Thank you. It is true. We have, which makes me according to the Guinness book of records, the world’s best selling author 59 times number one, and I’ve been blessed with 309 bestsellers, the last of which is with my beloved beautiful wife, Crystal. We’ve just written this book called Ask the Bridge from your Dreams to Your Destiny.
I love it. Great title. Crystal. Welcome to the show.
Thank you. Happy to be here with you, Marco.
It’s great to have you. Maybe you could take a minute and tell us a little bit about yourself since our audience knows a little bit about Mark, but we don’t know who you are.
Okay. So yes, I’m a transformational life coach and clinical hypnotherapist, author, speaker, Mark, and I are blessed to travel around the world motivating and inspiring audiences and just helping people become the best version of themselves.
That’s fantastic. Great. Okay. So towards the end, we’ll just get some contact information from you guys and where your websites are located, but I’m excited to jump into today’s topic. And I told you, Mark, that I have a little bit of a funny story to tell you. So, you know, your most recent book Ask the Bridge from Your Dreams to your Destiny. What a great title. I started reading it, a fantastic book. It reminded me of a book I used to have and I can visualize it in my head. And I remember this from back in 1994, 95. And the book on my shelf was called The Aladdin Factor. How to ask for what you want and get it. What I didn’t know until today is that you were the author of that book.
Not only the author, actually the creator, what was happening is it Jack and I, when we went to sell Chicken Soup, nobody wanted it. And I know 144 people ultimately, and we took the rejection, but we brought one of the books I’d written Dare to Win and we had 14 books in the series with Berkeley dare to win all the way to dare. No God. The second of which was Dare to Ask, will they call back when we’re number one and number two for 58, we actually said, one month, you’ve got to have this book. We’ve got a contract. And I went to Jack and he said, what are you going to do about 50 50. They’re going to sue us. Don’t do it. So what do you mean, what am I going to do? Because it was a book about asking. I immediately called up 101, what we call today, master askers, and interviewed them and put it together and ended up selling 3.6 million. And that’s why our book now stands on the shoulders of that because I think we’re good.
But I think as you get older and wiser and deeper and more refined, you get even better. And this book Ask, we’ve only had it out a month. So far as we’re taping audiotaping, gear, podcasting, it is transforming lives. The letters we’re getting are just touching our hearts. People are just going, Oh my gosh, this is what I desperately needed in this time of COVID.
Interesting. I told you, I love this topic because I’ve been teaching my daughter to ask and I keep telling her if, if you ask not you get not. And I don’t know where I first heard that, but I’ve heard iterations of it. And I mean, even the Bible in multiple sections in the Bible talks about asking. One of the phrases in the Bible is you do not have because you do not ask, well-written, you know, so the action of asking is critically important into our lives. So I guess, where do you want to start with this? You know, we grow up being curious as kids, and you said it in your book that it takes the courage of a child to keep asking, why do we lose this powerful skill?
Right, exactly. Marco. So kids are born, we’re all born to ask. We’re all master askers when we come into this world, we want to know who, what, when, where, why we’re endlessly curious. We want to find out about everything, discover everything. And we also want more and more and more. We’re always asking for more right as children. But then over time with, you know, our parents school jobs just rejection in life. That ability to ask even that endless boundless curiosity gets crushed. And pretty soon we become afraid to ask, you know, we stop being curious. We stopped wanting everything good for ourselves. So Mark and I determined that you know, everybody, we meet so many amazing people and they’re all overendowed with talent and ability, but probably we all have more talent than we could use in four lifetimes. But the thing that seems to determine whether you are able to achieve really great success or just kind of fall short of your goals all the time is your ability to ask.
And we both discovered as we did our reflective journeys, that was certainly the case for us, that we’ve, whenever we’ve been in a personal crisis or, or an issue or a problem, we found our way out by asking the next question and listening to those answers. And it’s all about determining what the right questions are. And we found there were three channels through which you need to ask. Not it’s not all just about asking other people for things, right? We discovered that you need to ask yourself, ask others, and ask God. Each of those channels is equally important.
It’s an important action. There’s no question about that. If I was to ask you, why is that so important to a person’s life? What would the simple answer to that question?
