Real Chalk Podcast

At the moment, quarantine is weighing heavy on many of us and the urge to maybe shift into something you really want to do is digging at you more than ever. I truly believe that some of the things that we talk about in this short 1 hour window will strike a chord with you and give you just a little motivation to go and do what you really love. Chase speaks about how he got into podcasting, I shed light on some of my life's biggest turning points, and then the conversation takes a natural direction into what it means to really be fulfilled in life and your career. Because in the end, our time is the only thing we can not get back. How do you want to spend yours?

My story of couch surfing to a 7 figure business. I know this is a repeat episode (From my older podcast platform. It's new if you haven't been following me for a while), but I felt like it needed to be re-aired considering the time we are currently living in (I also added a damn good intro to kick it off).

We all need inspiring stories to keep us motivated and remind us of what is possible (Especially during times like this). Sometimes we settle with mediocre and forget what our original goals were. We forget what we were put on this earth to do. We get scared. We fail. We make excuses. We put ourselves in a place with limits. But what if... What if our soul has another plan the whole time? What if we don’t know what it is, but it keeps us awake at night? It reminds us that what we are doing is either right or wrong. It consumes our every movement, breathe, thought, and action. It is a gut feeling that never steers you in the wrong direction. It is... Everything you were meant to be and more. You just have to trust it.

This is my story. It always gets me emotional, so I’m sorry for the sad parts, but it’s enough to light you up for the week and it’s real shit that we can all accomplish. 

Enjoy! I love you all.

Chris Hunter is one of the guys responsible for Four Loko, the formerly caffeinated alcoholic drink that was blamed for causing a few deaths in which the government then cracked down on, hard.

Four Loko is still on the market today -- and apparently selling well -- but Hunter, who was 25 when the brand was created, has since moved on to other businesses. His current pursuit is leading Koia, a plant-based protein beverage company. Quite the career pivot, right?

The beverage brand launched nationally in Whole Foods in 2016 and has since expanded to the shelves of more than 4,000 U.S. stores. It expects to have $25 million in sales for this year. 

This podcast outlines all the steps it took him to get there.
