David traveled to the Hard Money Bankers headquarters in Columbia, Maryland for a wide-ranging conversation with founder Chris Haddon. David has known Chris since their days at Salisbury University and has always been enamored with his business savvy. Chris discusses his thoughts on productivity, working hard vs. working smart, his disdain for the word “busy,” his process of writing a successful book, the time he spends Colombia (the Country not the town), and much more. While his business of private money lending is not directly associated with the legal world, his business lessons are surly applicable and extraordinary valuable.   HARD MONEY BANKERS is a full service and self-funded private/hard money lending company providing fast and flexible financing for residential and commercial investment real estate deals. We are currently lending in Maryland, DC, Virginia, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.   HMB can be found at hardmoneybankers.com. Chris Haddon can be found on Instagram at “Chrishaddonhmb”Chris' book, The Whiteboard: Go from Blank Canvas to a Productive, Leveraged and Highly-Profitable Business, can be found on Amazon. It’s a great read!

Chris Haddon is interviewing Jim Creagan, President of Randob Labs, a pharmaceutical company based out of Cornwall, New York. Jim is a chemist by training and Chris was curious to see how that educational work and background factors into how he operates as a business owner. Chris and his business partner, Jason Balin, frequently talk about the trap of "transactional" work and how too many business people misconstrue that work as "productive," something that Jim is very dialed into in regards to his own business. In the course of the interview, it became clear that although Chris and Jim are in very different industries, they have many overlapping traits, which are key to running a successful business.

Chris Haddon and his future business partner, both in their 20s, had soaked up all they could learn at their banking jobs about finance and real estate. They took the plunge in late 2007, opening Hard Money Bankers, a commercial lending company. Then, in 2008, the real estate bubble burst and the economy tanked. Focusing the business “person-by-person, day by day,” they toughed out the recession. HMB grew to $25-million in loan volume and seven-figure revenues, using web marketing to disrupt the old school market. Chris also co-authored "The Whiteboard," an Amazon #1 Bestseller.
