  • This One Goes Deep

    Christopher takes an open ended approach to interviewing his guests. He engages with presence and vitality that allows something new, dynamic, and exciting to emerge in the conversation. It means that a listener has an opportunity to not just engage at the head level, but also to listen with their heart. That means this is a podcast that can guide you in a way of being, not just learning facts.

    I recommend it for any man looking for guidance on opening to his full self.

  • Connector to so many ExpertsInTheField

    Having worked with Keith Edwards (ep 69), having read Mark Greene (ep 66) and having watched Ashanti Branch (ep 61) on The Mask You Live in, I was struck by Christopher’s ability to host so many wonderful impactful people from the work in his show. The level of respect he would have to command to gather such a community is powerful.
