Send us Fan Mail

In this raw and riveting episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with Tanner Haas — four-time founder, bestselling author, and CEO of Freedom Chat — to unpack the unvarnished truth about entrepreneurship. From eating raw eggs and sleeping in the dark to selling a company for millions, Tanner shares what it really takes to go from broke to breakthrough. This is a conversation about grit, identity, belief, and the cost of betting on yourself — even when the world doubts you.

About the Guest:Tanner Haas started his first company at 18, sold it by 20, and never looked back. He's the CEO of Freedom Chat, the most private messaging app in the world, and the author of three books, including How to Achieve and Receive Anything You Want. Tanner's journey is defined by persistence, self-belief, and the relentless pursuit of growth — not comfort.

Key Takeaways:

• Entrepreneurship isn’t a highlight reel. It’s long nights, hard pivots, and radical sacrifice.

• Mental toughness separates dreamers from doers.

• Grit is a learned muscle — built through hardship, not hype.

• Success is not about never failing; it’s about never quitting.

• The biggest risk isn’t trying and failing — it’s living with regret.
