Fri-Date

I got a text one morning from my good friend Chris Harder saying his dad had tragically and unexpectedly died. None of us can be ready for getting news like that, and afterwards, there were massive shifts that took place in his life. You’re going to hear Chris talk about how tomorrow isn’t promised, how the life we’re living now isn’t a dress rehearsal, and why he’s made the decision to stop doing things he doesn’t want to do. He’s redesigned his super busy life in a way that creates space and meaning, and there’s a lot you can learn from him and his experiences.

In This Conversation We Cover: 

• [06:22] What was going through Chris’ head when he learned of his father’s passing
• [15:24] How Chris is currently navigating through the world now
• [29:47] Avoiding regret
• [32:14] The misconceptions people have around Chris
• [34:28] Guilty pleasures
