Published on: 3rd August, 2021

In this week's episode of Dissecting Success Blair + Theresa interviewed Chris Baden, a passionate husband, and dad, as well as an entrepreneur that’s built multiple million-dollar businesses. Tune in as they chat about success, purpose-driven prospecting, sales, relationships, and the importance of how we are showing up at home, in our businesses, and in life. Chris drops some incredible wisdom in this episode and we love his motto that “sales is a life skill”. We totally agree! 

About the Guest:

Chris Baden is typically thinking about building 3 things at any given moment: a life-long marriage, world impacting family and multi-million dollar businesses. The last three businesses Chris has started have done over $1 million each per year in revenue. In the last 10 years of being self-employed and employing others, he attributes Purpose Driven Prospecting as his key skill to solve problems and add value to others. Chris has thrived in B2B sales, B2C sales, and sales in numerous industries. He was recently featured in a new best seller in 9 different categories called 'Million Dollar Dads'. While business is growing, so is his family! Chris is a father of two boys and a new baby girl. Outside of business, Chris and his wife, Beth, competed on the hit TV Show American Ninja Warrior.

Can you put it in a box? how can you get it? can people take it away or are you the one with the power? Does it mean the same to all of us, or are we the ones that create it?