Be simple answer is it causes fundamental illumination, revelation, understanding insight exploration. You cannot ask, look into an answer now that can 1974 I went bankrupt lost $2 billion in one day. Cause I was building geodesic domes in New York city. One time on the product. I was building out a plastic when suddenly the Arabs said we could write checks. So bigger banks look at the library. They go bankrupt by yourself. My best worst experience. And for six months, I’m upside down and thinking, Oh my God, my self worth and net worth of the same, which I pure feeling like now I slept in a sleeping bag in front of another guy’s room. And all of a sudden there came to me when I asked myself, what do I want to do?
I want to talk to people who care about things that matter, make a life-changing difference. I have a guy teach me how to speak, but once I was doing it, I did a thousand talks a year for the first three years only Tony Robbins, I think did that. But I was making about 75 grand a year. It never really said that in the book. Do you have it in the book that stories, do you have that in the book? And all of a sudden the lights went on, right? The question got me. I did a book called Stand Up Speak Out and Win. I sold it from the platform to live life insurance officers, I sold 20,000 copies of $10 each. I tripled my income, which is I started doing a talk called triple your income, double your time off. Cause you know, no I’m rich, I’m successful.
And I went out and bought a brand new Chrysler because Ricardo and I believe Lee cook was telling that to already too. So the point is anyone can get where they’ve got to go. And right now while we’re sequestered, but we’re not sequestered as one-off. There’s 8 billion of us that our government imposed sequestrations. And what we’re saying is asking is the way out of this problem, individually, collectively governmentally, Countrywide, and worldwide.
Got it. Yeah. Well put, so I know when you talk about asking you refer to it as, and I quote the only language, the only language which the universe can deliver a solution, understanding illumination or plan to, Right? Can you elaborate on that? What is exactly the essence of what you’re talking about being the only language or is it kind of like that movie, the secret where you just law of attraction, you put it out there and it comes back or is it something different,
Right? No. When you’re stuck, the only thing that’ll get you out of being stuck is to start asking yourself questions. And that’s the first part of what we talked about. Marco is the ask yourself part, that’s the reflective journey and that’s where we all need to start. And we say there are like three sets of questions that kind of go under that category. And the first one is, you know, asking yourself, where am I right now? And the second part of that question is the second question. And then there are a lot of sub-questions that will come under that too. As you start to answer these questions, but you need to spend time with yourself to do it. The second question is where do I want to be? Where am I right now? And where do I want to be? And then the third part of that is what action, what specific actions do I need to take to get there?
And if you can start that asking journey with yourself, it will reveal so much to you because honestly, there is no mechanism in the world that has the ability to reveal what is hidden, like asking. And when you start to ask, it’s like these giant gates open up and you start to see the answers. You start, as Mark said, you start to see solutions. You ask a question, suddenly the solution comes to you. You ask another question. A new idea comes to you. You ask more questions, you start to get illumination. You ask more questions, start to discover a new pathway. And in that way you are able to start to, literally, we say, it’s the bridge from your dreams to your destiny because we all have these dreams locked in our hearts, but often we forget how to access them. We kind of shut down on ourselves, asking is the simplest tool to be able to unlock those dreams and get moving again. It’s something everyone can do.
How do you know if you’re asking a question that is quote-unquote too small, or maybe it’s not big enough and you need to ask a bigger question? Is that a fair question to ask you?
Totally. First of all, I want to hit you. I call it. My wife said if you asked her one question, like I said, Oh my God, what if I go bankrupt? So I ended up going bankrupt. So if you asked the wrong question, you go the wrong way. If you ask the right question, if you’re thinking right talk, right? Asking like you get the right result lady right now. But the point, and then subset of that, which we wrote in to ask you is the size of your question determines the size of your result. Like if you were in my seminar back in 2003, I think you said you said I want more money. And that’s what you said. I’d give you a quarter. And I said, well, you’re up a quarter, a quarter then no, it was pretty irrelevant to say, well, I want a hundred thousand.
We can figure out how to do that. That’s 250 workdays, or you’re giving all holidays off at $400 to a hundred thousand. I say, well, are you making a million? We had one zero to $4,000 a day. Now, if you want to go higher, we can go higher. If your point is that the universe doesn’t care, Napoleon Hill had the best poem is I’m sure you read think grow rich “I bargained with life for a penny. I’d like to pay no more, no matter how I begged at evening, when I counted my scanty store for life is adjust a fair employer should pay whatever you ask. But once you set the wages while you must bear the task.” When I was earning a hundred grand a year back in 1974, 75 I met the world’s top salesman at the time, Ben Feldman. He was on the cover of Forbes magazine and everything. And Ben said, look, you love your kids. I said, yeah. He said, well, if you had earned 4,000 and a day and your kid would die, will you figure out how to do it? He said I said, yeah, I said, then start doing it, but just do $250. And it turned my life. He went from six figures, seven figures.
