The familiar voice our family loves

So my husband and I started listening about 2 years ago and have been hooked since! Our boys ages 10 & 5 also find this podcast interesting.... They’ve already had a couple side hustles including lemonade stands and making bracelets.... I am pretty sure Chris was a big reason behind this. ❤️

would give 10 stars if possible

Chris is amazing, his podcast is amazing, I am using the stories and tips like drinking vitamin water for my entrepreneurial side. Such a great amount of info, love the short format, love all the stories, love the big heart and batty humor, love the way you extract the take home messages for us, love your way of analyzing the listeners' questions, love the way you've developed and added to the structure over the years. This podcast is so well thought-out. Seriously, who needs to listen to folks yammering on for an hour? So easy to digest, I typically listen to several in a row as I drive. As for the ads that some people are complaining about, may I suggest you start listening from the very beginning when there weren't any ads, since the earlier shows from 2017 are still highly relevant and full of great content for newcomers to the podcast. Personally I feel that anyone who puts this much effort, skill, knowledge and heart into helping other peope fulfill their dreams and get more income streams going, deserves a big ol' pot of gold. :-) Thanks Chris. Someday I'll tell you what I'm working on. ;-)
