54: Breaking Free with Chris Hetzner (A Playbook For Fearless Growth and Living Life On Your Terms)

Chris Hetzner’s journey is a testament to resilience, adaptability, and calculated risk-taking. Starting out as a lead guitarist in a band and managing high-end restaurants in Los Angeles, Chris honed his leadership and operational skills early on. With an MBA in finance, he transitioned into consulting at Ernst & Young, working with industry giants like Ford and Uber, before moving to Meta to manage billion-dollar budgets and optimize customer service. Despite his corporate achievements, Chris longed for independence and control over his future. In 2018, he purchased his first short-term rental property, sparking the creation of Boost Rentals. Over time, he grew this side hustle into a thriving business, managing 50 properties across the U.S. In April 2024, after years of meticulous planning, Chris left his corporate role to focus entirely on his business. Now, he inspires others to embrace calculated risks, value time as the ultimate currency, and align their lives with their passions.
