Are you hitting the gym daily but seeing zero change in the mirror? There’s a reason for that. In this episode, I sit down with Mark Sisson, Founder of Primal Kitchen & Peluva, to break down why running isn’t the fat-loss solution most people think it is. We talk about the concept of metabolic flexibility, and why walking is one of the most underrated tools for longevity, brain function, and creativity. We also share the benefits of walking, why doing less can often get you better results, and how walking is the best tool for ANY relationship.

Hosted by entrepreneur and author Lori Harder, Earn Your Happy is a raw and relatable look at what it actually takes to build a meaningful life and business. This podcast lives in the messy middle ground between a bold vision and its realization, exploring the risks, the failures, and all those moments of doubt that nobody talks about on a polished highlight reel. Lori’s conversations are grounded in real experience-her own journey as a founder and host-and they cut through the noise of typical business advice. You’ll hear honest stories about the rollercoaster of chasing big goals, where laughter and vulnerability are just as important as strategy. It’s this authentic, no-BS approach that has resonated with so many, earning the show recognition as a top entrepreneurship podcast. Each episode feels like a candid talk with a friend who’s been there, offering not just inspiration but practical perspectives for navigating your own path. Tune in for a dose of reality that’s as motivating as it is genuine, proving that building something you love is never a straight line.
