    • Chris was born in

    Singapore and grew up in crazy places like Iran and California. Since
    then, he explored things like school and leadership in natural foods and
    eventually ended up being a writer. Somehow, all that culminated in a
    coaching gig that’s working out pretty well.

    Now he guides other writers who’ve lost touch with their creative spark. They call him Captain Authenticity.

    He hasn’t been on social media since 2016.

    Enjoy this great conversation with Chris.
