Episode 56

56 - Chris Voss : from persevering through dark times to inspiring beacons of leadership

Published on: 2nd November, 2021

I'm joined this week by Chris Voss, author of 'Beacons of Leadership', Forbes Top 50 recognized, CEO/Host of The Chris Voss Show, consultant, speaker, Youtuber and coach. We talk about gratitude, discovering your purpose, reviewing your life experiences to determine your toolkit. The role and strength we as men can serve for one another through accountability and community.

As a serial entrepreneur, Chris built a portfolio of businesses over many years to watch them fade as the 2008 recession hit. But, he continued to fight and persevere, using his creativity and out-of-the-box thinking to discover his recovery and success. When the pandemic began, he used his 2008 experiences to share lessons learned and inspire others. In lifting others through his experiences, he was then encouraged by the community to write 'Beacons of Leadership' and they formed an accountability group to write their books too.

About the Podcast

Living Fearless Today
Helping men break generational cycles, heal the father wound, and become a better husband and dad.
You swore you'd be a different kind of father than the one who raised you. Then one day you caught his words and tone coming out of your mouth. You felt the same distance creep in at home, and wondered how much of him you're still carrying despite the promise you made to yourself.

Living Fearless Today is a podcast for men who are done repeating the patterns they grew up with. Host Mike Forrester has stood where you're standing. Every week he brings honest conversations and practical tools for the parts of a man's life that rarely get said out loud: the father wound you never named, the anger that shows up with the people you love most, the marriage that's gone quiet, and the man you still want to become.

The show helps you understand the past that shaped you. Then you take an honest look at where you stand today as a husband, a father, and a man. From there you start building the future you actually want, one choice at a time, instead of drifting into the one you were handed and currently living out.

Episodes cover identity, anger, shame, marriage and fatherhood, relationships, self-worth, courage, emotional intelligence, legacy and purpose, and the brotherhood that the vast majority of men are missing. If you've looked for how to break generational cycles, face a father wound, handle anger as a dad, or become a better husband and father, start here.

The cycle can end with you. Press play and take the first step toward becoming the man you needed when you were young.
