Shaping Belief: A study on why we believe what we do and how to change it to point in the direction we want for our lives.

Our beliefs point in the direction of our future. If you don’t like the direction those beliefs are pointing, now is a great opportunity to do something about it. It’s time to take your future in your own hands and quit leaving it to chance. Throughout this book I’ll share practical tips to create, regain, and maintain the beliefs that are consistent with your goals.

For years I struggled, wondering whether or not I would end up any different than my mother and father. My mom committed suicide because she was not able to overcome her internal struggles. My dad was broke and on his fourth marriage when he finally lost his battle with cancer. I had to fight to create a belief in myself that was bigger than what I had seen growing up. I had to change what society would say about a kid who came from a broken home and had lost both parents. I was not supposed to succeed, but I did... and so can you. It is possible and I’m living proof. That is why Shaping Belief exists!

Join me as I walk alongside you through the process of understanding why we believe what we do. Then, I’ll show you how to wipe the slate clean and start the process of shaping a new set of beliefs that point in the direction of your choosing!

“My dad was a pastor and cheated on my mom.
She committed suicide.
He died of cancer.
I defied the odds, and so can you.”

Chris’ story is proof that though life rarely gives us what we hope for, we can still beat the odds and achieve a meaningful life. Every challenge presents a choice; a choice to either let circumstances define us or to do exactly the opposite. Chris has made it a point to do exactly the opposite by defining his own life and taking purposeful steps to overcome every challenge thrown his way. His fresh approach to overcoming the inevitable challenges life brings will inspire and motivate people from all walks of life to connect with their purpose and move beyond the challenges they face.

His experience of defying the odds stretches beyond overcoming personal challenges and into the business realm. Growing up, Chris worked in the family “startup” business. That startup went on to gross over 200 million dollars. In the years since, Chris has started or had ownership in over 10 businesses, experiencing a wide range of ups and downs; from losing everything to building it all back from scratch.

While serving as CMO at Oven Bits, he drove over 100% growth adding millions in revenue and helping to produce 20+ features in the Apple and Google App Stores. This was done in partnership with brands such as L’Oréal, Lush Cosmetics, Hilton, and Vogue. During this time, Chris published his first book: Step - Pursuing Your Dreams in the Midst of Everyday Life.

Chris has since produced Life Story - A step-by-step guide to creating the life you’ve always wanted, The “Blank” Leader - An in-depth guide to becoming a thriving leader, and The Intentional Year - A year dedicated to making you unstoppable.

Through the exhilarating heights of hard-earned success to the lows of disappointing failures, Chris has learned a handful of key principles that have helped him defeat the odds. He’s now on a mission to teach people of all walks of life how they can do the same and defeat the odds, no matter what their “everyday life” looks like.
