Sometimes I get emails from people who have watched some of my weight loss videos on YouTube. Tonight I received one from someone across the pond. I won’t share their message out of respect for their privacy, but this person was clearly frustrated with their lack of progress – even though they had lost a…

Leaving Facebook
The following was originally posted to my Facebook account. Since I’ll be deleting it, I needed a place for it to live. Here it is! Hmmm. Yes. It IS time for a privacy checkup.

How to Automate Your Personal Finances and Get Paid For It!
Here’s another post from “the archives”. I.E. – A couple of good posts I wrote back in 2017 on my old business website. Today, someone asked me a question about why I don’t use mint.com. I may or may not have responded with “Mint.com is for plebs. YNAB is where it’s at!”. Then I remembered…

It’s the font of power that fuels my creative endeavors. And when it’s drained, dry, depleted…so am I. But today, for…
On Speaking Up
If you’re ever afraid to speak up and say something that might be seen as controversial, remember this: It’s really scary to be the first one to speak up. But when you do, you give others the permission to do the same. What starts with one voice can quickly become a chorus. – Me (Seriously,…
Humble Beginnings
Welcome to my blog! I’ve opted for a kind of social media that I own and control. It’s super inconvenient for you because you’re going to have to visit chadhassler.com to see anything I have to say. Now is probably a good time to mention this: DISCLAIMER: These posts are my own and do not…
