Interview Series

2. Chris Stoikos is a serial
entrepreneur and chief executive
officer of Dollar Beard Club.
He is the archetypal "mover and shaker" with a number
of entrepreneurial credits to his name. His true genius
lies in the ability to creatively market and commercialize
products, and in building and maintaining teams of ex-
perts to run businesses independently. Despite his
youth, Chris brings a practical knowledge of business in
tandem with a firm grasp of market psychology for a
younger and "hipper" consumer base.

3. The world’s greatest presenters and where they stand,
on and off the stage.
(noun) /stans/
the attitude of a person or organization toward something; a
standpoint.

4. Question:
You're widely known for your
energy and charisma, what
drives that energy day in
and day out?

5. Staying in flow keeps my energy moving in a
cyclical fashion - I source it by building it from
within. Breathwork and meditation are key.
Expending that energy is equally as important to
make room for the new. I keep creative avenues
open so I have a way to channel that energy by
journaling, scripting video ideas, creating new
content, body movement, and any other form of
creation that wants to come through.
Answer:
Momentum.
Beating resistance on a daily basis,
and making the commitment to myself
to show up day in and day out.

6. Question:
How do you make your
Mondays more like your
Fridays?

7. Ditch the watch. Stop chaining yourself to
time. I consciously practice staying in the
moment and enjoying the blissful present
which is the now, and I truthfully never know
what day of the week it is. The time is always
now, and Monday's are just as fun as Friday's
when you realize "Monday" and "Friday" are
simply man-made titles.
Answer:
When you realize life is a dream and
time is made up, you can make any
day of the week feel just as you
want it.

8. Question:
When you walk into a
room, how do you make
yourself stand out?

9. Answer:
by doing the
exact opposite.
I've learned to humble myself in all
situations, regardless of what room I'm
walking into, for that is the ultimate
source of power. I've also released all
thoughts about what others think of me -
I fully own who I am and I think people
pick up on that, because it feels good to
fully embrace every part of my being and
be a loose cat. We're all pretty loose deep
down. We should honor that.

10. Question:
What's one habit you
think everyone should
make?

11. The only limit here is
belief, and if you believe
something hard
enough, it can be yours.
Write down what you want to create in your
life, and visualize what it will look and feel
like when these things come into your
physical reality. We all deserve abundance,
because we are made up of it - energy.
Abundance is no more than an energetic
exchange.
Answer:

12. Question:
What's one change you
made in your life that
made a world of
difference?

13. Answer:
I took responsibility for my
own life, and realized that I
am in full control 100% of
the time.
I stopped playing the victim role in any areas
of my past, I remembered the fact that I am the
creator of all things in my life, good and bad.
Digging into my unconscious mind through
methods like tapping, meditation and hypno-
therapy has allowed me to replace any nega-
tive self-limiting beliefs that are standing in
the way of creating the life I want.

14. Question:
What’s a belief others
may challenge you
on?

15. Answer:
Honestly, I don't have any.
I believe in universal truths
which apply to all of us -
no exceptions.

16. Question:
What’s a quote that
empowers you to pull
through tough times?

17. Answer:
“Resist Resistance and
Magic Becomes Real.”
The ones who go at the resistance head on, identify
the lesson, and move through it, are the ones that turn
these disguised problems into learning solutions that
breed confidence and improve your quality of life.
Resistance is moved through in different ways,
depending on the type of lesson or problem, the time
and space in which it occurs, and its severity. The one
common denominator of success is mindset. The
mindset to succeed, the mindset that looks for the
solution rather than reiterating the problem.