And because it was a real estate and we all love roasted and a couple of places, we believe that’s the same thing is true. Now we’re going go wherever the biggest crisis, we’re going to have the biggest opportunity.
Well, I think we’re talking about two slightly different things. Cause we can talk about the size of the question, which is what I was asking you. If you’re asking questions that are too small and how do you know if you’re asking questions that are too small and should you be asking bigger questions? To me, it’s like having a small goal versus a big goal. And I believe he should have a very big goal because the bigger the goal, hopefully, the more motivation you have behind it. But then the quality of the question is another thing, you know, the whole thing about, if you want a better answer, ask a better question. And here’s another funny story. I actually saw this in your book, less than two months ago, I was actually watching a Peter Sellers movie, the Pink Panther. And you know, he asks the guy at the hotel, does your dog bite? And the guy says no. And so Peter Sellers reaches down to pets, the dog and the dog bites his hand. And he said, I thought you said your dog doesn’t bite. He goes, it doesn’t. That is not my dog. You know, that’s great. That’s just a classic line. But the thing is, is that just shows how, you know, asking a better question could lead to a better answer. So the size of the question is clearly important, but how do you ask better questions? Maybe that’s what I should ask you now?
There’s a section in the book, Marco it’s called prepare to be a good asker. And so there is a process to that and we say the first three things are belief. Okay. So you have to start with belief and people say sometimes, well, how do I get belief if I don’t have belief? And all I can tell you is, you know, you have to suspend your disbelief. You have to be willing to believe, believe that there is an answer for you, and believe that you deserve an answer. Okay? So a lot of it is a mindset. You have to start with the right mindset, right? You have to be committed to your own journey and be able to take that time with yourself. Mark and I spend the first hour of every day in this prayer and meditation time so that we can do this reflective journey.
It takes time. It takes, you know, this time with yourself to reflect, to plan, to determine what it is you really want in life. So the first thing is belief. The second thing is action. Okay. So you have to put your asking journey in action. When these little breakthroughs start to come to you, when the little clues of, of life start feeding back to you, because you know, you’re an attractor field for what you’re getting, what you’re asking for. So when you start to get those things, are you willing to take some kind of action? When something comes to you, will you call that person? Or will you act on it in some way? You can’t just sit on the sofa and wrap your blanket around yourself and say, you know, I’ve been asking for something, you know, it’s going to come to me.
The third part is visualization. And I think this really gets down to what you were talking about. Your imagination is so important in your life creation because so often people, you know, live their, like, you know, it’s happening outside of them, truly like what we have going on right now. You look out there and you see all this stuff coming at you and it’s intense and you’re kind of ducking and dodging and trying to keep all the balls up in the air. When the reality is your life experience is created from the inside out. And that involves learning to use visualization, learning to use the power of your own imagination. So it’s like starting with things like, okay, whatever it is you want, because this is such, you know, it’s such a subjective experience. Well, I don’t know what you want, or I don’t know what anybody else wants.
So we need to start with that question to ourselves. What do I really want? Right? And when you do that, imagine that you already have what you want because when people imagine, you know, start, they want riches or they want to be wealthy. If you start to ask them, okay, a great question is what are you doing right now? Pretend you already are as successful as you want to be. Pretend you have all the wealth you want in the world. Pretend life is exactly as you want it. What are you here are the questions. What are you doing every day? How are you spending your time under that scenario? Who are you talking to under that scenario? What things are truly important to you? What things are you doing differently than under that scenario than you’re doing now? And you start to reveal a lot of truth to yourself, but this is a very personal introspective journey that you have to take. There are no shortcuts to it. You really need to get in and ask yourself those questions and be willing to engage your imagination, being willing to go to that place where you imagine having everything you really want in life.
Yeah. I think that underscores an important point too, is asking, is not just about asking other people questions. It’s about asking yourself questions because you have conversations with yourself all the time and you need to explore your inner self. And so that leads to a belief, hopefully, a good belief in yourself and eliminates doubt and fear and all those other things that get in your way. Right?
