The Chris Harder Show

In This Episode You Will Learn About: The best thing money can buy The second-best thing money can buy How more money gives access to more freedom Not creating a life that robs you of freedom Resources: Fast Foundations: fastfoundations.com Show Notes: What is the 2nd best thing money could buy? In my opinion, the best thing money can buy is impact, contribution, and generosity. Being able to make a difference in somebody else's lives. But the second-best thing, and a close second at that, is freedom. It's choice. If you are going to work your tail off, make a ton of abundance, do it for the freedom it brings you. My wish for you is that you are able to accumulate the abundance and wealth that leads to you accumulating freedom.

Question Highlights: How did you move past the concerns about making this massive transition? What happened when you moved to LA? How can you collaborate with people when you don't have proximity? How many hours a day do you work right now? What limiting beliefs creep in when you work that kind of schedule? What boundaries, processes, or tools you've created for working an abbreviated workday? What lesson do you see in other countries that you think we should incorporate here? What is the Work Hard Play Hard experience and why do you put it together?

He is the foremost expert on how to get ready for any kind of downturn, because downturns are always guaranteed. It's never "if," it's "when." And it makes more sense to be prepared to thrive in a downturn than it does to struggle. You're going to love Jonathan's story of why he's so passionate about teaching people not just how to make it through, but to take advantage of all the opportunities that present themselves during a recession while other people are going backwards. He talks brilliantly about why marketing is so much more effective during a recession and that you should be doubling down because you will be able to stand out. And you'll love his focus around generosity, and his advice on what you should do around giving during a recession. Question Highlights: -What were you doing when you hit your recession, and how did you get out of it? -Why is a recession a really good opportunity for some people? -How do you put yourself into a liquid position to take advantage of a recession? -What are the four steps for preparing for the next recession? -Should we give more or less during a recession? Guest Bio: Jonathan Slain and Paul Belair founded Recession.com to give entrepreneurs a free tool to assess their recession readiness at Recession.com/Ready. Jonathan Slain spent the Great Recession huddled in the fetal position on the floor of his office. He borrowed $250,000 from his mother-in-law to survive. Jonathan paid his mother-in-law back and is now a highly sought-after consultant (and, yes, he's still married!). Jonathan leverages his experience in investment banking and as an entrepreneur on the keynote speaking circuit because he doesn't want anyone else to have to borrow money from their mother-in-law in the next recession. Paul Belair wasn't scared when the Great Recession hit. He invested $1 million to purchase a business and just five years later sold it for over $70 million dollars. He achieved an American dream exit by using the Recession Gearbox model outlined in this book to create an intentional recession preparation plan. Paul is a CPA and an MBA, and currently serves as chair of the Young Presidents' Organization Construction Industry Network.
