Ever feel like you're grinding non-stop but still falling short of that dream reality?
In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I'll drop some serious truth bombs on what it takes to live the life you want, without sacrificing your sanity, family, or soul.
In this powerful conversation, I sit down with none other than Bedros Keuilian, a straight-up beast of an entrepreneur and the founder of Fit Body Bootcamp, one of the fastest-growing fitness franchises in the world. Bedros isn’t just a business boss—he’s a man who’s done the deep inner work, battled through chaos, and come out the other side more dialed-in than ever.
We jammed on a ton of important topics, from smashing the myths around the “American Dream” to redefining what true success really looks like. Bedros shares how he shifted from being a hands-on CEO to a leader of leaders, and how that move changed the game, not just in business, but in his marriage, fatherhood, and personal growth.
This episode is a reminder that discipline backed by standards is the real flex. Not hustle till you burn out. Not “fake it till you make it.” But showing up every day aligned, intentional, and willing to lead yourself first. Bedros opens up about how he makes decisions through the lens of his standards, even something as simple as deciding whether or not to hang with the bros on a Friday night. And that level of clarity? It's rare—and powerful.
Here are a few game-changing takeaways from the convo:
The American Dream isn't dead—it’s more accessible than ever. But you’ve gotta stop blaming the system and start owning your actions.
Discipline is overrated if it’s not backed by non-negotiable standards. Set your standards, filter every decision through them, and you’ll move differently.
Success in business means nothing if you're failing at home. Bedros keeps it real about showing up for his wife and kid, even when it’s hard.
Marriage takes work, and walk-away moments happen. But how you show up when things get tough defines the strength of your relationship.
Faith, AI, and community all play a role in this new era of leadership. Whether it’s spiritual growth or embracing tech, it’s about evolving while staying grounded.
If you’re a purpose-driven hustler looking to harmonize your ambition with a deep, meaningful connection, this is the episode for you.
