We want to chang ...

So, Zack was eating Chinese food recently and got a fortune that read, "If you're feeling down, then try throwing yourself into work." For Zack, he saw only the pitfalls of his past - pushing too hard and too far and ending up with medical issues that nearly put him out of commission. However, Jason viewed it differently: as a way to compartmentali…

So, how do you stay ahead of the competition? How can you beat out the competition? How can you win jobs, even without a huge level of experience? By staying a chapter ahead. Now, it doesn't have to be literal. You don't have to be reading ahead in some book every day, but this concept is taken from the memoirs of Frank Abagnale Jr. (the inspiratio…

In this episode, we discuss a section from a book that Jason is reading. It's from "Man's Search for Meaning," by Viktor Frankl. In this part of his book, Frankl writes: “Don't aim at success. The more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only do…

This week on Hustle Machine we discuss football. No, we're not a football show, but we take a look at the unhealthy dog eat dog competition often seen in the football world and see how it related to the toxic world of hustle culture. Zack connects this topic with some recent news he's seen with college football coach, Nick Saban, and we briefly dis…

Today we're talking about being a boss! After a bit of rambling about The Lonely Island, The Office, John C. Reiley, and The Boss, we get started. Being your own boss isn't easy, but it's a lifestyle and professional choice that many folks make. It's not about living on a beach making passive income each day. Rather, there's a lot of work, challeng…

Let get started, shall we? Alternatively, we thought about calling this episode, "Just Do It," but we have reservations about being sued by Nike. So, getting started? Today's show is all about getting you ready to take the next step with your business and just get started. Pick the place and time and jump. Do what you love to do now. Life is unbeli…

Can we start off by just appreciating how great Zack’s cold open to the episode was? Let’s take a moment. 1… 2… 3… Okay. Moving on. Let’s get back to the roots of our show today: talking about hustle culture and working to redefine the toxic mindset that it’s become. Today’s episode is about hustle culture groups and what they often turn into: a ma…

This week on Hustle Machine, Zack's got beef. And apparently Jason is ready for him to dish! Zack saw an influencer recently post about being in a gym. They were up early. The gym was empty. Then, the influencer began to shame their followers (unsuccessfully we might add): I'm up doing this. And everyone else who doesn't want it bad enough is still…

Today’s episode is all about criticism, so try to be gentle in the comments if you don’t like it, OK? There’s a lot to criticize, whether for good or ill, in this episode. We work on breaking the fourth wall of the internet in the early going, while Zack lists his personal pain list as he dwells on the perils of aging. It doesn’t get more comfortab…

Because we know you’re here for our witty banter as much as our extensive business acumen, we once again start off on a lighter note this week, talking about the etiquette of headphone fashion choices and castigating Zack for his debilitating Apple products addiction. Still, he makes up for it this episode with a proper shout-out to our championshi…

It took us 17 or 18 takes to get this one in the books because Jason’s computer kept freezing up, including at least once early in this final shoot. Find any more instances of him freezing up to win a prize!

To start with, a disclaimer: no one at Hustle Machine is a licensed medical practitioner and neither Jason nor Zack are qualified to give medical diagnoses or professional health advice. Yes, it’s that sort of episode this week, the sort that starts with discussions of “shoulder nipples” and “gut bugs” and veers into Zack showing off his basket ful…

Today’s episode of Hustle Machine is our longest yet, partly because we spend the first half dozen minutes of the episode on our new focus on funny stories about Zack’s bad work habits and unfortunate timing at his old radio station gig. We also find time in the early moments to compare our children to both a cartoon frog from a classic Warner Bros…

Sadly, our faithful viewers just miss out this week on our wonderful dancing intro, which Zack cut off right before the cameras went live. Jason, at least, demonstrates his record scratch technique, so look forward to that in the opening minutes of this week’s episode of Hustle Machine. This week, inspired by a text from a friend of Zack’s, we’re t…

Today’s episode of Hustle Machine is, admittedly, unfinished, or at least only covers part of the topic. We’ll tell you that upfront because, honestly, we could discuss aspects of this week’s topic for hours on end and we try not to strain anyone’s patience in any given episode. Honestly, though, every episode of Hustle Machine is, to some degree, …

We considered a lot of names for this episode, from “When It’s Time to Fly” to “When It’s Time to Jump Out of an Airplane.” We apparently had aviation on the mind when we were discussing this week’s theme of choosing the right time to take that big step, whether it’s launching a new business, starting a new side hustle or taking the plunge in whate…

Welcome to episode 2 of the Hustle Machine! “If you want to go to outer space, go to outer space.” That’s the advice we found from a certain 9-year-old to her older sister and we encourage it wholeheartedly here at Hustle Machine. We just hope that little girl doesn’t have her own podcast yet or she might put us out of job in giving peptalks to tho…
