Jen Cohen has built one of the more recognizable voices in podcasting through Habits & Hustle, where she digs into the mindset and discipline behind sustainable success. When Jen Cohen joined Sean Kelly on the Digital Social Hour, the conversation turned to the traps that gradually derail entrepreneurs, and what it actually takes to avoid them.
From there, the discussion moves into the kind of candid territory Jen Cohen is known for: why chasing balance can be the wrong goal entirely, how she uses exercise to manage her own mood, and why self-awareness matters more than motivation when building something that lasts.
