Why More Money Often Equals Less Happiness w/ Brad Chandler
09/19/24 • 47 min
Financial success will lead to a fulfilling life. This a trap many people, including entrepreneurs, fall into. But the reality is often the opposite.
Many work tirelessly, achieving impressive financial milestones only to discover that they have little time to enjoy the fruits of their labor.The relentless pursuit of making more money leaves people drained and disconnected from family and the joys of life.
It’s a harsh truth: money has a diminishing return. The more you make, the less it truly matters in terms of happiness and fulfillment.
How do we stop the pursuit of money from ruining our happiness? Why does making more money not equate to more happiness?
In this episode, I’m joined by Brad Chandler, the founder of LimitlessYou, to explore the true meaning of happiness and why it can't be bought with money. We also delve into the concept of self-love, discussing what it truly means and the implications of its absence for future generations.
Things You’ll Learn In This Episode
-Time is a precious resource
Money can be utilized to outsource tasks and responsibilities, allowing individuals to reclaim valuable time for things that matter most to them. In what ways can we strategically invest our money to maximize our time and improve our quality of life?
-The feeling of not being enough
Everyone experiences the imposter syndrome of not being enough but what does it lead to? How can we combat it?
-How to unlearn fear
We are born with only two innate fears: the fear of loud noises and the fear of falling. All other fears are learned. And if they can be learned, then they can also be unlearned. How do we unlearn the fears we've accumulated over the years?
Guest Bio
Brad Chandler understands the profound impact of unresolved childhood and family stress on one's life. His journey to help his son overcome extreme anxiety revealed a hidden truth: he too was burdened by deep-seated childhood programming that had silently dictated his actions and beliefs.
These unaddressed wounds led Brad's subconscious to embrace a series of painful untruths, primarily the belief that he was unworthy. This mindset resulted in a lack of self-love and self-compassion, ultimately taking a heavy toll on his life.
He faced two failed marriages, $9 million in business missteps, behavioral issues with his children, and turned to alcohol and marijuana as coping mechanisms.
However, through a profound transformative process that involved gaining awareness, utilizing their proprietary Joy Generator tool, and engaging in neural reprogramming, Brad has turned his life around. Today, he embraces a life filled with joy and purpose, dedicated to helping others navigate their own paths to healing and fulfillment.

5 Reasons Why Banks Are Tightening Lending—And How to Prepare
If you've been getting pushback on deals, or they’ve even been falling through, you're not alone. We’re seeing it firsthand: banks are tightening their lending practices, and it’s becoming harder to secure the financing needed to keep business moving.
The ripple effect of banks not lending could be massive. For businesses that rely on funding to grow, close deals, or stay afloat, this is a major concern. Without access to capital, your ability to invest, expand, or even maintain your current operations could be severely impacted.
Are you prepared to face a tighter lending market? How would it affect the ability to grow or secure new opportunities? What will business look like if access to traditional lending dries up even further?
In this episode, I talk about the 5 reasons why banks are freezing up and not lending, what happened previously to get to this point and how to prepare for what’s to come.

Escaping the Financial Rat Race: How to Make Your Money Work for You w/Carson Herlean
Most people get caught up in a traditional system that promises a steady paycheck but never leads to financial freedom. They chase the illusion of being "rich" without understanding the difference between that and real, lasting wealth.
Many young people fall into this trap, only to realize years later that their money isn't working for them. They don't see that true wealth is built on a mindset shift—a willingness to pursue something bigger than just the income game.
What is holding people back from making the decision to make their money work for them? What if you could take control of your financial destiny before you’re locked into a system that’s not designed to make you wealthy?
IBC practitioner and real estate investor, Carson Herlean joins me to talk about why young people need to learn about true wealth before it's too late, how to grab every opportunity while we can and his journey to becoming his own bank.
Being young, our brain is not going down a traditional path like everyone else. -Carson Herlean

-Going against the grain
Overcoming doubt and negativity when going against the grain requires self-belief, persistence. How can you maintain confidence and push forward while pursuing unconventional paths?
-Saving isn’t sufficient
Saving only 5-10% of income is insufficient in today's climate of rising inflation and economic uncertainty, as it doesn't provide enough cushion for future financial stability. What else can we do to secure a financially stable future?
-Trading in time for a dollar
Time is more valuable than money because once it's spent, it can never be regained. How do we prioritize our time over financial gain in our daily life?
