EP 10: Chris' Personal Story of Relentless Growth

We are mixing things up a bit today and have Lindsey back on the show for a personal exploration of Chris' journey thus far! We have heard your feedback and are answering your requests for more personal information and background, and we knew that having Lindsey on would mean getting a whole lot more of the juicy bits that we would not want you all to miss out on. So we are laying out this episode in a classic interview style with Lindsey drawing out all the best answers from Chris in the hot seat! We get to hear about the early steps in Chris' journey in his high school and college days that set the tone for a lifelong curiosity about growth and improvement and Chris shares his feelings walking into his first job at a big law firm and the mentorship that allowed him to excel in this position. From there we talk about the changes that Chris made, transitioning from law into real estate and what informed this decision and enabled his pivot. Again, the success that Chris experienced very rapidly in his new field was down to the people he had around him and was able to learn from — another reminder of the power of coaching. Although from certain angles Chris' life at this time seemed almost perfect, there were some cracks under the surface, and the divorce that followed fractured an image of amazing successes and happiness.Key Points From This Episode:The high school retreat that kicked things off for Chris! Chris' thinking going into college and the focus he had on happiness and a calling.Graduating law school and starting work at a high profile firm! The mentor that helped Chris along his way in his years working in law. A pivotal moment that changed Chris' trajectory and how he took control of his destiny.The period following Chris' decision to quit law school and the law firm.A meeting that Chris arranged in order to look into real estate and its attraction.The amazing subsequent meeting that solidified Chris' decision to go into real estate.Lessons from Chris' time in real estate — the importance of training and mentorship. The motivation for growth; a desire to reach peak performance.  Some humps in the road and Chris' marriage that fell apart at the peak of his career.Chris' important decision to go into therapy immediately after the separation. The mindset shifts that enabled positive change after a devastating divorce. Chris' success in coaching and helping up and coming individuals. Links Mentioned in Today’s Episode:Lindsey Mango Lindsey Mango on Instagram Lindsey Mango on TwitterGoodman CoachingChris Goodman on LinkedInChris Goodman InstagramPurdue UniversityUniversity of LouisvilleThe FirmSusan ScottPulp FictionThe Paxton GroupKeller WilliamsTony RobbinsChris W.
