  • How Elevated Land Development Is Building the Future of Houston
    Apr 3 2026

    In this episode of the Houston Hustle, Dr. Paige Ward and Dr. Charlie Ward sit down with Jason Hassenstab of Elevated Development to explore the world of land development and what it takes to build thriving communities in one of the fastest-growing regions in the country.

    Jason shares how growing up in a family construction business shaped his work ethic and entrepreneurial mindset. After more than a decade working in infrastructure projects across California and Hawaii, he made the bold decision to move to Texas and start building something of his own.

    The conversation dives into the realities of land development, including how projects can take years before a single home is built, the importance of infrastructure and utilities, and the long-term planning required to scale a business in this industry. Jason also discusses the strategy behind Elevated Development’s goal of delivering 1,000 residential lots per year by 2034, while expanding into commercial projects like office condos, daycares, and co-living spaces.

    Along the way, he reflects on lessons learned from entrepreneurship, the importance of mentorship and investor communities, and how maintaining strong systems and partnerships allows a small team to operate efficiently at a large scale.

    If you are interested in real estate development, entrepreneurship, or the growth of Houston and Texas, this episode offers a fascinating look behind the scenes at how land becomes neighborhoods.

  • 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.
