Quote: “The mindset has to be the #1 most prioritized focus of every single morning and every single day.” Chris West

Let’s be honest, that familiar feeling of “what’s next?” seems to be swirling around again. We’ve navigated these uncertain waters before, haven’t we? But just because we’ve been here doesn’t mean it feels any less… well, uncertain! So, to inject a shot of perspective and a whole lot of positivity into our world, we’re thrilled to welcome back Chris West! He’s going to share his insights on the current state of the speaking industry, video and, even better, give us some actionable ideas on how to keep that momentum going. Stay tuned until the end for a very special free offering!

Chris is the owner and founder of Video Narrative, a production company specializing in growing speaking businesses through brand clarity, speaker demo reels, and website design. Chris’s narrative work originated in a neurobiology class, where he first learned the power of story for organizing information in the mind. Completing this research one May afternoon, he resolved never to create another video without telling an authentic story…a commitment that led to years of research on how we connect, learn, and grow through stories.

If you’re looking for some constructive ideas to help you stay positive, focused, and get your most genuine message out into the world, you simply can’t afford to miss this episode!

I hope you’ll listen and learn.