Right. And that’s why we said there are three channels through which to ask, not one, it’s ask yourself, ask others and ask God. Those three channels are equally important. All of them are very important in their own way that, but that first step is really asking yourself because then you know what direction you want to go? You need to know where you are, where you’re going, and what kind of action do you need to take to get there. And so and then asking others is a super important part to you. That’s like a phase two-part because we are really one another’s greatest resource if we allow that to happen. And unfortunately, Mark and I talk in the book about the seven roadblocks to asking, because most people have these roadblocks, at least one or more of these roadblocks that keep them from asking, asking others, keep them from engaging with others because they’re scared or they’re doubtful or all these other roadblocks that we discuss in depth.
Yeah. You’ve got seven of them. Well, I guess the most important thing here is that asking is pretty much the most important skill in life if you want to be successful. And it really depends on how you define success, but it doesn’t matter because asking will help get you there. Just the act of asking applies to every part of your life. You know, whether it’s your sales or your career or your relationships to do with your wife investing as it relates to me and my audience. So we don’t need to get into all seven roadblocks. Maybe just talk about one of them. The one that pops into my mind is the one about fear because I think a lot of people don’t take action and invest, or, you know, grow business or better themselves in their career or with their family or with their wife because of fear. Something’s holding them back. Can you maybe touch upon that?
Sure. I mean, the fear is just, you know, I really think for human beings, some people just have a terror of rejection. They’re really terrified of rejection. And so they, they will not ask because they can’t stand the idea that someone might say no and be rejected. And that comes down to, I think our need to be loved. And somehow we are personalizing that rejection. So as a good asker, we need to understand it’s not about us. Like if someone rejects you, it’s not, it’s not really about you. It’s about their state of mind at the time. Maybe they just aren’t able to help you or can’t, or just don’t feel like they want to. Then it’s really not about you. It’s about them. And so if you can sort of manage all of these roadblocks to asking you create such an advantage for yourself in this life because the studies we did or the research we did on the studies that have been done on asking show that if you are willing to ask people, they are 80% more likely to help you. Then if you didn’t ask for no reason not to ask. But so many of us hold back because of that fear of rejection and that we have some amazing stories in the book. And I don’t know that we have time to get into any of those but fabulous stories that are great examples of why you need to ask and what happens when you don’t ask and what happens magically when you do ask.
Does that tie into the whole thing about pivoting your destiny? Cause I know a part of the book is about pivoting your destiny and you do that by asking you actually put the question out there to ask yourself, what is it that you’re best at? Can we talk about that for a minute? Cause I think that’s important for a lot of people. A lot of people, I think they’re in a writer they’re kind of stuck and they feel like they can get to another level or they just need to make a complete change. And they’re not asking questions or they’re maybe not asking the right questions.
And what happens is we all have to pivot. We gotta reinvent ourselves. We gotta, we gotta probably go in a new direction. I mean, just take the airlines. Two-thirds of their management, two-thirds of their pilots, two-thirds of their flight attendants. This isn’t going to change. And I’m saying that a third of Americans are unemployed from what they formally did. Is there a lot of work? The answer is there’s more work. We have just one company we’re just talking to PCI, turning trash caps. They got 22 million jobs that need to get filled right now. And yeah, you’ve got to switch, but let’s just do one of the stories we have in our book, we interviewed 26 what we call master Aspers Jim Stovall is a guy who wrote a phenomenal book that I got to write the forward to an endorsement to a recommended totally it’s called, you know, Oh gosh, it just, it made it into a movie, but it’s called the Ultimate Gift. And it just is so amazing. But at 19 years old he is strong and he’s big, he’s fast. His whole life is to become an NFL player. He gets recruited, the medical doctor comes back and he’s shaking his head. And he said, sorry, kid is the worst news I’ve ever had to give everyone anyone, especially you six months from now, you’re going to be totally and forever blind.
And now Joe, our little buddy, Jim stole his locked self, incarcerated a nine by 12 room with a television, a telephone and a radio. And he’s complaining no surprise there. And his parents that look Jimmy just could out of the blind kills me. Maybe they can help you. Well, it’s an echo chamber of negativity. Quick aside, everyone’s got to turn off the negative news right now. 15 minutes a day is all. You should allow yourself to be polluted by as far as I’m concerned, but Jim sits next to this woman. Who’s not complaining and she’s blind and she’s a blind legal stenographer and said, Hey, let’s talk this through. What is it that you liked? I said, well, I love movies. And he said, that’s great. What did you love? He said, I love watching somebody throw a right hook. This is the leverage for all of us said, well, what I want to do is to see that again and now I’ll never see it again.
