How to Start Making Your Dream Happen NOW, Especially If You Don’t Feel Ready
Ready is not a feeling, it’s a decision. In this episode, I’m sharing my personal journey through moments of fear, pivots, sleepless nights, and even the times I felt abandoned by God. I’m also sharing how those dark seasons became the exact places where my faith was forged. If you’ve ever waited for the “perfect time” to chase your dreams or felt stuck in the weight of rejection and failure, this episode will shift the way you see yourself, your faith, and your ability to move forward boldly. Get ready, because this conversation will help you stop waiting for ready, start trusting in the process, and have the audacity to keep showing up for the life you know you’re meant for.

Stop Settling for Good When Great Is Waiting
Sometimes you have to get out of your bubble to see what’s really possible. Chris just got back from eight unforgettable days in Italy with his brother, and he came home with some powerful lessons. In this episode, we talk about why stepping away from your business might be the very thing that helps it grow, what Ferrari and Pagani can teach us about resilience and risk, and how Europe reminds us to slow down and actually live the life we’re building. We also share how we support each other when one of us craves adventure and the other craves roots, and why honoring your truth always pays off.
