Customer Reviews
Modern Wisdom
I enjoy listening to Chris interview - he is smart, confident and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this podcast.
After Jordan got the treatment in 2019 finally a legitimate voice for men
I only head Chris recently on the Diary of a CEO. The process of identifying current issues then going their in the climate and doing so in such a considered way should not be hard, but its a Sign of the Times such a endeavor is so hard and laden with risk most don’t dare risk their carefully crafted Social Media presence.
The word Bravery gets banded around but rarely is it valid. In this case Bravery triggered Courage, through such effort Glory is possible. Putting aside the content , the sheer effort and skill in selecting and delivering the appropriate language alone was outstanding. Chris waked through the minefield flawlessly. Throughout that show my mind kept generating the image of a Chess Grandmaster playing a competitive match and the idea of 1000s of calories being burned while not moving.
I needed a lay down afterwards I can only imagine how they guys felt. Andrew Tate is a clever showman trying to make some $$ using extreme sounding views to sell his brand. Chris showed what Andrew could be like if he was really interested. I cannot remember being so blown away since catching Joe or Jordan for the 1st time. It made me proud to be British and for the 1st time in a while thought there are Men out there young guys can look towards and believe in. As a corporate whistleblower terrified I’ll get used for someone elses agenda, I’ve found someone I can approach to share my experience with. Bravo, Keep up the good work, no pressure! Adam - London
A great podcast
Great podcast, brilliant for fans of Rogan, Fridman, Peterson and Willink. How have I missed this guy’s podcast for so long?
