Treating Life as a Choice | #4

On today’s episode of “Harder to Breathe'', host and founding drummer of “Maroon 5” Ryan Dusick is joined by co-host and actor Brian “Duck” Maillard for an in-person conversation with Ryan’s longtime friend, Podcast Host, Author, Speaker, and Financial Guide, Chris Panagiotu.

 

Chris is an all-or-nothing guy, and he wears that designation proudly. He carries that passion and energy in every aspect of his life, whether in his relationships or in his business… and it’s absolutely contagious.

 

There is much more to Chris than just his energy and enthusiasm, however. Throughout their conversation, Ryan and Duck are able to get Chris to open up about his Rocky Relationship with his Dad, as well as his struggles growing up with Crohn's Disease. Despite the difficulties of his past, Chris will be the first to tell you that the lessons he’s learned have shaped him into who he is today.

 

It’s another really fun, yet deep and thought provoking conversation on the “Harder to Breathe” Podcast. Breaking into vulnerable topics with successful people in the realm of sales can sometimes prove challenging, but Chris is a fantastic example that it IS possible to be a great business person AND be truthful, passionate, honest, and forthcoming as well.
