I was really stuck in a rut where I… I was really stuck in a rut where I didn't know what to do. I was going through a really tough transition in life. Young kid and career change happened all at once. I felt trapped in a way that I had never experienced before and couldn't see a way out. Chris's approach was incremental weekly challenges and he held me accountable. That's what I needed: The strategies and tactics to dig down and find my best self and allow him to come to the surface and dominate. He also helped me deal with issues that had been a problem as long as I could remember, he gave them names and ways to deal with them. I could see results immediately. Now I have a new job that I never thought I would be able to get and my home life is so much better. With the methods of dealing with my stress that Chris taught me I don't have to pass that stress on to my family. I continue to grow and heal with his teachings and I will always be grateful. I had tried therapy and read a lot of books, but Chris's program was the one thing that got me out of the rut. I hope others can do this and find the same success I did.

Invaluable in helping me reframe my mindset. Working with Chris and Stephen has helped unlock the potential that was always within me. It has helped grow my confidence and silence my inner critic. In the last 6 months, I have experienced major personal and professional changes. I can definitively say that I would not be embracing the new path I find myself on without their help and guidance.

You've Got Nothing to Complain About...So Why Aren't You Happy I didn't quite understand how bad my state of unliving was until I started the Creating an Empowered Life program. Everything indicated that I "should" be on top of the world...great career, amazing family, lots of "friends", material possessions...but in reality, I was really struggling. When my hobbies were dormant and the music stopped, I was burnt out, unmotivated, lethargic, quick tempered, and utilizing my phone or the television to distract these realities each night in attempting to fall asleep. Fast forward as I am approaching completion, I can honestly say that I've only fallen asleep watching television 2 times in the past 2.5 months. And both mornings afterwards, I've woken up without judgement but in the mindset of acknowledgement and hyperawareness of how I feel mentally, physically, and emotionally. This presence creates a lasting motivation and energy to continue down the paths that I know will best serve me and the ones that I love around me. While this was my primary objective in joining the program, had I known all of the other "wins" I would find along the way, I would've probably paid more! But I am not here to say that everything is perfect and that all my problems are fixed because Chris can hire actors to say that. I am living proof that downturns will still happen and yucky feelings do creep back in, I just know that I don't have to stay there for extended periods of time and that I have the tools to get me back to feeling awesome again. Make the investment in yourself and take your life to it's full potential...the guidance is profound, the progression is well designed, the network is invaluable...you don't have to do it on your own!!

Always striving… As someone who has always been striving for more, I have read lots of books, Steven Covey etc. and took courses for self improvement including an MBA, Critical Thinking etc. None has had such a profound positive effect on my life as Chris' course. The accountability and reflection as well as the group meetings with other guys similar to me really hit home. I was reluctant initially to sign on, but really glad I did. I did not expect to find that is was one of the best investments in myself I could have done. Follow the course along and you will discover the better you, which you have been seeking.

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.
