Dont Shoot The Messenger

Dont Shoot The Messenger

Hi, I'm Chris Ball, and welcome to my podcast, "Don't Shoot the Messenger." My no-nonsense approach to building wealth and scaling businesses comes from real experience, not theory. I’ve built an international financial planning company with $3.3bn assets under management. I have coached top performers and seen what works (and what doesn’t) up close. This podcast is for the ones who are done with fluff: The high earners who still feel broke The entrepreneurs are burning out trying to chase growth The ambitious professionals who are starting to question the game they’re playing And anyone who’s beginning to realise that more isn’t always better I’m not here to coddle. I’m here to be honest. You might not like everything I have to say, but I’m not here to be liked. I’m here to help you get clear, get focused, and get real results. All I ask is: Don’t Shoot the Messenger. This is a Financial Planner Life Production 🎬
