Are your habits helping you … or are they silently sabotaging it?

In this solo episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I’m getting raw and real about the three vices that are straight-up wrecking your focus, draining your energy, and crushing your discipline. We’re talkin’ Drugs, Alcohol, and Porn—AKA, D.A.P. The stuff no one wants to admit is a problem, but let’s be honest... for many entrepreneurs and high performers, it is.

I dive into some eye-opening stats (like how substance abuse is twice as common in entrepreneurs), and why what we think is “normal” or “just unwinding” can be dragging us down. Whether it’s hitting a blunt to chill, winding down with a drink, or scrolling through explicit content, these vices aren’t helping you build the life you want—they’re keeping you stuck.

But don’t worry, this ain’t all doom and gloom. I’m also sharing what’s been working for me—like cold plunges, mocktails, and dialing up real connection over cheap dopamine. Because the truth is, if you want to Happy Hustle your dream reality, you’ve gotta trade those temporary escapes for long-term fulfillment.

This is one of those heart-to-heart episodes where we strip away the fluff and talk about what’s going on behind the grind. I promise it’ll challenge you—and hopefully inspire you—to audit your habits and upgrade your lifestyle for the better.

So if you’re ready to take a hard look in the mirror, rewire your lifestyle, and step into your highest self, tune in now.
