Habits and Hustle

In this episode of Habits and Hustle, I chat with the legendary Chevy Chase about the comedy industry’s best kept secrets. From jazz piano to drumming, we dive into his hidden talents and his first big break in comedy - setting the stage for a life filled with laughter and unforgettable moments. Moving from comedy gold to silver screen gems, we lift the veil on Chevy’s versatile acting journey. Celebrated for his quick comedic timing, Tony shares his favorite characters, his comedy influences, and the strategic choices he made throughout his career. Get ready for some exclusive insights into some truly classic cult films.Chevy Chase is a comedian, actor, and writer. From being a key cast member on the first season of “Saturday Night Live” to having his late-night talk show in 1993, this actor has given people a run for their money. Chase has a career that spans over five decades. He’s been in 101 films and television shows, written 14 productions, and produced a T.V. show and a documentary. What we discuss:02:36: Was Chevy always funny?11:29: How did Chevy come up with the idea of his show?22:38: Why did Chevy leave Saturday Night Live?26:41: What movies is Chevy really known for?31:05: How would the writing work?33:25: How did Chevy pick his roles?44:47: Did Chevy ever regret turning down a role?55:50: What are the coolest things Chevy has got himself involved in?01:08:20: What is Chevy’s morning routine like?01:11:24: Does Chevy have any hobbies?01:12:33: What is Chevy working on now?01:13:32: Where did Chevy get his nickname?Key takeaways:When you have a natural talent in an artistic field, it’s easy to fall into the mold that executives may want you to morph yourself to fit into. However, the reason why people in the creative field are successful is because of their unique abilities. Thus, it’s important to adopt a “ I don’t give a sh*t” attitude and express yourself in the way that is natural to you and which you are known for.People tend to have a certain affinity towards specific types of arts such as paintings or music, but snub people who watch too much TV. What people with this attitude fail to realize is that watching TV is how you can admire and appreciate the work of the actors, directors, and writers that poured their hearts into bringing this piece of art to life for their spectators. Thus, you shouldn’t feel guilty about sitting down to watch TV if it’s to enjoy a good movie or TV show - it’s simply another form of art to appreciate. Thank you to our sponsors: Ketone IQ (HVMN): You can save 30% off your first subscription order of Ketone-IQ at HVMN.com/JENTherasage: Head over to therasage.com and use code Be Bold for 15% offLearn more from Chevy:Website: https://officialchevychase.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chevychase/My links:Website: https://www.jennifercohen.com/Instagram: @therealjencohen

Do you let the feeling of “not feeling like it” get in the way of your goals?  In this solo episode of the Habits and Hustle podcast, I chat about the importance of focusing on how you will feel in the future, after you do something that you know you should do, instead of focusing on how you feel in the moment.

