“I loved people, and I wanted to be great.” - Chris Bussing

Sales was the path that made sense for that.

But his first big moment?

It didn’t feel great at all.

His manager looked at him and asked:

“How does it feel to be last?”

That was the line that flipped the switch.

From that moment on, he made a decision:

He was going to do everything he could to be the best.

So he leaned in.

He worked when no one was watching.

He learned when others were relaxing.

He grinded outside the 9–5 so he’d be ready the second a prospect picked up.

And that’s what built the foundation for where he is today.

Because when you lean in, really lean in, your future becomes unpredictable in the best possible way.

When you lean in, you win.

And winning is fun.

But here’s the part most people forget:

Good things take time.

Great things take intention.

Chris is proof of what happens when you choose both.

This episode is about growth, grit, and the power of deciding you won’t be last ever again.
