The Chris Harder Show

  Today's podcast is about something really important, and whether you realize you're doing it or not.   Are you lifting others up or are you accidentally holding them back?   Here's what I mean… Let's say you have a friend who just released a podcast. You've always told them you support them, but are truly showing it with your actions? Are you sharing their podcast on social media and to your oth...

  I can't wait for you all to hear my conversation with entrepreneur and CEO of The Billion Dollar Body, Nicholas Bayerle. Not only did he make a huge transformation physically, he's also made an incredible financial transformation – he just hit seven figures this year! Did I mention he's only 26 years old? Today, Nicholas shares his experiences with other men and coaches them on how they too can...

  What are your tipping habits? Do you give more depending on the level of service you get? What if I told you that your tipping habits actually have more to do with your abundance and wealth than you think?   I learned my tipping habits years ago from my parents who were very generous tippers – no matter what the level of service was. And this stuck with me up until this point and I know it's onl...

  If there was a literal checklist for my ideal guest on For the Love of Money, celebrity dentist Dr. Bill Dorfman, would check them all – and then some. Not only he probably the most famous dentist in the history of dentists (think Extreme Makeover, The Doctors and Oprah Winfrey), he's also co-founder of one of the world' leading dental product companies (BriteSmile and Zoom!).   And while that s...

Today we're talking about momentum – how to get it, keep it and get more of it.   "Momentum is the hardest thing to gain, the easiest thing to lose and the most valuable thing to have. "   This above statement says it all… So much so that I could safely leave it at that, but of course I'm going to elaborate a bit.   Momentum is something that everyone seeks in business. It's that magical feeling w...

Back when my podcast first launched, I interviewed entrepreneur and fellow podcaster, Joel Brown, but the sound quality was so bad that it never aired. That's why today I'm even more excited that we were able to connect one more time to have, in my opinion, an even better conversation.   From a very young age, Joel possessed an empowering mindset. Practicing his entrepreneurial skills at the young...

  I'm sure the title of this episode threw you off today because I am definitely not going to stand up here on a pedestal and tell you about all the things I've done, bought or experienced that make us different. Nope. Not even close… are you ready?   "The difference between you and I is what makes you so valuable. "   It's true! Here's the thing, what I don't have I need to buy from someone. What...

I have my FAVORITE guest on today...but I might be a little biased...my wife Lori Harder is back on today!!   To learn more about our all-new ALIGNED course, check out: BecomeAligned.com . Enrollment close WEDNESDAY so hurry!

I cannot believe these days how many business ideas I hear on a daily basis. And I'm talking epic, game-changing ideas that could make millions of dollars. But here's the thing, the people with the ideas aren't bringing them to fruition. So today, we're going to dive in and talk about the No. 1 reason why these businesses don't get started.   And the No. 1 reason is…lack of follow-through. Yes, su...

The name of my guest today may sound familiar as Jessie Rodriguez is one of the stars of HGTV's Vintage Flip along with his wife. Not only are the houses he flips fantastic, but it's no wonder the show is such a success – he radiates positivity and has a hard work ethic to match it.   We cover so many different topics from his financial rock bottom when the market crashed to earning it all back an...

  Today's episode was spurred by a question I received via Instagram. And while I could have just answered on there, I figured it deserved a longer, more quality and REAL response.   The question was: "How do you think someone's relationship could affect their success and how do you find a partner like this?"   Fair warning, my answers may lead to a huge wave of self-reflection. Firstly, in my opi...

  There's a lot of talk in the entrepreneurial world about maintaining a work-life balance, and today's guest, Mel Abraham, talks about the defining moment that made him focus on what that term really meant. A CPA by education, he was pushed out of a firm partnership and did what anyone would do… He dug his heels in and worked countless hours to keep profits coming in so he could support him and h...

If you've been listening to my podcast for a while now, you know that I try to be as transparent as humanly possible. While most only teach the rosy stuff, I feel it's imperative to see what's normal so you know if you're on the right track. No one is perfect.   Case in point, earlier this week I had a breakdown. Yep, an all-out toddler breakdown, which included throwing my phone on the floor and...

