E103: Interview with David Chudyk
“Salaries aren’t cool—they restrict you and bind you.” – David Chudyk
Today on the Fire In The Belly Podcast, Mighty Pete talks to David Chudyk from Parallel Financial about his career journey—from working a 9-5 corporate job, he was able to take the leap and is now managing his own insurance company.
Since the early 2000s, David has been helping many of his clients improve their financial well-being and also build & maintain their wealth. More importantly, he always emphasizes to everyone the importance of career and money philosophy. One should be able to improve their wealth when they have already built the mindset, determination, and the courage to take risks. You can learn more about some of his tips and his inspiring story when you listen to this episode.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Developing problem-solver skills is a necessity. It’s not just for entrepreneurs and leaders. It is a life skill. If you want to reach the finish line and stomach every blockage that happens, then you must be tough, resilient, and always be a thinker. Foster an environment where every single one of your team members learns how to be independent and resourceful. They can’t be always waiting for the captain to make the call and initiate. To have a high-performing team, you want them to be problem-solvers too. Being not well-off through college served as a motivation for David to work harder. He wasn’t going to bars to drink and have fun—he was using his free time to earn extra cash. He learned early on about responsibility and hustling. After college, he worked for big corporations, taking 9-5 jobs. He was earning more than enough—a very competitive salary—but he figured out it wasn’t what he wanted. There was too much time wasted which he could spend with his family or on other more important things! He knew he can do more and earn more in a lesser time frame. He knew there was so much he could do. David went on and proceeded to do things on his own. He was a keen observer and fast learner so he always understood how the industry works. He took the chance, devised a solid business plan, collated a list of prospects, and helped a lot of people with his expertise.
- At present, his company Chudyk Financial Services and Insurance Group has been offering wealth management assistance to individuals and companies for 15 years.
BEST MOMENTS
- “Why would I try harder to make the same amount of money? Why would I do all the extra things with no additional rewards?”
- “If you’re not going into a career where you don’t need a specific college degree, then you just need any college degree.”
- “There’s a difference between liking your craft and being good at your craft.”
- “Sometimes, when you meet the right people, they just make things happen.”
- “Our career and money philosophy was shaped while we were growing up.”
