Testimonials

Hear it from world class happy hustlers

Danette May

Hustlin has to be hard, hustlin has to be painful, hustlin has to be grueling.

Rich Christiansen

Living in flow — a completely manifested life: personal, a balanced family, and intentional about where I spend my time, money, and resources. So happy hustling, to me, is all-inclusive of flow.

Rich Christiansen

Tania Kazaal

Your work, your words, and how you look at your everyday life — it all has to make you happy. It's purpose, with everything. Your work and your words bringing you true happiness.

Tania Kazaal

Pat Flynn

It means working toward being able to do what I want, when I want, with who I want.

Dan Martell

From a Manhattan
conference room
to a Wednesday in Montana.

  1. Burnout
    New York01

    2013

    Burnout

    100-hour weeks, seven-figure VC, Microsoft + IBM partnerships. The stack ranked everything except the founder running it.

    Bangkok · 10 months02

    2016

    The Pivot

    One backpack. No plan. Long mornings. Muay Thai at sundown. The first time in a decade he could hear himself think.

  3. The Practice
    Bozeman03

    2018

    The Practice

    The Happy Hustle thesis written down — ambition without the toll. A book draft, a podcast pilot, a small room of believers.
