For The Love Of Money Podcast | Business | Philanthropy | Entrepreneur | Lifestyle and Success with Chris Harder

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. Listen in to find out what's holding everyone back and how YOU can get started!

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. We cover so many different topics from his financial rock bottom when the market crashed to earning it all back and much more, plus investments and how generosity is a non-negotiable in his life. Our conversation is proof that Jessie and his family are living their lives to the fullest – and I hope it spurs you to do the same.

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.

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. He was pushed out of a firm partnership so he dug his heels in and worked countless hours to keep profits coming in so he could support him and his son. However, when his then 6-year-old, Jeremy, drew a picture of his dad surrounded by computers and phones while working, he knew something had to chang

If you’ve been listening to my podcast for a while now, you know that I try to be as transparent as humanly possible. 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 blurting out whatever came to mind. Lori and I have both had a lot going on the past few months – Lori’s Bliss Project event, my Mastermind, other speaking events for Lori (where I helped her prepare), Lori’s book launch and our new Aligned course.

Manifesting is far more than just thinking about something you want. Instead it’s about becoming the version of yourself who already has the thing you desire and then taking action to make it happen. During our conversation, Kathrin breaks down the manifestation process even further and does it in such a clear and concise way that I know it will help you shift your practices (manifesting, abundance and attracting) immediately.

Today, I want to tell you a story about a Ferrari, a landscaper and a dent. 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 attendant, but this time, the attendant had some bad news when I came back. Someone had backed into my car resulting in a dent and scratch. Listen in to see how I handled it...

Drew is one of the most giving people I know – in all areas of life. He’s made it his mission to help as many people as he can while also spreading massive amounts of joy, abundance and love. With a mission like this, Drew is making such an impact and has inspired me yet again to do more and I hope his message pushes you to do the same.  

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, this is true. But from a wealth perspective, wealth is NOT a pie. It’s a living, growing, shrinking and expanding organism. So comparing wealth to a pie doesn’t work. And if you think it does, it’s only going to hold you back from accumulating wealth because you’ll think someone else is getting hurt if you

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 problem with her side hustle, she was nudged into it.

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 listed six areas in which you could possibly give more to.

Many of you have likely heard about Kyle and his epic story. But for those who don’t know, he was born with a rare condition called congenital amputation that left him with arms that end at the elbows and legs that end around his knees. Kyle shares his incredible story and “No Excuses” philosophy in the hope that it inspires others to banish their excuses and make the world a better place. My hope is that his story inspires you to do the same.  

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 So when this question came up again, it got my wheels turning. Should I feel guilty? My answer was no, but I quickly let my thoughts put doubt in my head. Once I was able to reframe these thoughts I stuck to my original answer and here’s why. 

Sean’s comeback story is incredible and he wants everyone to know that you don’t have to be perfect to be successful. You can come from any background, screw up colossally and still find success – if you do the work. Be sure to listen in to the full episode to find out how he turned his profound struggle into a successful life and business – and now a new book! There are countless valuable takeaways from our conversation!

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 several people working on a business – not just one person. Listen in to hear some of the amazing things I o
