Win Make Give with Ben Kinney

What are you building wealth for if you never have time to enjoy it? Chris Larsen joins Bob Stewart and Chad Hyams to share what competitive cycling taught him about discipline, small improvements, and knowing when to change direction. He reflects on losing his best friend, stepping away from his pursuit of professional racing, and turning his attention toward financial independence and a life on his own terms. The conversation moves from training details to protecting your energy, finding a purpose beyond the next dollar, and preparing the next generation to handle what you leave behind. Chris closes with a reminder to practice gratitude and surround yourself with people who believe there is enough to share. ---------- Connect with the hosts: •    Ben Kinney: https://www.BenKinney.com/ •    Bob Stewart: https://www.linkedin.com/in/activebob •    Chad Hyams: https://ChadHyams.com/ •    Book one of our co-hosts for your next event: https://WinMakeGive.com/speakers/   More ways to connect: •    Join our Facebook group at www.facebook.com/groups/winmakegive •     Sign up for our weekly newsletter: https://WinMakeGive.com/sign-up •     Explore the Win Make Give Podcast Network: https://WinMakeGive.com/   Part of the Win Make Give Podcast Network

There is a fine line between stepping up for someone and enabling them to stay dependent. When you keep solving the exact same problem for the same person, your help isn't changing their situation—it's just making you their first call next time. True generosity builds someone's capability, choice, and dignity. Controlling help keeps you at the center while hiding behind good intentions. In this episode of Win Make Give, we tear apart the difference between giving real relief and feeding your own need to be needed. Learn the four critical questions to ask before stepping in, how to handle pattern rescues with employees, friends, and family, and how to give support that actually drives growth instead of resentment. Hit play to audit your help, establish clear boundaries, and ensure your support actually builds the people around you. ---------- Connect with the hosts: •    Ben Kinney: https://www.BenKinney.com/ •    Bob Stewart: https://www.linkedin.com/in/activebob •    Chad Hyams: https://ChadHyams.com/ •    Book one of our co-hosts for your next event: https://WinMakeGive.com/speakers/   More ways to connect: •    Join our Facebook group at www.facebook.com/groups/winmakegive •     Sign up for our weekly newsletter: https://WinMakeGive.com/sign-up •     Explore the Win Make Give Podcast Network: https://WinMakeGive.com/   Part of the Win Make Give Podcast Network
