By Chad Shipley

Welcome to the Chad Shipley Show, where I work for you! I live for continuous learning and expansion and have had the greatest mentors in the world. I synthesize the invaluable insights and lessons learned that have had the most profound impact on my life. It may be a book, a blog, a speech or a video. It may be a life changing story. You may laugh and you may cry. The goal is to give you something meaningful. Something to help us grow. The topics range from Flow hacking for increased performance to Charity Water and the countless lives a young girl saved just by caring.

Ed Meyer - Making an Impact - Leaving a Legacy

Ed Meyer - Making an Impact - Leaving a Legacy

My guest today is truly truly special.


His name is Ed Meyer and he is the exact reason I love doing this show. As the founder and CEO of Tri-State Furniture he has found lots success, as most would define it, but that is just one of the many reasons I wanted Ed to come on to the show.


Despite his "success" in business, what really draws me to Ed is how much this guy cares about helping and giving back to people in need.


We touch on business, leadership, poverty, making an impact, leaving a legacy, addiction, depression, anxiety, and much much more!


It was an incredibly spectacular conversation in which Ed, and his brilliant character, shines through and through.


I hope that you enjoy as much as I did!
