Expect to the Everyday Perspective on Chris's many life lessons, his first awakening during the 90's dance scene, his time in Hong Kong, hitting rock bottom as an addict, how he changed his life around, his system to acheive positive energy, his thoughts on the matrix and the dark world agenda; and much more... 

Chris Thrall was born in South-East London. Aged eighteen, he joined the Royal Marines Commandos. Following active service in the Northern Ireland Conflict and training in Arctic warfare and survival, he earned his parachutist’s ‘wings’ and operated as part of a high-security detachment on board an aircraft carrier.

In 1995, Chris moved to Hong Kong to oversee the Asia-Pacific expansion of a million-dollar marketing operation he’d built part-time while serving in the forces. Six months later, he was homeless, in psychosis from crystal meth addiction and working as a nightclub doorman for the 14K, Hong Kong’s most ruthless triad gang.

Now, Chris is sober and an international bestselling author, a qualified pilot, skydiver, ultra-runner, he has travelled across eighty countries on seven continents, including backpacking through all of North, Central and South America. In 2018, with zero training for three years following spinal surgery, he ran an ultra-marathon every day for 37 days, 999 miles from John O’Groats to Land’s End, solo, unsupported and carrying 14kgs of camping equipment, to raise awareness of veterans’ suicide and £18K for charity.
