Chris offers something you can't get anywhere else When I was first introduced to Chris - I was definitely in a horrible place in life. Struggling at work, with health and my relationship. Struggle is not new, but being stuck was. I've done other programs, had coaches, read books, been to live events etc. But I would inevitably have some back slides and with COVID quarantine, I hit a whole new set of challenges. I was hesitant at first and not everyone supported my decision, but Chris' insight and conversation from our first conversation told me that he had real experience working with men in my situation. A huge realization of my own growth was recapping my first conversion with Chris an see that I went from 60-70 hours a week yet feeling only 40% was productive to a more normal 45 hours/week at 80% to 100% productivity! Being focused, present, and holding clear prioroties made a world of difference. Something that separated Chris and his program was the focus on identifying, naming, and reprograming the mental habits that hold us back. I've learned things from working with Chris that I have never seen anywhere else. I went from 1 of the worst mental positions of my life, to feeling more incredible, building stronger relationships with my fiancé & family, and working through a whole new set of goals. I would highly recommend working with Chris because you're going to learn some concepts and tools that you just won't see anywhere else.

Profoundly Helpful Before Ascent, I had been feeling meh and overwhelmed about work and life for about 10 years. I had a good tech job but was so worn out by it that I wanted to quit and just do landscaping and live a more simple life outside. Since Ascent though, I am able to find joy in my work, even though it is still challenging, and best of all I don't feel overwhelmed and worn out in my life anymore really, so I am working better AND just enjoying my life more. Enjoying life more is the best feeling and I feel more creative, more fun, and my relationship has improved a lot as well. It's honestly hard to believe how much it has helped!

Invest in yourself! I started my journey with Chris in early 2022, when I felt like I was in a deep rut both in my career and personal life. Over the 10-week program, I learned so much about myself, what has been holding me back, and tools for becoming my true authentic self. Chris and Stephen really know how to ask the right questions on the one-on-one calls, and there is always a great group of men in the weekly group calls. There is such a diverse background among the men involved but we are all very much connected through this program. While my journey has only begun with the knowledge I have learned from Chris and Stephen, I hope to continue on this path in the future. I would also highly recommend attending the retreats they host. Being out in nature with a great group of guys working through their issues is extremely powerful and I will never forget that weekend.

Choose to Break Free and Realize Your Full Potential This program was exactly what I needed when I needed it. When I started the AE program, I was incredibly low, and the negative beliefs I was maintaining were affecting my entire life. I had become detached from what was important to me in life (friends, family, personal connections, and enjoying this beautiful planet), felt stuck in my position at work, and completely burnt out. After trying the same thing for years, I had convinced myself there was nothing I could do about it. I needed a coach to try something new. Chris and Stephen’s coaching through the empowerment program was the “something new” I needed and broke me out of the spiral I had put myself in. The insight they provided at exactly the right moments was priceless. The personal discoveries over the course flipped my mindset and broke me out of my beliefs driving fear and self-doubt. It helped me rediscover the confidence I lost somewhere along the way, realize what is truly possible and embrace the powerhouse that is me!

Follow up review as my first was pulled down. My initial review written some time back was taken down for unknown reasons. I'm writing it again having spent time in the “boot camp” and “momentum accelerator”. 1st, I fully endorse the boot camp with associated modules/lessons and supporting content. Chris is a great facilitator and gives helpful insight as a coach should. There is an option to continue coaching after the 10 week program (momentum accelerator). This wasn't as valuable for me personally for a variety of reasons.
