How to be Resilient     Take away: Knowing your purpose helps you make decisions, motivates you through hard times, and ensures your business serves you rather than the other way around. It enables you to build a business and life you love.   Money Learnings: Chrissy learned that money was connected to effort, saving, giving, and planning from her family business background and religious schooling. Working for what you want and managing money responsibly were instilled early.   Bio: Chrissy is the author of Reluctantly Resilient and CEO of AUI and Clarity HR which provide insurance benefits and HR services to small and medium sized businesses in both for profit and non-profit sectors.  Chrissy describes herself as the chief cheerleader for both companies setting direction, steering marketing content, and finding creative ways to disrupt two established business sectors.  Chrissy is also the author of AUI Gives Back & Clarity Cares two community impact programs where employees serve in the community, track their impact and share what they are doing on behalf of their customers.    Around Akron Chrissy works to leave her community a better place.  She is a graduate of Leadership Ohio, Torchbearers, Leadership Akron, Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses, Scalerator NEO and Community Leadership Institute.  She has received the 30 for the Future Award from the Greater Akron Chamber and an Achievement on Excellence Award from National Sales and Marketing Executives.    As an advocate for families struggling with addiction and mental health issues, Chrissy serves as the Vice Chair of the Alcohol, Drug Addiction, and Mental Health Services Board of Summit County.  In addition, Chrissy serves on the Board of Directors for the Greater Akron Chamber, Goodwill Industries of Northeast Ohio and Jobs for Ohio Graduates.     Chrissy received her Bachelors in Business Administration from John Carroll University and her MBA from the University of Akron.  When she is not plotting world domination of the insurance industry or volunteering in the community Chrissy can be found at home with Team Awesome Sauce who includes her husband, Steve, and two children, Maddy and Caleb.    Highlights from this episode:   Having clear business and personal purpose statements helps provide direction and alignment. Know exactly why you are in business.   Prepare for disruptions and downturns - they are inevitable. Profitable businesses build cash reserves to weather storms.   Hire people who match your culture. Don't just hire for skills. Culture drives results.   Manage work-life balance. Set boundaries and have open communication with family. The business serves you, not the other way around.   Foster resilience. Take care of your mental health. Showing vulnerability is strength. Survive hard days.   Help employees become more resilient by leading by example, listening, and providing tools for soft skills development.

Ep 386 How to be Resilient with Chrissy Myers

How to Succeed When Everyone Expects You to Fail     Take away: Challenges early on, while difficult, can be the fire that forges your inner strength. If you believe in yourself and your abilities, you can exceed other's low expectations. Never let your humble beginnings limit your ambition. Turn adversity into advantage.   Money Learnings: Jonathan's childhood was challenging financially and he felt deprived compared to his wealthy peers. He didn't receive any substantive money education as a child and had to figure it out himself later through entrepreneurial trial and error. This gave him motivation to build his own success.   Bio:  Serial entrepreneur Jonathan Beskin built his first company, a women’s lifestyle subscription box, from a pre-revenue idea to over $60 million in revenue in under five years. An investor in multiple private companies and startups, he has twice been featured in the prestigious Inc. 5000 list. Beskin is a digital advertising and e-commerce expert; he often speaks at conferences and academic institutions. He holds an MBA in finance from Florida Atlantic University.   Highlights from this episode:   It's vital to keep pivoting in business - be flexible, and keep learning and adapting as things change. Nothing lasts forever.   When starting a business, do as much yourself initially to really understand it before bringing in others. This allows you to better evaluate outside help.   Having a healthy obsession, and always keeping your brain occupied on positive, beneficial activities can lead to an abundant life. Idle time can lead to negativity.   Don't make decisions based on what others think - trust your own judgment. Listen to yourself.   Be willing to put yourself out there and be vulnerable - you never know what opportunities it can create when you open up.   The choice is yours daily - take action or just consume. Turn off the TV and get to work on your dreams.     Links: jonathanbeskin.com   Richer Soul Life Beyond Money. You got rich, now what?

