Episode 20: Rebuilding to Win Within with Chris Cullen

In this episode of Convergence, I sit down with a very special guest and familiar voice—Chris Cullen—for a real, unfiltered conversation about life beyond the surface.Chris is an author, speaker, mindset coach, and Ironman athlete, and he’s also my first repeat guest on the show. While his background spans collegiate and minor league baseball and over a decade in a successful corporate career, this conversation goes far beyond the résumé. We focus on what’s happening internally—the mindset shifts, life transitions, and experiences that actually shape who we become.A big part of this conversation centers around Chris’s recent surgery and recovery, and what that process has challenged him to confront. We talk about the mental side of slowing down, the identity shifts that come with being temporarily sidelined, and what it looks like to stay grounded and intentional when your normal routines and physical outlets are taken away.Because of our friendship, this conversation is honest, reflective, and grounded in authenticity. We explore the tension between external success and internal fulfillment, what it really looks like to pivot in life, and how to navigate change in a way that actually aligns with who you are.If you’re navigating a transition, working through a setback, or redefining what success looks like for you, this episode is for you.
