E67: Chris Williamson on Identity Change, Sobriety, Cancel Culture and more
On this episode of Life and Lessons, you’re going to hear a conversation I had with Chris Williamson.
Chris is the host of the Modern Wisdom podcast, which he has used to have conversations with some of the most interesting people on the planet, including more than 100 New York Times Bestselling Authors – and in the process has racked up over 10 million downloads.
Away from the microphone, Chris is a director of Voodoo Events, who have welcomed more than 1 million partygoers through the doors of clubs across the UK
And he’s also had an inside look into the world of reality TV, as the very first person through the doors on the first series of Love Island.
So with all of that said, you can imagine how interesting a conversation this is going to be.
In the next hour, you’re going to learn:
- How embracing your true self and letting go of outdated versions of your identity can be a huge catalyst for positive change
- Why a club promoter who was once a self-confessed party-boy has spent almost 1,000 days sober in the pursuit of improved productivity
- Chris’ theory on the true motivation behind those who attach themselves to the cancel culture movement, and why we might one day see an end to it
- The exact steps you need to take right now if you want to come out of this lockdown as a better person
And so much more.
I shouldn’t pick favourites, but this is absolutely my favourite episode of Life and Lessons so far.
I’ve listened to well over 250 episodes of Chris’ podcast, so I thought I had nothing else left to learn from him, and yet he manages to spin my head over and over again in this conversation.
It’s incredible – and you’re really going to enjoy it.
