249: How Ordinary People Built Extraordinary Wealth – and How You Can Too

With Chris Hogan, author of Everyday Millionaires

Today’s guest is making his second visit to the guest chair, and I’m thrilled to have him back.

Why? Several reasons. Not the least of which is he has a knack for bringing a ton of value to any conversation in record time. And today is no exception.

Chris suggests our culture feeds the lie that it’s impossible to become a millionaire in America today. Chris though destroys that myth. After surveying more than 10,000 millionaires, Chris and his team discovered that many high-net-worth people are everyday people just like you and me.

His brand new book called Everyday Millionaires: How Ordinary People Built Extraordinary Results – and How You Can Too is full of stories of people all over the country, few of whom gained their wealth through an inheritance or a high-paying job.

Chris is a great conversationalist and knows his material extremely well. Click the “play” button below to hear more.

  • …and plenty more!
