Summary

For this extra special edition of the On A Mission Podcast, which here celebrates the incredible milestone of having reached its 100th edition, Ellie is joined by very special returning guests, author Mark Victor Hansen and his wife Crystal. Mark is best known for co-authoring the 'Chicken Soup For The Soul' book series - a phenomenon that has touched and empowered the hearts and minds of readers throughout the world, and which has collectively sold more than 500m copies to date.

Mark and Crystal join this celebratory show to talk about their humble beginnings and how they have driven themselves upwards and onwards to world renown through entrepreneurial spirit, how the transference of energy might be the key to our collective futures, how stories are the most powerful way to learn and to teach, and how through questioning everything we grow and progress as a species.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Those who are born with the entrepreneurial spirit know that challenge only makes us want to work harder. It's proof that success really does originate in the mind. If we develop a fierce mindset, we can overcome anything.
  • The existence we create for ourselves largely depends on the questions we ask. never be afraid to question every narrative, as without doing so, we cannot hope to change our outcomes.
  • Anyone can be financially successful, but the greatest success comes when we follow the direction of our heart's desire, and make this our mission.
  • Whatever we do in life, if we hope to succeed then we must be consistent, persistent and insistent. When we hit the heights, it does not mean we must stop. It means we now have the means to do it again.

BEST MOMENTS

'I've had a phenomenal life and phenomenal prosperity, and everybody can have it in a free enterprise culture'

'Find a problem, fix it, solve it, scale it'

'It's amazing how vastly different outcomes can be when you ask the right questions'

'We are two hearts and one soul'

'We are dedicated to freeing total humanity through comprehensive abundance'

so happy to be back with you and congratulations on your 100th podcast. That's quite an accomplishment.

Oh, thank you. Thank you. I can't think of any better guest to help me celebrate.

0:31.8

Now, how I would describe you to you're an ordinary couple who have achieved some extra ordinary

0:38.3

things. And in this episode, I would like to just dig a little bit deeper. I want to know

0:44.8

what makes you guys tick. Mark, I've been blessed to have a little preview of your biography,

0:51.7

which is getting released very soon. And there's just so much to unpack in there. So

0:58.3

if it's okay with you, Crystal, I'd like to just start by taking Mark back to the beginning.

1:04.4

Because your family were originally Danish immigrants. They were illiterate. They came over

1:09.8

to this country to start a bakery. You had very little in terms of money growing up. And tell

1:19.7

us a little bit about your tale to please Mark. By the way, I love that. Thank you, Ellie.

1:26.3

I would say in the most specific way is what I had the greatest thing I had was

1:30.1

white hot burning desire and aspirations to get out of relative poverty. We weren't we could eat,

1:36.8

but that was it. I had to start buying my own clothes at nine years old and I've never stopped buying

1:41.0

clothes since. It's true. We both love clothes and we have a good time and it has been the most

1:49.1

wonderful journey so far. And it would be a hundred and twenty seven so there's going to be more to

1:53.1

tell and you'll have to have it in your one thousand podcast. Absolutely. Now you mentioned there

2:01.0

that you were buying your own clothes from age nine. But that wasn't all you were buying from age

nine. You've been on holiday with the family. They managed to get the money together. You've been
