150. The Art of the Ask with Mark Victor Hansen (creator, Chicken Soup for the Soul) and Crystal Victor Hansen 🧩
“The answer is in the question.” – Albert Einstein
Did you know that a single question could make ALL of your dreams come true? 🤔
Yet, most people are afraid to ask for what they want. They are trapped in a limiting belief that their request will burden others.
Today, we blast that mindset once and for all. And, because it’s Episode 150 of the Win the Day podcast, I’ve brought in the big guns!
Mark Victor Hansen and Crystal Dwyer Hansen are not only great people; they’re also experts at manufacturing opportunities – and making the world a better place for all.
Mark is best known for creating the Chicken Soup for the Soul book series alongside his partner Jack Canfield. Together, they’ve sold 500M+ books in 54 languages. They’ve also licensed more than 100 products under the Chicken Soup banner, worth more than $1 billion.
Crystal is also an expert in human potential, as well as a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist. 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.
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.
