Money.

How does that word make you feel? Some people hear it and think opportunity, success, maybe even happiness. Others have a much more complicated reaction. Chris has fielded a lot of questions and comments about money over the years, and the one thing that is consistent with these questions is that there is a surprising amount of negative attitude towards both money, and the people who have made a fair share of it. But, as Chris argues, money is simply “a score card of how much you are able to create value”.

In this episode, Mo Ismail returns to prompt a conversation with Chris about money that’s really about mindset. Chris discusses his work history, and how both needing money, and making money, has effected him in different ways. The two also discuss how your thoughts and ideas, not just about money, but also about success, career, and so much more, are governed by an inner monologue that is ultimately trying to protect you, sometimes to your detriment.