Ep 385 How to Succeed When Everyone Expects You to Fail with Jonathan Beskin

 Creating a Wealthy Life     Take away: Money is a tool that should enable you to live a fulfilling life, not be the sole focus. Having clarity on your ideal lifestyle, relationships, and experiences is crucial. Then determine the amount of money needed to support that vision. Don't get caught in the trap of chasing more money for money's sake. Instead, focus first on personal growth, self-worth, purpose, and making a positive difference. With financial education and mindset shifts, money can be managed effectively to serve your life goals rather than become an all-consuming end in itself. The key is balancing priorities - money matters but should not override health, family, purpose, and inner peace. Use money wisely to live well.   Money Learnings: Krisstina grew up in poverty, living in a trailer home and relying on food stamps and government assistance. Her parents were uneducated and fought constantly about money, often violently. As a child, Krisstina associated money with these traumatic fights and grew to fear it. She felt money was an unsafe topic that would lead to chaos and conflict if brought up. With no financial education or role models, Krisstina was scared of and avoided money matters for much of her early life. This led her to be financially illiterate and anxiously avoidant when it came to money and finance.   Bio: Krisstina Wise has made it her life's work to master money. She's a self-made millionaire with training and study under some of the business world's most sage and seasoned mentors. Her systems for wealth creation work - in both good and challenging times. After nearly losing her life in 2013 and spending almost one-half of a million dollars to recover, her mission is no to inspire others to build extraordinary wealth and optimal health. She is a best-selling author and international speaker. With never-ending enthusiasm for money and a passion for helping people build wealth, Krisstina Wise and her money school will change the way you spend and invest to ensure you build wealth and optimal health.   Highlights from this episode:   Money is something many people struggle with due to lack of education, poor role models, and cultural assumptions. Understanding basic financial principles is key to building wealth.   Have clarity on what you want from life - your ideal lifestyle, relationships, experiences. Then determine how much money you need for that.   Take action - you can study and plan forever but you need to take action and get in the game to achieve results and learn. Adjust as you go.   Running a business requires financial intelligence. Learn how to read your financial statements and make profitability a priority.   Money is a tool that enables you to live the life you want. Focus on self-worth, purpose, and making a difference, not just making more money.     Links: Krisstina@wealthywellthy.life wisemoneymethod.com-quiz Podcast: Wealthy Wellthy   Richer Soul Life Beyond Money.

Ep 384 Creating a Wealthy Life with Krisstina Wise

Unlock Your Impossible Life     Take away: You have the power to renegotiate your existence and make the impossible reality by shifting your mindset and energy frequency.   Money Learnings: Chris grew up in a privileged neighborhood financially but had a difficult childhood due to family trauma and issues with his father. He emphasizes the need to change our relationship with money and offers practical tools for repairing and improving that relationship.   Bio: Chris M. King built a life on the pillars of his childhood: grief, rage, abuse, and addiction. Despite taking nine years to earn his associate’s degree and leaving his undergrad unfinished, he remarkably transformed into an NCAA hockey player within a year of learning to skate. With two failed marriages, one plagued by mental illness, he later forsook a lucrative career to become a poverty-stricken radio personality in Los Angeles.   Transitioning to marketing a hospital’s neuroscience institute without clinical expertise, Chris then shifted to a tech role, which ended in dismissal. Jobless, he spurned a secure future, opting for penniless homelessness as he ambitiously built a company from his car’s trunk—today, that very company prospers.   Unconventional as it may be, Chris’s journey defies norms. His secret? A resolute choice. Termed an “witch doctor,” “human tuning fork,” or “irritated Buddha,” Chris M. King, author of “Renegotiate Your Existence: Unlock Your Impossible Life,” facilitates transformative expeditions. He draws from spiritual psychology and learns from diverse luminaries like the Flow Research Collective, Dr. Andrew Huberman, and retired US Navy SEALs and US Army Special Forces.   Chris takes individuals and organizations beyond their perceived limits, enabling the realization of the seemingly impossible.   Highlights from this episode:   Childhood experiences shape our beliefs and programming as adults. Taking responsibility for your life is the first step in changing your reality.   Your outer experiences reflect your inner state. Pay attention to patterns and what's being mirrored back to you.   Mindset matters. Shift from scarcity/lack to abundance thinking. Match your frequency to what you desire to attract it.   Live in possibility not limitations. Believe you can achieve the impossible then take action. There are no limits except those you impose.   Get clear on your life's purpose. Your gifts and talents are perfectly designed to fulfill it. Mislabeling them causes suffering.   Ready, fire, aim! Speed creates momentum. Take imperfect action, pivot, and refine. Waiting for perfect conditions gets you stuck.     Links:  https://www.statusflow.net/richersoul   Richer Soul Life Beyond Money. You got rich, now what?
