Summary

Entrepreneurship, financial anxiety, and a guinea pig (yes, really).

When you’ve got a stuffed guinea pig on your desk and a mic in front of you, it’s only a matter of time before you talk about that one time you ate guinea pig in Peru. (Spoiler: It was pretty good.) That’s how we open today’s show—but from there, things get real.

Today’s main event features Rudy Mawer, founder of 60 Day Hustle, who joins Joe Saul-Sehy to share his incredible story. Rudy grew up in a modest home in England, raised by two world-class triathletes who pushed him to pursue excellence. He didn’t come from wealth—but he did build it, and fast. Rudy opens up about:

His path from sports scientist to serial entrepreneur
The role mentorship and strategic networking played in his success
Why legacy matters just as much as hustle
His latest documentary project and what drives him today

Then, we turn to a conversation sparked by actor Seth Rogen’s recent interview with Dax Shepard. Rogen confessed he’s spent years saving out of fear—and maybe missed out on life in the process. So we ask:

Are you hoarding cash out of anxiety?
What happens when your savings plan becomes a cage?
And how can Stackers find balance between security and spontaneity?

Finally, we wrap up with one heck of a weather report. Mom’s neighbor Doug recounts the epic ice storm that left him snowed in, powered down, and questioning all his life choices. (Okay, maybe not all of them—but definitely his chainsaw strategy.)

As always, Doug brings the trivia heat (and a little airline history), and we share some listener reflections that tie it all together.

It’s a jam-packed episode—from financial fear to frozen driveways—with a little Peruvian culinary adventure tossed in.
