Connect With Chaz

Chance McClain has filmed about 800 families, and the one thing nearly all of them say is that they wish they had done this with their own dad.

If you are building a business and a family at the same time, this conversation shows you what your kids will actually remember.

Chance founded Heritage Films after a friend asked him to film his father. He ran it like a side hustle until about four or five years ago, when he realized it was a company that put his kids through college. Today his daughter works in the office, his wife has run the books since day one, and his family still goes to Disney World together every year.

In this conversation with Chaz Wolfe, you will learn why Chance stopped saying busy, tired, and hard, why he hires character before skills, what 800 families taught him about legacy, and how he stopped hiding his price.

Key Takeaways

• Watch your words. A farmer told Chance that busy, tired, and hard are complaints. Chance has avoided them for five years.
• Turn the side hustle into a business. Chance had QuickBooks and thought he was a business person. Now he treats the numbers as levers.
• Hire character before skills. Tilman Fertitta told him to hire people he trusts because you can teach them anything.
• Someone has to change the trajectory. One wealthy client said he missed ball games but has no regrets because his family is taken care of for generations.
• Communicate the obvious. Say the big, blatant thing first, and choose face to face over phone, text, or social media.
