#25 - Welcome back to season 2

Anthony Hernandez — Tue, 29 Oct 2024 08:45:00 -0700

Anthony Hernandez relaunches his podcast, "Family Health and Hustle," discussing how life's seasons prompt personal and professional changes. He explains his absence was due to a job transition where he was asked to switch roles amidst industry struggles, ultimately leading him to focus entirely on his frozen dessert business. This transition was not without its challenges; scaling from part-time to full-time required significant learning and adaptation, including missed opportunities and financial management. He emphasizes the importance of learning from life's adversities rather than just attributing them to external factors.

#22 - Vacations and getting outside my comfort zone

Anthony Hernandez — Wed, 06 Mar 2024 08:00:00 -0700

I tend to dive in when I'm working. I just work, work and I work. Sometimes I forget the reason why I'm working so hard... Good thing my wife is the perfect counter balance to me. Every so often she pulls me out of the weeds and forces me to take a vacation. Which is the perfect time to reset my mind and refocus on why I am so motivated to accomplish my goals.

I recently took 2 fun back to back weekend vacations, with a little unexpected surprise right in the middle. Join me today as I share the new adventure it seems I am beginning.

#21 - My family hustle ruined me

Anthony Hernandez — Wed, 28 Feb 2024 08:00:00 -0700

Hustle or Hobby? You get to pick which one to focus the most on. For me, the hustle is a driving factor for daily decisions. For many years I was ok with the prospect of the 9-5 job. But participating in a family business planted a seed that has lingered in my mind for years. This seed has come to the surface on many occasions. Finally after years I have figured out what it meant.

Every so often you maybe struck with a deep desire to pursue a goal or dream. Many of us, brush it off and keep following the "safe path". But what would happen if you followed that gut feeling? Its not guaranteed that the path will be easy. In fact it will most certainly be the opposite. However, imagine all the things you will learn and experience. Think about the person that will emerge at the end of that journey. Now that is the exciting!

On today's show, we discuss following your gut and pursuing hard goals that can bring happiness and fulfillment.

#15 - A single Dad rediscovers himself

Anthony Hernandez — Wed, 17 Jan 2024 08:00:00 -0700

Life is full of twists and turns. The real measure of your character is how well you endure those challenges and what you focus on during the journey.

14 - Resetting

Anthony Hernandez — Wed, 10 Jan 2024 08:00:00 -0700

It should be no surprise that often times where your journey starts, and the plan for it, is not where it typically ends.. If fact, would you even want that? Those who are committed to succeed and find joy in their journey understand that for every plan, there is a needed pivot along the way. Some big, some small.

There are even times where you get lost, going with the flow. Before you know it, you are off your path or even on a completely different journey. What do you do then? Sometimes small course corrections are necessary. But you may be so far off the path, it is necessary to clear the board and start all over. That can be a scary thing. It can be taxing both physically, emotionally and mentally.

Today I am pleased to speak with Brielle Hernandez. Brielle recently was faced with a similar decision. Stay on the path that was pulling her further from where and Who she wanted to become. OR.. clear the board and reset.

Today's guest is Brielle Hernandez.

Brielle is a Singer/songwriter and new business owner of The Dainti.

#13 - New Year, New Goals!

Anthony Hernandez — Wed, 03 Jan 2024 08:00:00 -0700

Its that time of year again! Time to pull out your notebooks, planners, laptops or journals, reflect on all the successes or short comings the year 2023 had in store for us..

However, it is now most importantly, time to open your minds and dream of what the New Year can hold in store for you, your family and your goals!

My mindset has drastically shifted over the years in regards to goal setting. I use to disregard setting goals and considered it a waste of time..

Oh how things have changed. I now approach new goals, (and specifically the new year) with excitement! I love sitting down and writing, no no.. DREAMING, of what I get to work towards.

What changed?! Well, today I am going to share with you how learning to create proper goals, processes and daily disciplines have made this time of year something I look forward to. I will also share some tips and tricks I have been taught to help make your dreams come true.

Buckle up.. and lets rock 2024!

#12 - A family centered foundation

Anthony Hernandez — Wed, 27 Dec 2023 08:00:00 -0700

I hope you all had a Merry Christmas!

Today, I want to have an unscripted, heart to heart conversation about the importance of a strong family centered foundation.

As we approach this new year, it is inevitable that we will reflect on the past year and look toward the coming one. I hope all of you will take time to reflect over the next few days. During this time of reflection, revisit your "why's". What is important to you and why are you working hard to grow and improve? However, don't forget to focus on "what's".. What is it that brings joy and happiness into your life? What brings you strength and courage? What have you don't right in your life, and how can you spend time nurturing it, so it continues to be a source of strength to you?

Lastly, your "who's". No, not from the Dr. Seuss books.. I am talking about, "who" the most important people are to you.. who do you want to create the most valuable memories with as you take on the journey of growth and achievement?

As you write down your goals for 2024. Include a section for nurturing relationships.. Include those you want to continue to make memories with, and what type of memories you want to make.

You have heard me talk about needing a strong foundation to lean on when times get tough.. I promise you, nothing is better then a strong family centered foundation. When times get tough or challenges arise, revisit these written goals for strength and motivation.

As for me? When I am faced with a challenge, I am empowered by the thought of over coming it because of, AND for my family. I know as you put focus on the life pillar of Family, you will see improved success and joy through out your journey!

Cheers to a great 2023 year coming to an end, and an amazing 2024 approaching!

#9 - Back in my day... wishing was all I knew.

Anthony Hernandez — Wed, 06 Dec 2023 09:00:00 -0700

Do you ever find yourself just wishing something would come true.. only to be discouraged when you realized you were no closer to the desire today, then you were yesterday? Maybe no closer today, then you were a year ago? I can't be the only one that has experienced that. For a large portion of my life, there were things I just wished and wished I had.. Because I had no idea of how to even pursue them. So instead, I just froze up and wished for it. Only to find that years later, I wasn't any closer. Besides not even understanding how to make goals, I was completely oblivious to the fact that personal growth was a universal law to moving toward those goals.. You don't have that "thing", because maybe your not the person that could handle it.. You need to become the type of person that can handle that accomplishment. Today we are going to talk a little about my focus on growth and how self education has become a huge part of my every day life. I will also share some tools I recently discovered, so you can start growing your mind to achieve your goals.

#8 - I miss America...

Introduction

Anthony Hernandez — Fri, 14 May 2021 20:46:06 -0700

Some people create a life plan from an early age. Many of us don’t discover our passions until we are elbows deep in adulting. That doesn’t mean we should brush it aside as “if I could do it differently I would..”. No matter how busy life is, we need to make the time to pursue […]
