Episode 17 – From Broke in L A to Building Hollywood Empires My Conversation with Nicholas Capone
Have you ever hit rock bottom… and somehow felt that moment was the turning point?
In this week’s episode of The Mindful Hustle, I sit down with the incredibly insightful Nicholas Capone — actor, producer, business owner, and one of the most spiritually grounded creatives I’ve ever met.
Nicholas takes us through a raw, real, and deeply transformational journey — from being stranded in L.A. with no money, no support, and a dream that looked impossible… to becoming a thriving producer and entrepreneur, building film, video game, and media companies aligned with purpose and power.
What stood out to me most was his fierce clarity:
“If you can’t get what you want done within eight hours, it’s not about the hours — it’s about the quality of your work.”
That hit me. Because so many of us — especially conscious creators and high performers — overwork ourselves trying to prove something. But Nicholas reminds us: your impact doesn’t come from the hustle. It comes from alignment.
In this powerful conversation, we explored:
The identity shifts that allowed him to move from starving artist to industry executive
The spiritual and emotional discipline required to lead in high-stakes environments
How deep mentorship, generosity, and relationships became his greatest currency
Why self-knowledge, stillness, and quality thinking are the new business edge
The energetic difference between “chasing money” vs. “being the one who attracts”
Whether you're building a brand, launching a vision, or redefining success on your own terms — this episode will light a fire in your spirit and bring you back to your center.
I can’t wait for you to hear this.
