Time for Saturday night Sangha. I’d like to teach and share a bit, if that’s alright with you.

This time around…

1.“What the hell is #BarbellShrugged up to?” I will tell you clearly, but you must listen! We’ve got cool shit cooking, but you’ve only seen a small bit.

2.I’ve lost something like 40 pounds since coming to Cali. I’ll share what I did, or do, every morning to trigger that.

3.“Chris, what would you tell your childhood self now?” Great question, I’ll answer it!

4.“What book should you read to transform your life?” …Well, let me teach again about looking too closely at pointing fingers.

I hope you enjoy the show.

Cheers, :)Chris
