Chris M. King of Status Flow has a fascinating career and an even more intriguing life mission. Drawing from his personal hardships as a child, he gained the strength to be a self-motivator, taking on sacrifices necessary to build his success and create an impact on the executive world. ----------- HOST: Chaz Volk | Facebook, Instagram, Twitter - @MrThriveMeda | Chaz@MrThrive.com Guests: Chris M. King | www.StatusFlow.net | IG @thestatusflow Buy his book on Amazon: Renegotiate Your Existence ----------- Artists Upsurge - May 26 at 4pm PT/6pm CDT https://www.eventbrite.com/e/337354244627 Like the quality of this show? Thanks to Squadcast ===> https://squadcast.fm/?ref=charlesvolk ----------- bio: Pique-performance executive coach and speaker Chris M. King facilitates the journeys that lead to the discoveries that create sustainable transformations for professional organizations, teams, and individuals. Pre-packaged solutions have no value in discovery or innovation. He doesn't show clients THE way or HIS way; he guides them in finding THEIR way. Using his education in spiritual psychology and studies of neuroscience, Chris changes the way clients relate to their worlds to achieve a state of “flow” — what athletes call “the zone” — where they can renegotiate their existence. They experience exponential increases in leverage, innovation, and balance while eliminating burnout so they can run their businesses (and lives) instead of it running them. “When we make the unconscious conscious,” Chris says, “we make the impossible, and even the unimaginable, a reality.” Chris has trained and collaborated with the best: the Flow Research Collective, the Flow Genome Project, David Bayer, Brendon Buchard, and  SEAL Fit/Unbeatable Mind, and completed a master's program in spirituality psychology at the University of Santa Monica. He also had the good fortune of spending time with and learning from Gene Kranz, NASA Flight Director for many Apollo and Gemini space missions. He is currently working with retired US Navy SEALs as he is committed to continuing to up his own game. Chris has consulted on development programs such as Rise Up For You!® and Zen Warrior Training®, has been a featured panelist for Allison Armstrong's Understanding Men® seminars, and is a featured SUE Talks® presenter for, and member of, Connected Women of Influence®. He is an “initiated man” through Mankind Project International® and is a contributing featured author for The Good Men Project® and Elephant Journal®.  His first book, Renegotiate Your Existence: Unlock Your Impossible Life, is available on Amazon today! ----------- This is a Mr. Thrive Media production | email: Chaz@MrThrive.com | Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter Learn more about your ad choices.

GO PLACIDLY amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy. ----------- HOST: Chaz Volk | Facebook Instagram Twitter - @MrThriveMeda | Chaz@MrThrive.com ----------- Like the quality of this show?
