How To Quickly Scale Your Income! Pt. 2 Mar 16, 2023

It’s never been easier to make more money because the competition is almost non-existent.

Your opposition's laziness, sense of entitlement and unwillingness to endure presents YOU with the ultimate opportunity.

I’ve been in the workforce for 25+ years.

I’ve bagged groceries…

Scrubbed toilets.

Served my country honorably.

Worked in strip clubs.

Sold illegal drugs…

And built a business that’s generated over $50 million dollars to date from the ground up.

I’m a millionaire.

For the last 13 years I’ve studied success, immersed myself in personal development, consumed content from millionaires and most importantly…

I did the work.

Throughout my journey I’ve encountered soul crushing adversity, faced devastating setbacks and have failed in every possible human metric.

In that process, I learned that making more money is actually quite simple. You just have to train yourself to do things average people don’t want to do.

In today’s episode, I'm going to tell you exactly what you can do to start bringing more value to the work force and scale your income fast!

The Truth About Work Life Balance Dec 05, 2022

The idea that “work life balance” is the key to a happy, healthy, successful life is a LIE.

Porn: Why It’s Making You Less of a Man and How to Quit For Good Nov 23, 2022

Testosterone and discipline are a man’s 2 most powerful weapons.

Unfortunately, the consumption of porn not only destroys both, it also kills motivation, confidence, mental health and a man’s biological urge to conquer!

Discipline is the key to all things success - and when you fail to impose the discipline to not jerk o** in a tissue while staring fanatically at your phone screen…

You subconsciously diminish your self worth and confidence, while simultaneously fueling an instant gratification mindset.

You may have previously come across something online suggesting porn was a “bad idea”.

But you’ve never heard it broken down like this.

WARNING: THIS WILL TRIGGER SOME!!!

Chris discusses his past experiences with porn & casual sex, how porn makes you weak and a FAIL SAFE way to RECLAIM YOUR DOMINANCE….

And give up this unhealthy addiction for good!

What Liver King Has Exposed About Society Sep 05, 2022

Over the last 10 months, the Liver King has exploded on social media due to his unorthodox approach to teaching people how to live a better life.

It Has to STOP… Feb 24, 2022

Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. Weak men create hard times.

Where do you think we currently fall in this cycle of human history?

We’re living in a day and age where wearing your problems on your sleeve like a badge of honor is not only accepted, but highly popularized.

Society has gotten weaker. Physically and mentally.

People are getting fatter, sicker and plagued with more mental health issues than ever.

A victim mentality has become the mindset of choice in modern society.

It’s become so prevalent that people don’t even realize they have it, since it’s all they see around them.

If you have a victim mindset, you lose. Every time.

You will also struggle..

And can expect to live a hard, miserable existence absent of purpose, fulfillment and happiness.

If WE don’t stop this epidemic - no one will.

In Episode 76, Chris is in rare form!

He calls out everyone who is complaining but not acting, constantly stating problems absent of solutions and those who turn a blind eye to this behavior.

He’s challenging you to challenge yourself for the betterment of your life, the people in your life and society as a whole!

The Addiction You Need to Kill Apr 29, 2021

We all have goals and dreams...

Something we want to become...

A place we want to reach...

The quickest way to guarantee that none of those things ever happen is to have a victim mindset!

In fact, whether we realize it or not, a victim mindset is fueled exclusively by the excuses of the person who possesses it.

Excuses can sometimes be true statements, may seem harmless and even justified at times...

But excuses destroy our life.

They deplete our confidence, self esteem, self worth and completely cut off any chance for growth in any area of life.

Excuses, blaming, complaining, feeling sorry for yourself and the victim mindset all have one thing in common...

They will never, and have never brought you closer to your goals or dreams.

In episode 70, Chris dives into his own life experiences with the victim mindset. He gets brutally honest about how dangerous it is and shares the steps people can take to permanently free themselves from its destructive nature, so they can reclaim control of their life!

How to BulletProof Your 2021 New Years Resolution Jan 01, 2021

Happy New Year!

We say that today, but will it really be an actual happy new year in the literal sense?

One filled with growth, health, wealth and prosperity?

Or...

Will it be one filled with failure, frustration, hardship and struggle?

Unfortunately, 95% of people who make a New Years Resolution will either fail or quit their resolution by January 15th. A disturbing and shocking reality the research has objectively discovered.

With the horror show that was 2020 now behind us, the importance of creating momentum at the start of the year and having a positive outlet to focus on has perhaps never been more important, if not essential to the quality of our lives!

There are those that bash New Years Resolutions and those who make them - but a more productive mindset would be to view any “excuse” for positive change as an opportunity.

...one that should be celebrated, embraced and fully taken advantage of!

With 2021 upon us, we have an opportunity to start the New Year off by making a Resolution...

...whether it be to get healthier, lose some weight, start waking up earlier to go workout, or just creating better habits that will directly contribute to our personal & professional development.

Habits that will help us move forward, grow and unlock our true potential.

Many opt out of making New Years Resolutions due to past failures and the painful association they’ve now developed with Resolutions and the goal setting process in general.

But the fact is, YOU have a responsibility to not just set, but absolutely crush your goals, every year, year after year for as long as you live.

