This week I'm joined by Chris West (http://videonarrative.com) as he shares his journey of embracing discomfort to live a fulfilling life. Chris has committed to facing fears, uncomfortable situations and fully exploring life which has led to more fulfillment and a life well lived. Chris struggled with personal issues like low self-worth and a need to care for others, which led to feelings of hopelessness, but after many years of personal growth work, he found deeper joy and fulfillment by prioritizing self-care and his own self-love. Chris did this not only in his personal life, but when he recently shifted his business model in a huge way, gaining more freedom for himself and his kids while expanding their capabilities for his clients. BINGO! He emphasizes taking responsibility for one's own well-being and choices, rather than relying on others or external factors for happiness.
Chris West is the founder of Video Narrative, a brand design firm that specializes in growing speaking businesses through brand clarity, speaker demo reels, and website design. Before working with leading speakers around the world, Chris developed his approach for stories in his graduate work in Narrative Therapy.
Today Chris works alongside thought-leaders to increase their message, clarity, and impact through powerful narratives. When not telling stories, Chris is out backpacking with his three children, and attending an exhaustive amount of personal development retreats.
