#52 24 Hour Race Founder Chris Schrader: From a 5-Figure Charity to an 8-Figure Global Movement Against Human Trafficking – Part Two

Part Two. What began as a simple idea to honor a friend has now become a global movement. The 24 Hour Race is the largest student-run event combating human trafficking. In this episode, we explore how a one-time charity event turned into an ongoing mission, with thousands of students raising 20 millions for a noble cause. Key Highlights of Our Interview: From the Wilderness to the Workplace: Business Team Building 401 “Business is a watered-down version of an expedition, and an expedition is a hyperbolic version of business. The success of both depends on understanding team dynamics—bridging the gap between the strongest and weakest players.” “Your performance isn’t defined by your best players; it’s defined by your weakest. In the expedition world, you have two choices—get rid of your weakest link or rein in your top performers.” Don’t Be the Adventure Tour Guide—Leadership Takes Tough Calls “You’re not an adventure tour guide. You’re there to achieve a specific goal, and sometimes that means making tough calls against your team’s individual interests to keep the whole expedition on track.” Nietzsche, Space Dreams, and Paying the Bills “Nietzsche teaches us to live life with vitality, to focus on what brings joy in the moment. But, let’s be honest—sometimes that joy includes paying the electricity bill for your sous vide obsession.” It’s Not All About Musk and Zuckerberg: Real Impact Starts Closer to Home “The hardest thing isn’t creating global impact like Elon Musk or Mark Zuckerberg—it’s investing in the people around you and making a meaningful difference in their lives.” Connect with us: Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Chris Schrader ______________________ Chief Change Officer: Make Change Ambitiously.
