Some of the most successful people of our age have experienced issues with mental health. From the outside it seems as if things couldn’t be better, but the inner world can be insidious in its ability to show the world one thing but experience the inner turmoil in another way.
This rings true for our guest on today’s episode.

After trying many different treatments, he found what worked for him and was able to manage his depression in unique ways, while still hitting major professional and personal milestones.
Chris has faced demons head on, and has come out on the other side with a ton of wisdom to share with our listeners.
