Public Persona, TV & Building a Brand

How do you stay focused and steady when your work revolves around pressure, fast decisions, and a schedule that never slows down?

In this episode of Habits & Hustle, I sit down with Robert Herjavec, entrepreneur, Emmy Award winner, and lead Shark on Shark Tank, to explore the mindset and habits that keep him clear and effective when the stakes get high.

He shares the discipline that keeps him steady under pressure, the lessons that reshaped his definition of success, and how he protects his energy in a world that rewards noise. We also talk about the routines that anchor him, how he filters opportunities, the role curiosity plays in high performance, and what staying grounded looks like when visibility comes with real cost.

Robert Herjavec is a Croatian-Canadian entrepreneur, investor, and television personality. He founded BRAK Systems, one of Canada’s leading internet security companies, and sold it to AT&T Canada for $30.2 million. He is an Emmy Award winner, the lead Shark on Shark Tank, a cybersecurity expert, keynote speaker, author, and lifelong car enthusiast known for his approach to steady, forward action.
