1 小时 7 分钟So my guest today, Chris Winfield, is actually a good friend of mine.
We have been part of a group of New York City dads who've been meeting on a regular basis for years now just to kind of support each other.
And I'm really excited to be able to dive into his story with him.
So in the late or in sort of the mid to late two thousands, Chris was really riding hives, living fast.
A co founder of one of the hottest creative agencies in tech, pretty much had the world at his feet.
But secretly, he was dying inside.
He was addicted.
And at what seemed like the height of his success, Chris's business and his life pretty much completely imploded.
He realized there just had to be a different way.
And starting in recovery, he set off on this journey of rediscovery, deeply personal, seeking to figure out who he was, what really mattered to him from the inside out, and how he wanted to serve.
And years later, coming from a way more intentional and healthy place, he's completely rebuilt his life.
Lean and sober, leading by giving, and found a way to tap what he learned was actually one of his greatest and most valued strengths, which was his ability to connect with people.
That eventually fueled the launch of a series of publicity events for entrepreneurs and experts he called unfair advantage.
Live along with a new venture called Super Connector Media, which is really fun and cool because he's on a kind of a mission to help people share their unique genius with the world.
Really excited to share Chris, his story, his rediscovery and reclamation and devotion to service.
In today's conversation, I'm Jonathan Fields, and this is good life project.
I was never really allowed to be still growing up, never.
Like, that was not something you wouldn't walk into our house growing up and see anyone just like, laying on the couch or meditating or anything like that.
Like, it was always, you had to be in movement.
And I still have that where I'm like, oh, well, I'll feel guilty.
