Hustle & Flowchart: Mastering Business & Enjoying the Journey

The Hustle & Flowchart Podcast with Joe Fier is all about how to build a business so it gives you the freedom and fuel for your life. We discuss systems, mindset tweaks, reframes, and strategies for entrepreneurs (and really anyone) to enjoy the process of being in business and having fun. This isn't for the entrepreneur looking to build a billion dollar business, rather someone who is looking to build systems that work for you, so you can make more money than you need just by working part-time. I was a chronic hustle-mode kinda guy and I want to share my experiences and mentors I've met along the way to help you reframe things so you can be the most effective as an entrepreneur. Join in conversations with Joe Fier and various mentors sharing principles and strategies to put this into action for yourself. Please enjoy and share with your friends! Listen Notes

Craig Ballantyne is known by his clients as the “World’s Most Disciplined Man”. He built his Turbulence Training Empire with over 13 million viewers, and then Craig acquired the world’s biggest success newsletter, EarlyToRise.com. His first book, The Perfect Day Formula, has helped over 35,000 high-performers own the day and take back control of your life. 

On today’s show, we talk about his early beginnings in Canada and how he reached a goal to become super fit while at the same falling into what he calls the “paradox of freedom” and why that is not exactly a good thing. From there we dive into how Craig coaches people on the proper way to set boundaries and maintain structure for their lives, how to get your values and vision in order and effective ways to deal with anxiety and stress.

After the show, make sure to listen to the previous episodes with James Altucher and  Justin Goff we referred to, which will give you even more insight on how to deal with these issues and ways to make your life more peaceful, focused and stress-free.

We need this structure and these systems in place and when you put that together, you get true freedom.” - Craig Ballantyne

Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • What Craig has learned from an ancient philosopher and how it rings true today
  • How Craig ended up in the ER twice while he was in the best shape of his life
  • Why Craig only has four apps on his phone and which ones he uses
  • Breathing exercises to immediately calm you down
  • Why most of us are planning our work week out all wrong
  • The four most important things to be clear on if you are to get ahead
  • The right way to deal with social media (and all those darn notifications)
  • How we are wired wrong for the modern world and how to step away from it
  • Warning signs of anxiety and stress and how to cope
  • How to create your vision and work with it to align with your goals
  • And much, much more!

On today’s show, we are chatting with Jason Hsiao, the Co-Founder & Chief Video Officer of Animoto, an award-winning online video maker that makes it easy for anyone to create high-performing video. As a former producer for MTV and Comedy Central, Jason was always thinking ahead and knew that there would come a day when big budget videos could someday be created easily at home. Jason talks about how the business got started plus how he and his co-founders strategically planned their way to move to New York and create a new software program that was ahead of its time. 

He also dives into the key elements behind all the things you can do with Animoto and why you do not have to even get in front of the camera nor have any video content at all, and still be successful in creating professional looking videos. He also discusses the different ways to use video on the major social platforms and which one, in particular, is currently the wild west when it comes to grabbing people’s attention with your videos. 

When you are done listening be sure to check out our other episodes with Rob Burns and Billy Gene Shaw for even more tips on how to use video effectively and get your message and brand out there to the greatest amount of people. 

One second on the internet is an eternity these days...on the internet, you start with 100% of your audience and you’ll be lucky if you still have half the people watching, so you don’t save the best for last, you save the best for first.” - Jason Hsiao

Some Topics We Discussed Include:
