What happens when you've got all the money, the homes, the boats, and the toys, but you're checked out at home? Trent McMurtrey, Co-founder of Battle Worn Foundation and Battle Worn Legacy, knows that story firsthand.

Today he leads veterans, first responders, and entrepreneurs toward a life built on faith, family, and real purpose. In this conversation, Trent opens up about why he stopped saying he's busy, how he redefined success, and what happens when battle tested warriors learn to surrender in the Montana mountains.

Hike & Pod! 23 years of Building a Business using this 1 Concept with Founder/CEO of M&M Quality Solutions, Brian McMaster

I sat down with Brian McMasters, founder of M&M Quality Solutions, on one of our favorite hiking pods out in Montana. Brian's been running his logistics company for 23 years and has been part of our Happy Hustle community for three of them, and this conversation is packed with real talk on what it actually takes to stay in business that long. We get into persistence, why entrepreneurship gets lonely without the right people around you, and the exact moment Brian realized he'd been chasing money instead of what actually mattered. He opens up about shifting his company toward health and wellness, leading with real people instead of bots, and the one regret he'd change if he could go back. His advice on relationships and business alike comes down to one simple idea: give first, and it comes back tenfold. If you've ever felt like the hustle was costing you more than it was giving back, this episode is going to hit home. Brian's story is proof that the businesses and lives built on people, not just profit, are the ones that last.

Logan Forsyth, co-founder and co-CEO of the eight figure content firm mediascaling.com, joins Cary Jack for a hiking episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, recorded out in the Montana wilderness during a mastermind trip. Logan's team has generated over 10 billion views and 24 million followers for founder led brands, and in this episode he breaks down exactly why content has become as essential as having a website, and how brand and proof are the two assets no one can copy, not even with AI. This episode covers the real reasons most people fail at content, from burning out without systems to using AI in a way that makes every business sound the same. Logan also opens up about digital detoxes, the power of getting outside the noise of daily life, and why community and mentorship matter more than people realize when building something big. Whether you're just getting started with content or trying to figure out why your current strategy isn't converting, this conversation offers a clear, no fluff breakdown of what actually builds trust at scale. Listeners will walk away with practical takeaways plus some honest reflections on faith, family, and thinking generations ahead instead of just the next quarter.

In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I sit down with my good friend Ben Wilson for a real, grounded, no-BS conversation about wealth, legacy, faith, and what it actually means to live a life that feels aligned. Ben is the Owner and Broker of Team Wilson Real Estate Partners and one of the most intentional humans I know. His team owns and manages over $300 million in real estate assets and has surpassed $1 billion in total sales, but what really stood out to me from the moment we met wasn’t the numbers. It was how he shows up as a husband, father, leader, and man of faith. This episode matters because Ben doesn’t just talk about success; he lives it in a way that doesn’t sacrifice family, integrity, or joy along the way.