...and the New Year provides a unique opportunity to make that happen.

But how you set goals matters - and the reason why so many people will fail their resolutions this year and years to come, is because they did not address or identify the single most important element & MANDATORY prerequisite of the goal setting process...

In today’s episode Chris shares with you a short but massively impactful message that identifies the part of the goal setting process people F up that leads to failure and 4 incredibly impactful, practical action steps that will essentially GUARANTEE a successful outcome with your 2021 New Years Resolution!

You don’t want to miss this!

The Pandemic We Should Really Be Worrying About! May 11, 2020

Right now there’s another pandemic going on. It’s hidden in plain sight and this year alone will have a body count at least 300% greater than the Corona Virus.

We have taken great precautions in an attempt keep people safe from COVID-19 , but we have taken hardly any action to keep people safe from themselves

This pandemic has become so common and accepted in our society, that you would never even know it’s there. But it is...

And it’s killing more people every single year!

No More Apr 30, 2020

The majority of the world doesn’t truly take their success seriously but believe they do.

Overall laziness, excuses, complacency, toxic relationships, failure to accept responsibility and the lies we tell ourselves are among the many hazards that can threaten our success and destroy our chances of living up to our full potential.

When things get hard, we must never quit.

When we succeed, we must not become complacent.

When we lose, we must not cower and become timid.

If we want to succeed, we must apply the most amount of pressure at all times to everything we seek to conquer; including the weaker sh*ttier version of ourselves that needs to be destroyed forever.

In this episode, Chris calls us to action!

Be prepared for a fire to be ignited under your ass and within your soul! This episode serves as a “not so gentle” reminder to the world that the process of achieving greatness and living our best lives is NOT something that is done on a part time basis. It is something that needs to consume you and become part of who you are.

What If... Apr 20, 2020

Is it possible that the pandemic in society and all the hardship that’s materialized as a result, isn’t actually what it seems to be?

No, we’re not talking about conspiracy theories or secret political agendas; but what if this “adjustment period” has deliberately been imposed on our world by a higher power in order to teach important, critical, life changing lessons that we will never forget?

What if the universe was fed up with watching our unappreciative, over entitled, unaware, weakened society self destruct and collapse on itself - and decided it was time to intervene?

What if this was all part of a bigger plan that no mortal would be able to intelligently identify or comprehend as it was happening, to force us to evolve, adapt and permanently change for the better?

What if the Corona Virus and all its collateral damage wasn’t actually happening to us, but actually happening for us?

Prepare to have your mind blown as Chris bitch slaps you across the face with a massive dose of perspective that very well may change your view on the current events happening in society!

Don't Fall Victim to the Holiday Mentality Dec 02, 2019

Using the Holiday Season as an excuse to justify complacency is disrespectful to the magic and power this time of year brings.

With December here there's good vibes brought on by gratitude, love, generosity, friends, family, gift giving and holiday parties.

Unfortunately, hidden in plain sight amongst all of these great things also lies complacency, the killer of all things success.

Complacency over the holiday season is tough to identify because we're distracted by holiday festivities and most of those around us are deviating off the path or lowering their own standards as well. But with the holiday season spanning over the course of 2 months, it can be crippling to enter a new year having ended the year with a loss.

The holiday season is not an excuse to stop working on achieving our goals. In fact, to really experience the magic of the holiday season, it should be the opposite; an excuse to step it up!

Stop Letting Yourself Off The Hook Nov 04, 2019

Every year we all set new goals.

While most will state their intentions to accomplish more and do better, very few actually follow through by honoring the commitments they've made with themselves.

For one reason (excuse) or another society has become all to comfortable not keeping their word as it relates to the follow through of one's goals, which has resulted in a wide spreading epidemic of mediocrity, frustration, anxiety and depression.

Self respect begins with honoring the commitments we make with ourselves and following through with what we say we are going to do, regardless of what may stand in our path.

We MUST stop making excuses, stop letting ourselves off the hook when we fall short and stop justifying quitting just because so many people around us do!

We MUST develop the mentality of a wolf and stay clear of the sheep.

Tune in as Chris drills down on the significance of keeping your word, following through with commitments you make to yourself and recognizing when you've fallen off track!

Success Starts With Your Physical Appearance Oct 14, 2019

Like it or not, you are judged every day by how you look, dress and carry yourself.

Everyone who wants to crush it in life needs to put personal feelings aside and understand the relationship between our personal, physical appearance, and how it directly impacts success.

The way we look plays a significant role in our confidence, self esteem and self image, which influences the way we present ourselves to the outside world. It’s also the way we speak to the world about where our priorities lay without uttering a single word.

Here’s the truth, we all make judgments about each other based on our personal appearance, so it is important to think about what kind of image we want to project to the world.

Looking the part of success and maintaining a clean, healthy, neat appearance is one of the first steps towards feeling, and becoming successful. It’s also a very easy thing to do that produces an immediate impact!

Falling in Love With the Process Aug 19, 2019

What separates the people who are consistently achieving their goals, moving forward and getting results from those who don’t, is their commitment to the process, NOT the end result.

While the end result is important, success is NOT some kind of “event” with a finish line, expiration date or ceiling - and it’s not something that can just be achieved or completed one day.
