Average People Don't Ask. Winners Do.

Most people are not limited by ability. They are limited by the way they think. In this episode of the Average Sucks Show, Michael sits down with Mark Victor Hansen, co-author of Chicken Soup for the Soul and a lifelong entrepreneur, to explore what actually separates average thinking from above average results. This is not a conversation about motivation or inspiration. It is a conversation about decisions, asking, action, and ownership. Mark shares how learning to ask changed the trajectory of his life, why “ask first and figure it out later” is not reckless but strategic, and how average thinking quietly keeps people stuck in comfort, hesitation, and self-doubt. If you are an entrepreneur, a leader, or someone who knows you did not come here to live an average life, this episode will push you to rethink what is possible. Average thinking waits. Above-average thinking asks and acts. If you want to learn more about our guest and the power of asking, visit askthebookclub.com
