Summary

When reflecting on the past struggles and risks Lori and I had to take in order to build the lives and businesses we have now, we realized something important. Those experiences weren't just about survival, they were given to us to build the risk tolerance and resilience we needed to get to where we are now. We share how I went from plowing snow in freezing Wisconsin winters and cleaning bar bathrooms, and Lori waking up at 4 AM to work at drive-thru coffee shops to make ends meet, to building our dream lives. We also share one mindset shift that will take you to the top of the mountain (hint: it's not talent, luck, or connections).

 

HIGHLIGHTS

  • The #1 lesson we learned from our toughest struggles.

  • How Chris ended up cleaning bars at 3 AM.

  • The real secret to success (it's NOT just working harder).
