What does it take to turn life's darkest moments into stepping stones for success? In this Habits and Hustle episode, I talk with entrepreneur Michael Chernow, founder of Kreatures of Habit, to discuss how structured routines and intentional habits can transform lives. 


We dive into Michael’s journey from addiction to becoming a successful entrepreneur, devoted father, and advocate for healthy living. We also discuss intentional parenting, the power of morning and night routines, and the vital importance of asking for help.


Michael Chernow is a transformative figure in entrepreneurship and wellness who turned his life around after battling addiction in his early years, achieving two decades of sobriety through commitment to positive habits and routines. As a restaurateur, he co-founded The Meatball Shop and founded Seamore's in New York City, scaling both concepts to six locations each, while also creating Kreatures of Habit, a lifestyle brand focused on optimized nutrition and apparel. Beyond his business ventures, Chernow is deeply committed to helping others transform their lives through fitness, nutrition, and mindset coaching, hosting The Kreatures of Habit podcast where he explores the daily habits that drive success.
