What does it really take to go from blue-collar grind to building and selling a multi-million-dollar business?

In this episode of the Time Hacker Podcast, Mike Fallat sits down with Chuck Staszkiewicz, a former master plumber who grew a service-based business from nothing into a $20M+ operation and successfully sold it to private equity.

Chuck shares his raw, unfiltered journey. From growing up with nothing, battling early life setbacks, and working endless hours in the trades, to discovering the hard business lessons most contractors learn too late. You’ll hear how pricing mistakes nearly cost him everything, how COVID exposed the cracks in his business, and why mentorship, systems, and intentional action completely changed the trajectory of his company.

This conversation dives deep into what separates struggling service businesses from scalable, sellable assets. Customer experience, pricing psychology, grassroots marketing, leadership, systems, and why you do not need to be the cheapest to win.

If you’re a service-based entrepreneur trying to break past seven figures, get out of the truck, or build something worth selling, this episode is required listening.

In this powerhouse episode of the Time Hacker Podcast, Mike Fallat sits down with elite fitness strategist and off-the-grid warrior Fraser Bayley to unpack the truth about building a high-performance body without wasting time, money, or energy.

Fraser reveals why most entrepreneurs destroy their energy through overtraining, undertraining, dehydration, and bad software (aka bad food). He breaks down why band workouts beat traditional weights after 40, how to find your Goldilocks training zone, and how to unleash more energy from sunlight, movement, and low-barrier daily fitness.

Mike and Fraser dive into consistency, recovery, functional strength, mitochondrial “charging,” documenting your fitness journey, and building a body that makes you hard to kill — all without stepping foot in a gym.

If you’re a high-performing entrepreneur who wants more energy, better health, sharper thinking, and a sustainable fitness plan that actually fits your life… this episode is a game changer.

In this gripping episode of the Mike Fallat Time Hacker Podcast, Mike sits down with author and entrepreneur Bevan Cox, whose new book Turn Toward the Storm: How I Turned Trauma into Triumph unpacks one of the most harrowing and inspiring redemption stories you’ll ever hear.

Bevan opens up about a childhood marked by trauma, a lifetime of people-pleasing, and the destructive belief systems that followed him into adulthood. After finding himself in an unhealthy marriage, losing his identity, and eventually hitting rock bottom—culminating in a near-suicide attempt—Bevan experienced a series of life-altering events that forced him to confront his deepest wounds.

One of the most shocking moments of the conversation: Bevan describes being wrongfully accused of attempted murder, arrested, held without bail, and facing a potential life sentence. A last-minute revelation about a forgotten dash cam—something he almost returned—ended up saving him from prison. That moment became a spiritual turning point, rekindling his relationship with God and reshaping his entire identity.

Mike and Bevan unpack the lessons learned:
• How childhood trauma shapes adult decisions
• Why people-pleasers become magnets for narcissists
• How to rebuild your sense of self from nothing
• Why peace—not profit—is the highest pursuit
• How entrepreneurs can turn personal storms into rocket fuel
• And why true confidence comes from steering through chaos, not avoiding it

Bevan’s story is raw, real, and packed with wisdom for anyone battling their own storm—especially entrepreneurs, empaths, and anyone trying to heal from the past.
