he receives health insights from what he calls the Spirit of Compassion, helping people improve their well-being through a more intuitive approach. What we discuss: (05:42) Why “healthy” habits might actually be keeping you sick (13:10) The hidden downside of overtesting (24:57) How the Medical Medium was trained by a voice since childhood (28:45) The real reason you feel tired even when you “do everything right” (44:02) How heavy metals in the brain may trigger OCD and ADHD symptoms (1:11:59) The five foods Anthony swears by for real detox and recovery (01:17:57) Why protein isn’t the miracle nutrient you think it is (01:23:39) The truth behind celery juice and why it became a global movement (01:26:11) Why Anthony turned down Hollywood deals and the “health celebrity” circuit Thank you to our sponsors: Therasage: Head over to therasage.com and use code Be Bold for 15% off  Air Doctor: Go to airdoctorpro.com and use promo code HUSTLE for up to $300 off and a 3-year warranty on air purifiers.
