We’re celebrating a milestone today – episode 150 of the Win the Day podcast! Thank you for your continued support. Keep sharing and we’ll continue to raise the bar with the quality of episodes you get to enjoy.
Given that we’re celebrating a milestone, I’ve brought in the big guns. Joining me in the studio are personal development icons, Mark Victor Hansen and Crystal Dwyer Hansen. This is also the first time ever we’ve had two guests on the show at any one time, and I couldn’t think of a better combo.
Mark is best known for creating the Chicken Soup for the Soul book series alongside his partner Jack Canfield. Together, they’ve sold more than 500 million books in 54 languages. They also licensed more than 100 products under the Chicken Soup banner, worth more than $1 billion.
Mark has received countless awards for his humanitarian work and his contributions to the field of personal growth and entrepreneurship. And, fun fact, he’s in the Guinness Book of World Records for having the most books on The New York Times Best Seller list at one time.
His wife Crystal is also an expert in human potential. Crystal’s research in the fields of neuroscience, epigenetics, and quantum physics provides the scientific knowledge she uses to help people move themselves out of misery and into a fulfilled and happy life. She is also a Member of the International Coaching Federation, a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, and the founder of Crystal Vision Life.
In 2020 Mark and Crystal co-authored the book Ask!: The Bridge from Your Dreams to Your Destiny. And, if you know one thing about me, it’s how much I believe that the right question can get you anything you want in life.
Together, they also work on numerous other projects in the fields of publishing, natural energy, and conservation, and enjoy traveling the world where they help inspire others to a bigger life and legacy.