Wait a second. We’re somebody, why can’t we do something? So she asked him, were somebody, why can’t we do something? And what they created as a sighted person, you may not know, but narrative TV, 14 million people watched streaming every day at $10 a month. That’d be great. But because I was asked to write the foreword to his book, this ultimate gift, I did it on the back. I wrote this book is so clear. So visuals should be a movie. And it became a movie, made him a hundred million dollars. So we interviewed our book asked and when he said it was, if I live a hundred years, I will thank you in my prayers every day. Because now I write books that I can’t read and I make movies that I can’t watch. And everybody has to read pivot. First part of this question, just to tie it up to where you started
Does part of that have to do with how a person defines their own happiness? Because I think everybody’s definition of happiness is, is completely different, but don’t, we need to consider what our definition of happiness is in order for us to, I don’t know, kind of move forward.
Absolutely. And we have a great story about that in the book, Greg Hank talks about how he’d achieved, like all of this wealth and success and you know, 10 motorcycles and all the hot cars and the great life. And he said I found myself being terribly unhappy. So he, you know, had breakfast with his mentor who was his father’s best friend. And you said, what’s the secret here? Why am I so miserable? I, when I’d arrived, I’d feel so great. And he said, well, you know, what is your definition of happiness, Greg? And he goes, you know, I really don’t have one. I’ve never asked myself that question. So that happens to a lot of us. We plow forward in life, doing the things we think we’re supposed to do, or just getting, you know, sort of on the hamster wheel. What, it’s one of the roadblocks, I call it pattern paralysis.
But yeah, until we stop and say, you know, what is my definition of happiness? So Greg defined it with his friend that day is having a passionate purpose. It makes a difference. You know, that being able to make a difference in other people’s lives. It’s very different for each one of us. So we need to stop getting stuck in our patterns and get over that roadblock and start asking ourselves these important questions that will lead us to the next revelation in our lives. And just like Greg, and just like our friend Jim Stovall. I mean, one question, if you answer it, honestly can pivot you if you’re open to it. And you’re curious, you’d stay endlessly curious and you stay open to the answers, you know, where might that lead you? I mean, it’s changed lives. It’s changed direction for so many people and created, you know, tremendous amounts of success and happiness, if we’re willing to do that.
Agreed. Yeah, I agree. So guys, as we land this plan, I’m going to ask you one question. That’s a little bit more geared towards me and my audience and just ties the whole thing about asking right in. So for someone like myself as an entrepreneur, a serial entrepreneur and someone who likes to invest mostly in real estate, but in certainly virtually everything else, you know, what questions should I be asking myself? Or what questions should my audience be asking themselves based on what you’ve written in the book?
Well, first of all, what is the end that you want? And in your cases, real estate, just like ours is how much money do you want to have? How many properties do you want to have? You want to have commercial or residential. You want to have income-generating properties. How much risk are you willing to take? Because ultimately you want to be debt-free, stress-free, and set free. What is the cash flow that you want, whether it’s 1000, 10,000, 30,000, a hundred thousand or a million a month? And then as you start to answer those questions, you get bigger, stronger, and better. And then you say, well, that’s number one. You’re asking yourself. Then number two is who is it? That’s done what I’ve done. And we’ve got a lot of friends in real estate. As you know, guys like can make out boy, he wants 10,000 units.
And just turn this company into a billion-dollar company that you’ve interviewed, but he started with one just like everybody. And you’ve got to start there and then you get that going. And then number three, is it now that I’ve got it? God, what is it that I can do to contribute at a really high level? And in our case, we are co-chairmen of an organization. You may or may not know childhelp.org and we’ve helped 10 and a half million people in 60 years, children, children get out of abuse, neglect, and sex trafficking. And now they want to build the biggest enterprise. And we’re, co-chair people of it because you get rich so you can contribute more, not. So you can go lay on a beach and sit my, you know, I owned a great house in Kona Bay estates next to Bill Gates. So it’s not a question of, have I been there and done that?
