In this episode of Houston Hustle, we sit down with Christien Palumbo, founder of Grain Offering Pasta Co., to talk organic ingredients, bold vision, and the power of believing bigger.

From working in restaurant kitchens in Rhode Island to launching a one-man pizza operation at Montgomery Farmers Market, Christien shares how he turned his love of food into a fast-growing Houston brand built on quality, connection, and conviction.

But this conversation goes far beyond flour and focaccia.

We dive into: • Why he only uses third-party tested, glyphosate-free Italian flour • The difference between a poverty mindset and a prosperity mindset • Faith, manifestation, and quantum leaps in business • The discipline of training your mind like a muscle • Scaling from solo hustle to food truck to brick-and-mortar vision • Why loving your customers is the ultimate marketing strategy

If you have ever battled doubt while building something from scratch… If you have ever wondered whether success and faith can coexist… If you are chasing a dream that feels bigger than your current reality…

This episode is for you.

Real hustle. Real mindset. Real Houston.

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.

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.
