230. Face Your Dragons with Rich Christiansen (WSJ bestselling author, creator of the Legado Family Framework, founder of 16 multimillion-dollar businesses) 🐲
"Acceptance of what has happened is the first step to overcoming the consequences of any misfortune." – William James
Rich Christiansen has spent decades guiding people through life’s toughest challenges, helping them face their dragons, make peace with them, and emerge stronger than ever.
A globally recognized educator, entrepreneur, and mentor, Rich has built 51 businesses — 16 of which became multimillion-dollar successes — all launched with just $10,000 or less.
He’s also the author of the Wall Street Journal bestseller The ZigZag Principle, and his new book, BlindSighted, has just been released.
Beyond business, Rich has dedicated himself to something even greater: securing the future of families through the Legado Family Framework, a model designed to strengthen relationships and create lasting legacies.
In this episode:
• How to face and overcome your personal dragons.
• Building resilience and success through family values.
• The secrets to starting a business with minimal capital.
• How to align your values across life, family, and career.
