In this episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing Chris Williamson, a club promoter turned podcast host with over 200m+ downloads and one of the biggest shows in the world. Chris’s journey of designing a new life and taking massive risks to chase his passions, including giving up a lucrative career and moving across the world, is nothing short of inspiring. We break down the “Joe Rogan Conflation” of difficult and valuable, reveal the top three traits of high achievers, and discuss why curiosity is the underrated superpower of success. Enjoy the episode!
