The Chris Harder Show

Christine Hassler – Episode 42 – How Expectation Hangovers Are Costing You Wealth   Today's guest, Christine Hassler, is one of the wisest people I've had on my show to date and I know you're going to learn a lot from her stories and experiences, too.   As a child, Christine always felt as though she didn't belong. Growing up with some health problems, she was always seen as different and wasn't w...

  What's your abundance story? Are you happy with where you're at? Or do you operate from a place of lack? If you're the latter, it's time to change things up.   As you learned from my previous mini episode, we're ALL entitled to abundance, but we're not guaranteed it. That means, when it comes to your own abundance story, it's up to YOU to make the decisions.   So first off, you're the one who se...

After studying corporate business and graduating from college, small-town Wisconsin girl, Jenna Kutcher, landed her dream job (or at least she thought) in a large Midwest-based corporation. Unfortunately, her dreams of wearing heels and a business suit morphed into wearing khaki and red – and was far from glamorous. She knew there had to be something more in store for her.   Enter in the $300 Crai...

Do you know why you haven't chased down that radical wealth and abundance that you KNOW you're entitled to and capable of earning? Get ready, it's time for a deep-dive into your mind!   I can tell you from personal experience, that it's one of the worst feelings to know that you can do something, but you 're not doing it! But the good news is that you can begin to eliminate these feelings by askin...

Everyone, meet Amber Lilyestrom, a fellow entrepreneur and passionate soul who left a successful career to make a bigger impact and fulfill her soul's higher calling, which has since allowed her to pour more of her time and soul into her family. She now enjoys pushing herself beyond her human limits and mindset roadblocks that inevitably pop up along the way – all to be the BEST version of who she...

  First off, pardon my French, but I really felt the need for an emphasis, a real punch-in-the-gut phrase to drive this episode's message home. One of my recent pet peeves (that completely blows my mind) is when people say they don't know how to do something or how to get started. I politely call BS! "We live in the easiest time to start a business and thrive that there has ever been. "   Informat...

Even though my guest today, Ryan Blair, is known for being one of the most successful entrepreneurs out there, you wouldn't know it by his humble, surprised attitude with that title. Ryan's success story alone will have you believing that you too can do anything if your mind is wired right. Oh, and you'll likely discover that you're already a mathematician – you just don't know it yet.  Early on i...

  For the last handful of years or so, I've had a phrase/mantra that I've repeated to myself over and over:  "Ego is our greatest overhead. " I attribute a large part of my wife and I's financial abundance to this very phrase (it will be my next tattoo – hold me to it). There was a time not that long ago that my ego drove a lot of my decisions, in turn costing me…I don't even want to know how much...

Marshall Morris – Episode 34 – Getting Past FEAR: From Broke in the Desert to a $30 Million Business I must say that this interview is one of my favorite interviews to date because internet marketing ninja, Marshall Morris, kept surprising me with his down to earth, get-it-done attitude, generosity and life and business insights. Did I mention that when he started out, the only internet skill he k...

  The title kind of makes you think, doesn't it? Maybe you think I've completely lost it, but it makes perfect sense. Often times our desire to stay comfortable is why we haven't reached goals or the abundance we long for. So many of us are addicted to that feeling that place of being comfortable and it keeps us treading water in the same spot.  "That comfort drives every single decision we make…o...

  It's not often that you hear of successful entrepreneurs who never actually planned to be an entrepreneur. And that's just one of the reasons why I'm so excited to share with you my conversation with YouTube star and "accidental entrepreneur," Amanda Bucci. It all began as Amanda was finishing up her nursing degree in college. With an ongoing interest and passion for fitness, she decided to trac...

My Two Cents – Ep. 31 – Abundance Hack – Are You Confusing the Universe? Have you ever wanted something, thought about it incessantly, only to proclaim at a later time that you don't? What if I told you that that action alone could be preventing you from multiple things – from a car to a successful business? "Everything you do, say and think is manifesting something physical. It 's creating a resu...

One would never know that the highly successful leadership expert and author, Steve Farber once dreamed of becoming a musician – playing guitar, writing songs – the whole bit.  Those dreams, however, were put to the side when he soon realized that supporting a family and music didn't mesh well together at the time. So, he gave up the idea of a career in music and began his search for a job. Fortun...

