About this listen

Optimized Entrepreneur is a podcast for entrepreneurs who want to build profitable, scalable businesses without burning themselves out in the process.

Hosted by Jeremy Hanson, this show focuses on the real operating system behind business success: the entrepreneur themselves.

Most business podcasts focus on tactics—marketing hacks, growth tricks, and surface-level strategies. Optimized Entrepreneur goes deeper. Each episode explores how personal capacity, emotional regulation, decision-making clarity, discipline, and systems thinking directly determine whether a business grows sustainably or collapses under pressure.

This podcast is built for small business owners, service business operators, blue-collar entrepreneurs, and multi-business owners who want long-term success without chaos, exhaustion, or constant firefighting.

Jeremy draws from over two decades of real-world experience building and operating multiple service-based businesses. Episodes combine practical business insights with personal development principles that apply in the real world—not theory, not influencer advice, and not Silicon Valley hype.

Listeners will learn why personal capacity sets the ceiling for business growth, how to scale without burnout, how to distinguish activity from real progress, and why systems, consistency, and clarity outperform hustle and intensity over the long term.

Optimized Entrepreneur challenges hustle culture and rejects the idea that success requires constant sacrifice. Instead, it teaches an operator-first approach to entrepreneurship—where the business is built to support life, not consume it.

If you are tired of chasing tactics, overwhelmed by noise, or working harder without seeing better results, this podcast is designed for you.

Optimized Entrepreneur is not about doing more.

It is about becoming better—so your business can too.

  • Why Your Personal Life Is Sabotaging Your Business Success

    Why Your Personal Life Is Sabotaging Your Business Success
    Jan 20 2026

    Why can't you break through your revenue plateau? The answer isn't in your marketing strategy—it's in your morning routine. In this brutally honest episode of The Optimized Entrepreneur, discover why your business problems are actually personal problems in disguise. Learn the shocking connection between waking up on time and closing more deals, how marriage problems directly impact profit margins, and why hidden vices drain your bank account faster than bad expenses. We reveal the "Stress Tax" costing you tens of thousands in lost revenue, expose how lack of discipline at home creates chaos at work, and provide the 7-question Internal Audit that uncovers the real reasons your service business is stuck. Perfect for cleaning company owners, pressure washing operators, HVAC contractors, and any blue-collar entrepreneur who's tired of treating symptoms instead of fixing the root cause. Includes the exact morning routine that increased one owner's close rate by 15% in two weeks and the relationship fixes that boost business performance. No motivation fluff—just field-tested truth about why your bank account is a direct reflection of your bedroom habits and what to do about it today.
