As the second guest to ever appear on the show, Chris returns for a deep dive into how his life has transformed since our first conversation.Back in our initial interview, Chris was navigating the world as a dedicated martial artist and coach without the responsibilities of a family.

Chris shares how he successfully manages the intensity of the gym while staying present for his wife and son, and how the discipline, patience, and resilience learned on the mats have become his greatest tools in fatherhood. Whether you are a combat sports enthusiast, a coach, or a parent trying to balance your own passions with family life, Chris’s journey offers incredible insights into growth, maturity, and finding your "why."Follow Chris on Instagram: @ghostx315 ------ Find this episode on YouTube by searching for "Cory Cast" ----- Don't forget to follow, rate, and subscribe! ---- Instagram: @Frothy_Lawson | Twitter: @FrothyLawson --- Thank you to this episode's sponsors: Thur13en