My Two Cents – Ep. 29 – Dealing with Naysayers... Jake Paul's Advice.  This past weekend at a mastermind event, I asked one of the younger (but very wise and successful) attendees, Jake Paul, how he deals with resistance or other people who are out to criticize what he does. His simple answer: "Don 't let a few dirty dishes in the sink ruin the rest of the home. "   Boom! Enough said. It really is...

Like a lot of us, Dr. Michael DiMarco started his career in jobs that didn't serve him (or the people he was supposedly serving). Looking back, he's now grateful that being fired from those jobs was just one of the things that needed to happen for him to start pursuing his own dreams. "Everything is a little nudge pushing you to where you're supposed to be." With an ongoing interesting in both bod...

For some, My Two Cents topic today may be quite controversial, but we're going to talk about it anyway. (Check out my upcoming challenge at  Fortheloveofmoney.com/challenge ) When doing a good deed or a random act of kindness, is it acceptable to share on social media (or anywhere else) – be it with videos, pictures or posts? Some would argue that if someone shares their generous act that it autom...

Joshua Feuerstein – Episode 26 – What does THIS preacher think about gaining massive wealth? From very humble beginnings and a terrible speech disability, Joshua Feuerstein's story is not one you want to miss. His experiences and stories are jaw-dropping, and while you may not get why I have a preacher on this podcast, you will by the end as he drops some invaluable social media knowledge bombs th...

Well, that got your attention, didn't it? It got mine, too. Let me explain… The other morning, my wife, Lori, and I were on our way to Soul Cycle, one of our weekly workout outings. It was a good day and we were chatting back and forth. We had been driving for only 10 blocks when out of nowhere a guy who looked like he was ready to go to work, gave us the middle finger. This was no ordinary execut...

  It will probably not come as a surprise that today's guest, Evan Tardy, was born with entrepreneurship blood running through his veins. His grandfather took the risk years ago to walk away from the already-in-place family farm and started a company, which is now run by his own father. Both men played a pivotal role in instilling a strong worth ethic in Evan, and further supporting those roles wi...

My Two Cents – Ep. 23 – An Entrepreneur's Hack Guaranteed to Boost Your Income  Here it is, the business hack you've been waiting for… Delegation. Ok, so this isn't a new concept, but stick with me because I'm going to share my "formula" and rules that make this a game-changer for your business and life. While the idea of delegation is quite basic, it's often not used to its full potential – if at...

I am so excited (like geeking-out excited) for you to hear my conversation with Melyssa Griffin. She truly exemplifies the meaning of true entrepreneurship and giving, and I can't wait for you listen. (This podcast is a must for anyone who has a passion and wants to make a living by doing just that.) For those who may not know, Melyssa is a rockstar at teaching online courses and live workshops fo...

Wait a second, this is a podcast about giving, right? So why in the world am I talking about buying a Ferrari? While the title seems a bit contradictory, I assure you there's more to it. If you've listened to my other podcasts, you know that I'm all about smashing negative wealth stereotypes. And that's why I want ALL my listeners to have the ability to BUST through any mental blocks they have aro...

Interviewing some of the youngest, most successful people I know today triggered me to ask one of my favorite questions, "What was your money mindset growing up?" I think people perceive wealthy individuals as "lucky" or "dealt the good hand in life," when truly I feel like 9 times out of 10, entrepreneurs didn't START off that way, which is why I like to hear (and share with my audience) everyone...

"Your economy is YOUR economy." How you live, how you run your business and/or behave as an employee, what you spend and what your savings habits are – that's all up to you. It's in your hands…literally. I repeat, "Your economy is YOUR economy." So for all of my listeners who think we're in "tough times" right now, I'm here to have you try on a new idea, change your way of thinking and ask you to...

Born into an interracial family, Brendon Ayanbadejo's early first years were spent in Lagos, Nigeria. After his parents had decided to go their separate ways, he and his siblings moved back to the U.S. with their mom. "Growing up with a brother only 18 months older than me gave me my competitive edge or a bit of a 'chip on my shoulder' sort-of-speak. I felt like I always had something to prove. I...
