Win Today with Christopher Cook

About a year ago, I watched a documentary on Netflix called Seven Days Out, and was captivated by one of the episodes featuring a restaurateur named Will Guidara. Well, this week, Will is here, and he joins me to talk about trust, loyalty, hard conversations, and why adversity is a terrible thing to waste. Will is the former co-owner of Eleven Madison Park in New York City, which received four stars from the New York Times, earned three Michelin stars, and was named the number-one restaurant in the world. Add to that Will is married to renowned pastry chef, Christina Tosi, also seen on Netflix's Chef's Table. This conversation was one of my favorites this year, so I'm excited to share it with you in just a moment.

If you enjoy this episode with Will, I'm sure you'll also enjoy the following:

• 310: Dharius Daniels on Emotional Intelligence, Living Outside Your Identity, and the Misguided Pursuit of “Your Best Self”
• 298: Jamie Winship on How Live Fearless in Your True Identity

Right now, one of the things many of us have had to let go of is that comfort of familiarity. People want to get back to “normal” life, even if the “normal” life before COVID was anything but life-giving. Attachment to the comfort of familiarity is hard to break, especially when we’re feeling the budge to change the direction of our life and do something different. What gets in the way of making that decision, of pulling the trigger and taking a risk? Fear? Inadequacy? Lack of preparation? In today’s conversation with former co-host of ABC’s “The View” and co-anchor of “Good Morning America,” Paula Faris, we’ll walk through the steps necessary to make a life-altering change. We’ll also talk about burnout, people-pleasing, the Enneagram, and so much more. How do you know if you should be doing something different with your life? That’s the question we’ll tackle today in my conversation with Paula Faris.
