In this powerful episode, I sit down with global saxophonist and influencer Chris Mitchell, whose life is a living testimony of faith, resilience, and the pursuit of purpose. Chris's story begins with unimaginable childhood trauma—witnessing extreme family violence, homelessness, and nights spent under bridges or on church floors. Yet, through it all, he never abandoned his faith. Instead, he leaned into his God-given gift of music, discovered at just five years old. From performing saxophone for tips at a small restaurant, to building an email list of over half a million contacts by hand, to selling out shows and eventually touring internationally with Groupon partnerships, Chris's relentless action and belief in divine guidance transformed his life. Today, he's not only one of the first 200 paid influencers on TikTok, but also a world-touring musician who's performed at major events, including for boxing champion Claressa Shields. His authenticity and commitment to connecting deeply with his audience set him apart in an age of surface-level influence. This conversation is about more than music. It's about overcoming adversity, trusting your gift, and building something extraordinary from nothing. 0:00 Intro 6:33 – The night his father stabbed his mother and sister 9:31 – How his mother miraculously survived 19:55 – Discovering his musical gift at age 4-5 24:18 – Evictions, homelessness & living in a church 31:53 – Staying on the “narrow path” through faith 49:31 – Graduating during the recession & struggling to find work 50:43 – Playing saxophone for tips at Turquoise 55:37 – The hustle: earning from small gigs 1:00:10 – Collecting half a million emails by hand 1:06:41 – Renting a jazz club & selling out in 20 minutes 1:12:29 – Touring America, sleeping in his SUV 1:24:00 – Partnering with Groupon to do an international world tour 1:27:03 – Surviving hardship while chasing the dream 1:28:28 – How faith guided every step 1:36:04 – Authenticity & building real connection with fans 1:40:14 – Final wisdom: resilience, faith & the power of your gift 1:55:56 A mini concert Check out Mark's best selling book on Leadership Strategy:

"The hardship and everything I went through created the fire inside, people don't understand the woman I am." Claressa Shields Heavyweight Undisputed Champion In this powerful, no-holds-barred episode of The Pivot Podcast, the GWOAT herself—Claressa Shields—joins Ryan Clark, Channing Crowder, and Fred Taylor for one of her most personal interviews to date. From surviving a tough upbringing in Flint, Michigan to becoming the only boxer—male or female—to be undisputed in two weight classes simultaneously, Claressa shares the raw truth behind her journey. She opens up about the pain that made her, the critics that tried to break her, and the constant pressure of being a Black woman at the top of one of the most male-dominated sports in the world. But it's not all about the ring. In a deeply personal moment, Claressa reveals the reason behind two of her early dreams: Becoming an Olympic medalist and buying a bed. Sleeping on the floor most of her childhood and always having to fight for acceptance led her to fight for what she wanted. Claressa also lets us in on her private life—specifically her relationship with rapper and hip-hop legend Papoose. She talks about the bond they've built, what his steady support means to her, and how love and loyalty outside the ring fuel her fight inside of it, even opening up on motherhood in the near future. It's a side of Claressa the public rarely sees—vulnerable, grounded, and deeply human. With her next undisputed title defense set for July 26 in Detroit, Claressa shares what's driving her into this fight, why it feels more personal than ever, and how she's staying focused amid everything—from family to fame to legacy. She addresses the critics who've downplayed her success, and the media that still tries to put limits on her greatness while acknowledging that her journey is a lot like her male counterpart, Terrance Bud Crawford, who she calls he twin, not just in the fight game but in life too. This isn't just another sports interview. It's a real conversation with one of the most dominant and dynamic athletes of our time—who's still fighting for her respect, her people, and her place in history. Learn more about your ad choices.
