Chandler Walker - AKA The Care Hacker: Creating a Culture of Care Through Wellness, Mental Health, Social Health, Sleep, Nutrition & Habits
Chandler Walker started his entrepreneurial journey after graduating from the University of Nevada Reno with a degree in Biochemistry and forgoing a medical pathway to pursue a brick-and-mortar wellness facility. He then pivoted to an online health practice a year before the COVID lockdowns.After scaling both businesses to the 7 figure level and doing 3000-4000 sales consultations, Chandler was frustrated with the way sales were taught. He was tired of the old-school objection handling, aggressive tactics, and salesy attitude taught by most sales trainers.So he looked back at what he was doing, combed through his notes, and created Compassion Conversations. A therapeutic-driven, psychological-based sales system centered around compassion and care without manipulation, aggressive tactics, or being salesly.Chandler has taught over 3000 people his system of compassion Conversations and has the goal to change and redefine the landscape of sales altogether.Follow Chandler on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/Chandler_SAF/Get the 9 Step Framework to Creating Compassion Conversationshttps://9step.cultureofcare.life/Learn more about Stone Age Fuelhttps://stoneagefuel.com/Follow Chandler on Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/ChandlerSAFFind out more about GAIN THE PASSION Coachinghttps://www.gainthepassion.comAccess past episodes and more of the GAIN THE PASSION Podcasthttps://www.gainthepassionpodcast.com
Kevin Hoover - Hug Your People: A Family’s RV Journey Across America Helping Kids with Cancer, One Wagon At a Time

Kevin Hoover - Hug Your People: A Family’s RV Journey Across America Helping Kids with Cancer, One Wagon At a Time
Kevin Hoover lived most of his professional life thinking that he would be happy when the next thing happens. The promotion, the raise, the market changes. The joy always seemed to be around the next corner.  In 2019, Kevin's 4 year old son Baxley was diagnosed with stage IV cancer & the world stopped.  Everything that was once important became trivial.  Kevin's perspective and purpose changed.  Baxley beat cancer and now Kevin, and his wife Suzanne, operate a business from an RV that the family drives around America to help other kids who are fighting cancer. Kevin and Suzanne created a non profit that is called HYP! - Hug Your People & they have a goal to generate $1 million per year to help kids & their families. They give kids with cancer and their families a safe space when they are thrown into an unfamiliar world. They do this by giving kids a wagon, assisting families getting to and from treatment and funding pediatric cancer research.Hug Your People was something that Kevin and his family said to other people and to themselves. It was an innocent request for his family to let each other know that they needed a hug. As they said it to other people as a reminder, it started to catch on. Before you knew it, Baxley had inspired a movement of kind hearted people to care a little more about the people around them. It would become the very organization that Kevin's family is working on today.Follow Kevin on Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/kevin.hoover.399Follow HYP! - Hug Your People on Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/HugYourPeople/Find out more about HYP! - Hug Your Peoplehttps://hugyourpeople.org/Read Baxley's Storyhttps://hugyourpeople.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/story.pdfLearn more about Coaching with Kevin https://kevinhoovercoaching.lpages.co/Find out more about GAIN THE PASSION Coachinghttps://www.gainthepassion.comAccess past episodes and more of the GAIN THE PASSION Podcasthttps://www.gainthepassionpodcast.com
