♡ Courtney’s Top 10
to Live a Hot, Smart, Rich Life

Methylation Supplement

If you only take one supplement, it NEEDS to be this one. It protects your body from environmental toxins and pollutants, detoxing your liver, balancing your hormones and promoting gut health.

Snack Sticks
I’m pretty active which means I’m always hungry so these high-protein snacks are perfect to always have on hand.

Jet Lag Kit
I don’t believe in jet lag so this kit helps me recover fast to continue living by my “net zero dead time” motto.

Portable internet
I don’t believe in a 9-5, I’m 24/7 working from my phone and laptop so having portable internet to stay connected is critical to making it all happen.

Hoodie
Maggie recently got me this hoodie for the holidays and I can’t seem to take it off.

Favorite Watch
Maggie and I recently got matching watches to *hopefully* help her be on time.

Gua Sha
It depends on who you ask, but according to Maggie I get a daily gua sha (although it’s more like ~3x a week) but I can’t seem to get enough of this tool.

Boxer Brief
I’ve worn these boxers for years but recently just upped by collection of HSR colors.

Performance Sheets
Once you listen to the episode, you’ll know how important sleep is to me and these sheets make every night cooler and better

Surface Laptop
You’ll never find me without this laptop so I had to include it.


♡ Courtney’s Hot, Smart, Rich Tips ♡

2024 in photos

Courtney’s not only an amazing boyfriend, but he’s also a professional athlete, Harvard guest lecturer, best-selling author, exited serial founder, philanthropist, and he’s the co-founder of M13, which is ranked #14 Globally in 2023 HEC-Dow Jones Venture Capital Performance Ranking, with $1.5 billion dollars under management.
He and his brother (hi carter!) founded M13 in 2016 to invest in and incubate the brands changing our world, so they know a little something about hacks to change your life. I’ve learnt so much since dating Courtney that I hope you do too.

Hot Hack 

Cold Plunge, Sauna and Red-Light Therapy.

Smart Hack

An hour of highly curated information diet while I do the hot hack in the morning.

Rich Tip

Start saving now…no matter what amount. Albert Einstein once said that compound interest is the greatest invention of all-time.


Favorite Part of The Conversation

Getting to watch my baby shine at something I know she's excited and passionate about! But if I had to pick, because it took me 45 years to find the one, it was pretty fun listening back at how our love story has evolved.


Something People Don’t Know About You

Everybody knows I'm tough, but fair but what you might not know bout me is that I'm really just a tender-hearted warrior.
