Chris recently left Sportsnet where he produced NBA promotions including the Toronto Raptors. His decision to leave was based on not feeling fulfilled and wanting to step outside his comfort zone to produce work he was proud of.

Chris has always been into music and started to experiment with producing his own and started a YouTube channel around it. During this time, he educated himself with the music production process, furthering his own skills.

Chris' experience taught him that it's not just about the shots and the editing, but having a story that conveys emotion is critical in the process. He is also offering a mentorship program to better help creatives in the industry and has connected with various professionals to get a better sense of the media landscape.

It's a fascinating conversation with someone who has the "dream job" to taking the courage to step out into the unknown.