  There are so many different thoughts on the Law of Attraction, so I am super excited for Manifestation Babe (and expert), Kathrin Zenkina, to talk about it today. With her initial interest in the Law of Attraction beginning at the young age of 16, she later realized just how much more was behind truly manifesting all the things you desire into your life.   Manifesting is far more than just think...

Today, I want to tell you a story about a Ferrari, a landscaper and a dent. I normally wouldn't call out the make of the car involved in this story, but the fact that the car is a Ferrari is of significance and represents all the hard work I've put in to own it.   This story was set into motion while getting my hair cut, like I do every two weeks. I park in the same small parking lot that has an a...

            I've gotten to know today's guest, Drew Canole, super well over this past year, and wow, has it been life-changing. A fellow Midwesterner, he was born and raised in Michigan but went after other opportunities and more growth in Florida. While he did find success in the real estate/mortgage arena, the weight piled on and so did his unhappiness once he realized he was escaping his emotio...

There are many things that can hold you back from accumulating wealth, but today, I want to cross one of those off the list. I'm going to prove that if you have more, it doesn't mean that someone else has less.   You know that saying, "your slice of the pie?" It makes it sound like there's only so much pie and if someone gets a bigger piece, another gets less. Ok, if we're talking literal pie, yes...

I think a lot of you are going to relate today with my guest and entrepreneur, Adrienne Dorison. Like many, she found herself in a corporate job that was "OK" and paid the bills, but she ended up starting a business/side hustle because she needed to create space in her life for something that she loved. Initially her goal wasn't to replace her corporate income, but when the corporation had a probl...

This isn't the first time I've discussed the one thing that can truly unlock what you're seeking – and that's giving.   "Giving is the absolute secret to unlock every single thing you want. "   Wherever you are or where you want to be, giving more will ultimately get you there. But what if you're already giving? My advice? Give more. Now don't get me wrong, it's not just giving money. Below I've l...

My history with today's guest, Kyle Maynard, goes back a decade or so to my banking days when I heard him speak at an event and left completely inspired. Imagine my surprise when I met him again two years ago and got a chance to talk with him at Lewis Howes' Summit of Greatness event. I'm so glad that we were able to get him on For the Love of Money and share more with all of you!   Many of you ha...

  Should you feel guilty for having more than others? This isn't a new question, but it came up on my recent trip to Guatemala with Pencils of Promise, an organization that helps villages provide sustainable schools, clean water and sanitation. These are very remote and poor villages that lack many of the modern "comforts" we have here in the U.S.  So when this question came up again, it got my wh...

World-renowned dog trainer, teacher and author, Sean O'Shea, struggled for the first 40 years of his life. Between a dysfunctional family, learning disabilities and a directionless, toxic music career, he knew this lifestyle wasn't working for him. While this often is the point where a person gives up, thinking they've screwed things up forever, Sean did the opposite.   Knowing he didn't have the...

This past weekend, I hosted my first business mastermind and honestly, I'm still on a high from the epic breakthroughs and experiences that were had. There are 24 people in this year's group, but a mastermind can be as small as three to five people too. As a refresher, a mastermind is when a group of people, who have similar goals, come together to lift each other's businesses up so there are seve...

  I'm so honored to have the one and only, Grant Cardone, as a guest today as he's inspired me for the last 20 years of my life. Sounds crazy, but after dropping out of college and getting into the car business, I was selected to hear him speak at an event about sales. It was game-changing for me because it made me realize I wanted to do more than sell cars – I wanted to be the person on the stage...

This is a huge topic that plagues everybody – or at least it seems to anyway. Whether we're stressed about our business not having any traction or we're stressed about all the work that comes with a business with traction, stress doesn't discriminate. That's just real life, right? Not so fast…   While I'm not denying the existence of all stress, I do question how much of the stress we have is real...
