## Resource

Chris Sain built a million-subscriber community and retired at 37, starting with just $250 a month. No inheritance. No silver spoon. Just consistency, faith, and a refusal to run in the victim Olympics. In this episode, Stephen and Chris go beyond the tactics and into the real conversation behind wealth, the mindset traps, the biblical principles, the emotional discipline required, and why being generous can sometimes do more harm than good. What you'll take away: - Why 80% of pro athletes go broke 3–5 years after their playing career ends - How to start building real wealth with whatever you have right now - The asset classes Chris is investing in for the next 5 years (AI, quantum computing & more) - The dangerous downside of generosity nobody talks about - Why stewardship always has to come before abundance Find Chris: chrissain.com | @chris_sain Find Stephen: stephenscoggins.com | @stephen_scoggins
