Welcome to Episode 2 of the Bourbon & Breakthroughs Series. Set clear boundaries, show compassion, and live every moment to the fullest! That is the advice that we are urged to follow from today’s remarkable guest, entrepreneur and philanthropist, Chris Harder. Chris has a relentless work schedule and he explains how he is able to remain enthusiastic throughout, before detailing the importance of the mantra ‘people deserve it’ and why we all need a more holistic understanding of time. Our guest walks us through how he celebrates little moments of victory, why we should all lead with gratitude, why Rabbit Hole Distillery is onto something special, and how he went from being a perfectionist to thriving in chaos. We discuss the need for nonjudgmental approaches to life, how to reframe problems into opportunities, how all rewards come with risk, and why Chris chose compassion as his emotional base. We end with a lesson on overcoming negative thoughts and people, how to manage close relationships at work, what makes Chris who he is, why setting boundaries is more of an invitation than a barrier, and a reminder to everyone who is listening to never, ever, settle!
