Have you ever met someone as if they were carrying the secrets to life’s mysteries? 

Chris Clear is that “someone” who injects curiosity, excitement, and a refreshing charity of spirit when it comes to all matters in life and business. He’s a proud father of 3 and happily married man who cut his teeth cold-calling in sales, and after many repetitions in various positions, a layoff back in 2011 spawned him later becoming a partner in Atlantic Merchant Services. He’s the owner of many storage facilities, and has one of the largest Facebook Groups for gun enthusiasts, Rimfire Tactical and is the host of the Rimfire Tactical Podcast.

In this episode, Jeff and Chris take a deep dive into reinvention through turning hobbies and passions into passive income. They discuss their shared passion of helping other business owners navigate the challenges faced every single day, with nothing to sell. Pay close attention to the golden nuggets Chris drops as it pertains to a simple way to create passive income with little to no overhead, in an industry that has a huge demand, no matter the state of the economy.

How to Get Involved:

Addicted to Winning connects listeners through stories that prove why mindset matters. Jeff Brekken was working a 60-hour week on his family’s farm by the time he was 10. When he wasn’t helping with the harvest, he was at the hockey rink. Jeff’s early life experiences taught him he needs to be either all-in or all-out. 

In 2000 he started a single-family home construction business and by 2008 he was looking for his next big thing. Jeff founded the Blue Sky Benefit Solutions insurance agency on top of a lifelong passion for helping people. Through this show, Jeff will take that passion one step further.
