Think Like A CEO, Build Multi 7-Figure Businesses, and Lead as A Power Couple with Drew & Rachel Thomas

Author: Lori Harder | YAP Media December 10, 2025 Duration: 1:20:04
Done will always beat perfect when you are building your next level. In this episode, I sit down with Drew and Rachel to talk about what it really takes to move through failure, chaos, and fear to build a life, marriage, and multiple 7-figure businesses together. We talk about how to stop operating from burnout, simplify your business to scale faster, and build real wealth instead of just cash flow. They share how messy action became their superpower, why faith and values drive every decision they make, how to raise your standards in business and leadership, and how to stop playing small even when your environment tells you to stay safe. Get ready to think bigger, move faster, and finally step into the CEO version of you.

Hosted by entrepreneur and author Lori Harder, Earn Your Happy is a raw and relatable look at what it actually takes to build a meaningful life and business. This podcast lives in the messy middle ground between a bold vision and its realization, exploring the risks, the failures, and all those moments of doubt that nobody talks about on a polished highlight reel. Lori’s conversations are grounded in real experience-her own journey as a founder and host-and they cut through the noise of typical business advice. You’ll hear honest stories about the rollercoaster of chasing big goals, where laughter and vulnerability are just as important as strategy. It’s this authentic, no-BS approach that has resonated with so many, earning the show recognition as a top entrepreneurship podcast. Each episode feels like a candid talk with a friend who’s been there, offering not just inspiration but practical perspectives for navigating your own path. Tune in for a dose of reality that’s as motivating as it is genuine, proving that building something you love is never a straight line.