Is following your passion really the way to go if you want to become rich? In this episode of Habits and Hustle, I chat with Professor Scott Galloway, our esteemed guest on this episode, who turned a major disappointment – being turned away from UCLA tryouts – into a driving force that sparked profound personal growth and transformation. A renowned author and motivational speaker, Tony shares tales of his struggles and successes, unearthing invaluable insights about commitment, finding your niche, and embracing personal evolution.Professor Galloway explains how success isn't merely about intelligence. It's a complex blend of risk-taking, aggression, sales skills, seizing opportunities, and living life to the fullest. He also explains how it's not all about personal journeys - we also navigate the broader societal landscape, examining the profound impact technology has on relationships, dating, and socialization, as well as the loneliness epidemic that’s silently wreaking havoc in our society.Scott Galloway is a Professor of Marketing at NYU Stern School of Business where he teaches Brand Strategy and Digital Marketing to MBA students and is the author of the Digital IQ Index ®, a global ranking of prestige brands' digital competence. In 2012, Professor Galloway was named "One of the World's 50 Best Business School Professors".What we discuss:(0:00:01) - Following Passion and Personal Growth(0:10:54) - The Correlation Between Intelligence and Success(0:15:12) - Moving to London and Life Experiences(0:26:50) - Evolution of Courses and Personal Reflections(0:31:16) - Technology's Impact on Human Relationships(0:44:04) - Challenges and Solutions for Young Men(0:51:10) - Technology's Impact on Relationships and Mental Health(1:03:36) - Social Media Impact, Fitness Importance(1:10:50) - Coping With Depression and Hollywood Frustrations(1:21:13) - Book Promotion and AppreciationKey takeaways:The truth about the common advice of “following your passion” is that the person giving you this advice is already rich. They also most likely made their billions in iron or smelting. Ideally, find something you like that has 90 plus percent employment rate, which things like acting, modeling, sports do not have. Then, commit to becoming great at it. So if you find something you're good at and you start making money at it, the passion will follow. The correlation between intelligence and success exists, but it tops out. A person who's got a 120 IQ is much more likely to be successful than someone at 80. But above that, it flatlines. Plus, when you get really, really smart, it actually turns on you and that is because you become so thoughtful and see so many downsides to everything. One thing that entrepreneurs have is they’re too stupid to know we're going to fail. To learn more about Professor Scott:Website: https://www.profgalloway.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/profgalloway/My links:Website: https://www.jennifercohen.com/Instagram: @therealjencohen

Have you ever wondered what life behind the mic of a comedian looks like? In this episode of Habits and Hustle, we chat with the ever-so-hilarious and insightful, Elon Gold. We kick off with a raw and humorous chat on the hustle and grind of the comedy world and exploring how he started. Elon also expands on the significant impact of Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David on Elon's career, to a chat about our comedy heroes, the industry's challenges, and how comedy can be a powerful tool against hatred.We delve into profound talks on faith, tradition, and God, underscoring the importance of having a support system. We reminisce on starting out in comedy, the struggles, and the glory. Elon opens up about the success of his 'Funny Quarantine' show and expresses his admiration for Howie Mandel’s comedic genius. There's also a thoughtful exposition on being Modern Orthodox and the essence of keeping traditions alive.Elon Gold is a comedian and actor who has starred in FOX's 'Stacked’ and NBC's 'In-Laws’. His one hour stand up special on Netflix, “Elon Gold: Chosen & Taken” received wide acclaim from audiences and peers alike. It is currently streaming on Amazon Prime. What we discuss:(0:00:00) - About Elon Gold's Comedy Career(0:10:57) - How important is tradition and belief in God?(0:23:22) - How does the show business work?(0:28:06) - Joining Larry David's Show Journey(0:38:17) - How does making a living in comedy look like?(0:41:02) - What lessons can comedy teach us?(0:51:22) - What can comedy do to help with recent incidents against jews?(1:00:02) - Should comedians cover controversial topics? (1:12:58) - Which women in comedy are the funniest?(1:18:55) - What type of people should we take advice from? (1:33:36) - What does Elon like to do to relax?(1:43:43) - What is the secret to a successful marriage?Key takeaways:When you wake up in the morning, it’s important to meditate so you can focus on the beauty and truth in your life. However, it’s equally important that you express gratitude for everything worth being grateful about in your life. Whether you like to observe your own thoughts or talk to your God, spending time reflecting on your thoughts and thanking the Universe or God for everything you have is imperative to a happy and successful life. In the show business, there’s no such thing as someone helping you out just for the sake of helping you out. In order for someone to give you a shot or a big break, it needs to be mutually beneficial. This is something that may sound harsh, but it is true in other types of relationships as well, such as romantic ones. If one partner is the only one doing all the work, the relationship won’t survive. Every and any talent you have is God-given. You are born good at something for a reason but you have to work very hard to be great at it. This talent is given to you so you know which craft to work on and become the best at.To learn more about Elon:Website: https://www.elongold.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elongold/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiEzx9WQFf1D2kJkk1VZjSAMy links:Website: https://www.jennifercohen.com/Instagram: @therealjencohen
