-The strategies Chris used to overcome the odds and live a life of massive impact, despite his physical limitations

In this week’s episode we sit down with hip-hop management executive turned Nike-sponsored athlete to discuss how and why he dramatically altered his life’s course in the middle of huge success.

The episode actually went 3 hours, so we broke it up into two parts, but get ready to explore:

-Charlie’s childhood dream of being an athlete and why he gave up on it (only to come back to it 20 years later)

-Inside details on the hip hop recording industry, from meetings with Diddy to managing 2Chains

-Battling with food addiction and ballooning up to 300+ lbs

-The art of reinventing yourself and chasing your true dreams (it’s never too late)

-The power of manifestation and writing down your dreams as if they already were on a daily basis

-Losing 125 lbs, running an Ironman, becoming a Nike-sponsored athlete, and having a massive impact

And so much more...

If you are someone who has sidelined their dreams for a more normal life, you can’t help but be inspired and empowered by Charlie’s story.
