“Choose a job you love, and you'll never have to work a day in your life.” — Confucius
Cary Jack is the founder of The Happy Hustle, a top-ranked podcast and movement dedicated to helping people achieve balance, freedom, and purpose. After burning out as a tech entrepreneur, Cary made a radical shift — trading 80-hour weeks for a 20-hour workweek that still generates millions in revenue.
Now, through his bestselling book, wilderness masterminds, and global stage presence, Cary is showing people how to align their work with their well-being. In doing so, Cary has proven that you don’t have to sacrifice health and happiness to achieve big goals — you just have to rethink your approach.

Cary grew up splitting time surfing on the beaches of Sarasota, Florida, and playing cowboy in the mountains of Red Lodge, Montana, where he first learned the art of a balanced lifestyle. A dedicated father, loving husband, and man of god who resides in Bozeman, Montana, Cary can often be found in nature’s glory fly fishing for rainbows, riding his noble steed, snowboarding the slopes or bowhunting for elk in the wilderness.
As a passionate humanitarian, Cary is a member of The Rotary Club, 1% for The Planet, Sea Shepherd Fast-Action Crew, and an Eagle Mount Volunteer.
In this episode:
