  • From Pro Goalkeeper to Founder: Building SetGK & Betting on Yourself
    Mar 20 2026

    This week on Houston Hustle, we sit down with former professional goalkeeper turned entrepreneur, Eric Klenofsky, co-founder and co-owner of SetGK — one of the fastest-growing goalkeeper glove brands in the game.

    After playing for Toronto FC II and coaching the Houston Dash goalkeepers at the professional level, Eric made a bold decision: step away from the security of a full-time coaching contract and go all-in on building his own brand. In this episode, he shares the mindset shifts, risks, and family-first values that drove that decision.

    We talk about: • Building a brand “for the people, by the people” in a niche sports market • The power of mindset, abundance thinking, and embracing the right kind of hard • Leaving a stable job to chase a bigger vision • Why presence as a father mattered more than climbing the coaching ladder • Creating community in youth sports and developing the next generation of leaders

    Eric opens up about the realities of entrepreneurship — the highs, the doubts, the discipline, and the stamina it takes to grow something meaningful. From delivering newspapers at 11 years old to flying pros in for national training events, his story is a reminder that growth requires courage.

    If you’re building something of your own, balancing family and ambition, or chasing impact beyond income — this episode is for you.

    Real hustle. Real stories. Real Houston.

  • Leader Fitness: Turning Rock Bottom Into Rocket Fuel
    Mar 13 2026

    This week on Houston Hustle, Dr. Paige and Dr. Charlie sit down with Patrick Anderson, founder of Leader Fitness, to talk about resilience, redemption, and building one of Houston’s most unique fitness communities.

    Patrick shares his powerful story—from incarceration to entrepreneurship—and how fitness became the catalyst that changed his life. What started as personal transformation evolved into a thriving gym just outside Tomball, complete with an on-site hormone clinic, massage therapy, meal prep, sauna and plunge, and even a barber shop.

    But this episode goes beyond business. We dive into: • Building culture over competition • Delegation, leadership, and scaling multiple companies • Work blocks and CEO time • Balancing ambition with family life • Giving back to the Houston community in a meaningful way • And what legacy really means

    If you're an entrepreneur, a fitness enthusiast, or someone chasing growth in any area of life, this conversation is packed with insight and inspiration.

    Real hustle. Real stories. Real Houston.

  • Nichols Law Group: Marketing, Million-Dollar Cases & McLarens
    Mar 6 2026

    In this episode of Houston Hustle, we sit down with Lester Nichols, managing attorney and founding partner of Nichols Law Group, to unpack the mindset behind one of Houston’s most entrepreneurial personal injury attorneys.

    From nearly becoming a doctor to earning a 75% law school scholarship after crushing the LSAT, Lester shares the unexpected path that led him into law—and how representing his roommate in a minor car accident sparked the launch of his own firm.

    But this isn’t just a legal story. It’s a masterclass in hustle.

    We dive into:

    • Building a law firm from his dining room table
    • Marketing everywhere—including Panda Express lines and dating apps
    • Buying a full-size bus as a mobile billboard
    • Launching multiple businesses (car rentals, diminished value, property management, accident reconstruction) to solve client problems and create vertical integration
    • The $1.8M case that changed everything
    • Why hiring the right personal injury attorney truly matters
    • Burnout, delegation, and building a business that runs without you
    • Naming his kids after supercars and dreaming of a rocket ship in his backyard

    Lester is aggressive in the courtroom, creative in business, and unapologetically authentic. This conversation is about solving problems, betting on yourself, and building something that lasts beyond you.

    Real hustle. Real stories. Real Houston.

    If you’re an entrepreneur, law student, or anyone who believes opportunity is created—not found—this episode is for you.
