In this first episode of We Are Encoded, Chris is interviewed by James Robert Lay to share his evolution from chasing success to finding inner freedom. 

After building successful businesses but feeling trapped, Chris discovered that transformation begins with changing beliefs, not actions. 

Through journaling, self-awareness, and releasing limiting beliefs like "I need to suffer to be successful," Chris found a path to alignment and fulfillment that anyone can follow with the right mindset practices.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

• The concept of freedom beyond financial success

• How our thoughts create our emotions, which drive our actions

• The importance of reprogramming limiting beliefs

• Why journaling is a powerful tool for self-awareness

• The difference between "tugboat" and "lighthouse" approaches to helping others

• How to recognize when something feels "off" and trusting your intuition

• Breaking free from the belief that suffering is necessary for success

This episode reveals the transformative power of habits and mindset shifts that lead to true freedom and success.
