“Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” — Confucius

Cary Jack is the founder of The Happy Hustle, a top-ranked podcast and movement dedicated to helping people achieve balance, freedom, and purpose.

After burning out as a tech entrepreneur, Cary made a radical shift — trading 80-hour weeks for a 20-hour workweek that still generates millions in revenue.

Now, through his bestselling book, wilderness masterminds, and global stage presence, Cary is showing people how to align their work with their well-being. In doing so, Cary has proven that you don’t have to sacrifice health and happiness to achieve big goals — you just have to rethink your approach.

Cary lives in Bozeman, Montana, with his wife and son, where he can be found fly fishing for rainbows, riding his noble steed, and snowboarding fresh powder.

In this episode:

• The “More Disease” and how to fill yourself with gratitude.

• The limiting beliefs holding you back from the life you want.

• Why energy and health are your ultimate performance levers.

• How to bring more happiness into each and every day.
