Ask
by Mark Victor Hansen and Crystal Dwyer Hansen
Mentioned once across 1 show · first heard Jan 2026 on Mick Unplugged.
The general take
Jordan Mendoza recalls Mark Victor Hansen crediting Ask, his book with his wife Crystal, as transformative advice—specifically, Hansen told him that leaving corporate was the best decision he could make. The anecdote frames Ask as wisdom from someone with serious credentials (having sold half a billion copies of Chicken Soup for the Soul), though we're hearing about the book mainly through Mendoza's admiration for Hansen's validation of his own career move.