The question is two seeds. Number one is what is it I am going to be able to create? There’s a spiritual right in Genesis says in the beginning, God created number 28 years created an image like this. And number two, what are you going to contribute? And now you’re making the money with a reason to attribute it. And yes, you’re contributing land or let’s say single families or multi or duplexes fourplexes. So people can rent in them and live in and which we own in light. But the point is, let’s go to the next higher level. Can you help somebody that can’t help themselves? And there’s all kinds of stuff in real estate. The biggest guy in America buys a house and let’s say it was a thousand dollars a month rent. He charges 1200. And then after five years, they use that 200 extra to buy back that house that they’ve been overcharged and leasing and stuff like that.
And then we’ll close friends with Dr. Ben Carson and Ben is head of HUD. Now he’s running for president, but Ben says, I’m getting people out of public housing, not into it. And the way we’re doing that is housing and urban development. He says, we’re developing their awareness so cautious and nobody could be better if you don’t know dr. Carson’s story, you know, watch his movie called Gifted Hands. He is just amazing human being.
That’s great. You know, I just connect the two dots. I just realized that everything you were talking about sounded like goal setting. But then I realized the whole process of asking questions of yourself is really the part that comes right before the goal-setting piece. Because unless you ask yourself all these questions and you get clear on what it is you want, where you want to go, you can’t actually write goals. Correct. They’re connected. They’re married at the hip. Yeah. They’re married. Exactly. Unbelievable. Okay. Well, I don’t know why I didn’t realize that before, but I guess it was just kind of a natural process and the whole goal thing.
Questions are the answers that Rumi said it so well, he said, look for the answer inside the question. And that just is so perfect. That’s what you just discovered. Right? And we say in the book asking is the answer. And we need to remember that, you know, when you’re stuck, when you’re trying to figure things out, when you can’t, don’t have all the start asking the questions, ask yourself as others and ask God. And it’s amazing how your journey will unfold so much more clarity.
And we’re all here for self-discovery. And what we’re saying is, look, if you’ve got a 24 story house and that’s consciousness and awareness, everybody’s at some floor, but the goal is to get to the top. And the top is self-realization, attachment to whatever. However, you want to define it, self-actualization. But the point is you get there by asking and ascending.
Very powerful, very powerful. Well, crystal Mark, stay with me after we wrap up here, but tell our listeners how they can find you guys online or wherever you want to direct them to. And of course, where they can find your books.
Yeah. So you can find us all over social media on Crystal Dwyer Hansen’s Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn. And of course, Mark Victor Hansen. We love to stay in touch with everybody. So please reach out to us. We love connecting with people. Hearing about your journey. Connection is really important to us. You can get the book at Amazon, of course, ask the bridge from your dreams to your destiny. And we’re doing something kind of unique where we’re going to be holding. Starting in August. The book club asks the book clubs. So once you buy the book, go to askthebookclub.com, it’s free. We’re going to have just a private room where people can come in. And once you’ve had an opportunity to read the book, we can discuss it together. Cause we really want to help people on their asking journey. We feel like this is our way to contribute, to keep people moving. And that’s important right now. We need everybody to be their best as we come back as a country. And you know, just in the world in general. Cause you know, people, we’ve all been a little downtrodden and, and depressed and, and we want to be able to help lift people out of.
So you can also go to MarkVictorHansen.com. And the other thing we’re going to ask when you go to Amazon, don’t buy just one book. If you’ve got the wherewithal, we want you to think about who do you know, that’s depressed, despondent. Disconsolate maybe even suicidal. And if they start asking questions, we can turn them around. I mean, I can tell you because you know how many podcasts we’ve done, we’ve done at least 20 with great psychiatrists that are dealing with more suicidal patients than ever before. And they said, my gosh, we’re going to get this to every one of our patients. And they’re literally buying 10 and sometimes a hundred at a time. You give them out their patients. Cause when the patients have that self-revelation, that self-questioning, they go to a new level. So I’d ask you to do that and consider being generous and giving the book away and helping somebody that probably wouldn’t even think or know that we existed.
Mark. That’s a great ask. I’ve never had a guest after almost 200 episodes actually asked that. That’s great. I love it.
Well, one of the chapters is how to be a bold asker, because we want everyone to grow up to be master askers because if we all asked, we can make the world work for a hundred percent of humanity. And when you go to MarkVictorHansen.com, watch some of the videos. Cause I want everyone to learn, to write a book, to discover their wisdom, define themselves better, and refine themselves at a higher, smarter level because everyone’s got a book in them. At least the people, the wise people you’ve got listening now.
That’s great. Well, listen, I really, really appreciate you guys coming on. Hang tight. We’re just going to wrap things up here.
