Today I bring you Chris Duffin. Chris grew up in a world of poverty that most of us will never experience let alone witness. He spent much of his youth traveling with his family to find work, living in the wilderness and even spending a harsh winter living in the back of a pickup truck. When putting himself through college he adopted and raised his three teenage sisters. . Chris went on to graduate from the Oregon Institute of Technology with a degree in engineering then went on to get an MBA. He has a decade of executive level company and division turnaround work. He’s also a world class powerlifter, entrepreneur and body movement specialist. The owner of Elite Performance Center, he’s the only person in the world today squatting and deadlifting over 900 lbs at his body weight. Chris has owned several world records over the course of his career. He’s also the only powerlifting strength coach who is regularly invited to teach PhD level courses on human movement. Chris has powerful messages on how to create lasting success that he’s learned through adversity, powerlifting and wrestling.

About Your Host Jim Harshaw
My name is Jim Harshaw. And I know where you’re at. You’re working hard and qualified for what you do but you aren’t getting what you want. You have plans on getting to the C-suite or launching a business but ultimate success seems as far away today as ever. You’re at the right place because you can get there from here.
And I can help.
Who I Am
I’m a speaker, coach and former Division I All American wrestler that helps motivated former athletes reach their full potential by getting clarity on their what they really want and taking aggressive action to lead their ideal life not just despite their prior failures but because of them.
I’m a husband and father of four. And I’m a serial entrepreneur. I’ve launched multiple successful businesses as well as the obligatory failed one. I’ve been the executive director of a non-profit and have raised millions of dollars. I’ve worked in sales. I’ve even been a Division I head coach. While I was born in a blue-collar home I have spent my life surrounded by Olympians, CEO’s and millionaires.
Jim Rohn said, “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.”
I’ve been lucky.
I’ve learned the habits of successful people and guess what. You’re just like them. I know because I know your type. You’re programmed for hard work, which is a prerequisite for success, but you’ve never been shown how to use what you know to create the life you want with the tools you have.
I will show you how.
Why You are Here
You've worked hard to achieve success. You’ve set goals and maybe even set records. You’ve definitely failed and you’ve at some point found yourself questioning if you were on the right track.
You need to understand this: You are far more prepared to succeed than those who’ve not tried, competed, struggled and overcome like you have. That’s the value of your education as an athlete. You are prepared to be as successful as your wildest dreams will allow.
Here I will teach you, with the help of brilliant minds that have been shaped by failure, struggle and adversity, to be who you want to be. I sense that you want this because you have read this far.
