Warning authentic conversation follows. Be prepared to talk to your kids about sex if they are listening. -- Meaning Making is for those who have laughed and cried and loved and lost and are now staring down the decades that remain, wondering how to ensure they don't miss out on the exquisite chaos of the here and now. No one is broken, everyone is worthy of being known, and we're all a collection of complex, beautiful messes. These are the core truths that drive this gritty and authentic book forward. It's about becoming fully human, one moment at a time—no matter what age you are. This is not memoir or self-help. Chris acknowledges he doesn't have all the answers (or many at all). He doesn't offer five-step action plans, earth-shattering advice, or a promise to change your life. Instead, he shares seemingly ordinary anecdotes, mundane moments that become formative life lessons—but only if we choose to make meaning from them. Vulnerable, heartfelt, and relatable, Meaning Making is about Chris's commitment to embracing the second half of life—and inviting you to do the same. Chris Field is an award-winning author and two-time TEDx speaker. He is the founder of Mercy Project, an innovative nonprofit that combats child trafficking in Ghana's fishing industry. Mercy Project has rescued, rehabilitated, and reintegrated nearly three hundred formerly enslaved children back into their families. Chris has broken multiple Guinness world records, run dozens of marathons, and taught hundreds of business students at Texas A&M University. His previous books include Disrupting for Good and A Billion Hours of Good. He lives in College Station, Texas, with his wife, Stacey, and their four children. While all of this sounds really important and impressive (which he understands is the point of this section), he's also just a regular guy who loses his temper, forgets his wallet, messes up a lot, and has a whole host of shortcomings equally as unimpressive as the two paragraphs above. In other words, he's a beggar on a journey for bread, just like everyone else in the world.

They dive into the significance of systems thinking for leaders, emphasizing how it can address complex problems and instill hope within their organizations. Through his own journey, Chris highlights the value of long-term commitment, warns against the allure of quick fixes, and champions the enduring power of persistence. Chris's story underscores the importance of understanding the intricacies of a problem before attempting to solve it. By identifying the root cause and working towards a sustainable solution, real and lasting change can be achieved. Whether it's tackling child trafficking or any other complex issue, the principles of systems thinking, persistence, and introspection are invaluable.

Prepare to be inspired today!    Today we are sitting down with the incredible Chris Field, founder of the Mercy Project, author of two books, career entrepreneur, and Father.    As an individual Chris had the opportunity to visit Ghana on a mission where he encountered children who had been trafficked and sold to fishermen. Leaving those children behind as he returned home became the catalyst for what is now The Mercy Project.  By introducing a new fishing method that eliminates the need for extra labor, Chris was able to negotiate the release of the trafficked children, returning them home.    Since 2009 Mercy Project has aimed to be fully invested and involved in Ghana. From a fully Ghanian staff to innovating change for those who have been affected. Chris and his team are fully committed to creating positive change in the world.    In addition to changing hundreds of lives, raising kids, Ted Talks, and other motivational events; Chris wrote two incredible books “Disrupting for Good” and “A Billion Hours of Good.”     If you, like us, asked “ How the heck does he do all this?? Are the reason Field's wrote both of his books. He hands us the keys to creating change and success, makes it simple, and tells us that, even if it is the smallest bit of change- it will have a snowball effect and create even more change.    So hustlers, with that we will leave you with Chris's favorite quote in order to become inspired to change the world:   “My life was changed forever when my willingness to do great things outgrew my fear of failure” Connect with Chris Field's and Mercy Project  Website: https://mercyproject.net/   Instagram: @mercyproject   Chris's Instagram: @distuptionchris   Twitter : @mercyproject   Chris's Twitter: https://twitter.com/disruptionchris   Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/mercyproject   Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2H7R3rH7q35ZxN58OZh6mQ   Links to Purchase Chris's Books Disrupting for Good- https://meetchrisfield.com/ A Billion Hours of Good- https://www.amazon.com/Billion-Hours-Good-Changing-Minutes/dp/1684263115 Connect with Hustlers for a Cause: Visit our website: www.hustlersforacause.com Follow us on Instagram: www.instagram.com/hustlersforacause Follow us on Twitter: www.twitter.com/hustlers4acause Join our Facebook community: www.facebook.com/hustlersforacause/community Subscribe to our YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/channel/UCCJl0-Mxt3jcLle9_9TEfqA  

Often, we feel God's call to do something big for His glory.  At times, that calling may feel overwhelming to us.  We want to do His Will, but we may not know how and when. In this episode of Victory Groove, hear how Chris Field, a U.S. citizen, had the boldness, faith, and confidence to fight child trafficking in Ghana, Africa after reading about the horrendous problem there.  The Mercy Project was born out of a need to take action to address this critical human condition.  Lessons explored in this episode:  Knowing God is involved smooths our life's journey.   Roots and rocks will always appear in our daily walk. Our faith, trust in His benevolence, and love helps us move confidently forward in life.  Chris Field has been challenging complacency and disrupting the status quo most of his life. His most important disruption is Mercy Project, the non-profit he started to rescue children from human trafficking in Ghana, Africa. Its innovative approach has drawn international attention and earned the prestigious Norman Borlaug Humanitarian Award. To date, Mercy Project has rescued more than 150 children, returned them to their families, and provided them with an education that will transform their future for generations to come. Field lives in College Station, Texas with his wife Stacey and their four young children.

This is episode number 266, Rescuing Boys Labor Trafficked in the Fishing Industry with Chris Field. Production Credits [00:00:11] Produced by Innovate Learning, maximizing human potential. Dave [00:00:31] Welcome to the Ending Human Trafficking podcast. My name is Dave Stachowiak. Sandie [00:00:37] And my name is Sandie Morgan. Dave [00:00:39] And this is the show where we empower you to study the issues, be a voice, and make a difference in ending human trafficking. Sandie, I'm so looking forward to this conversation today, like I am for for so many of our conversations because I learn something new and one thing I realized in preparation for today's conversation about the fishing industry is I know very little about this industry. And of course, as we've talked about so often on the show, there's so many different aspects of trafficking and it touches, unfortunately, every industry in some way. Today, we're going to study the issues even more so we can ultimately be a voice and make a difference in all the work that we're doing. And I'm so glad to welcome Chris Field to the show today. He is the founder and executive director of Mercy Project. He traveled to Ghana for the first time in August 2009 and has since been on a mission to bring new life to children in slavery, as well as empower those around him to make the world a better place. Chris and his wife, Stacey, have five children, and he is the author of Disrupting for Good and a Billion Hours of Good. Chris, we're so glad to have you on the show today. Chris [00:01:51] Dave, Sandie, thank you guys so much for having me. It's truly an honor to be with you. Sandie [00:01:56] Well, Dave, I already had one conversation with Chris and we couldn't fit it all into a half an hour, so we're going to dive right in and do our best today. Let's start by reframing the word rescue. Chris, typically I imagine people running out of a burning house and the fireman running in to rescue any other occupants. But your definition is a little different. Can you expand on that? Chris [00:02:31] Yeah, of course. I mean, first, let me say we've had as a community and as an organization, we've had dozens of hours of conversation around this word because we don't want it to connote this savior complex of some sort and we've really struggled over the word. Is there a better word to explain what it is that happens in a community when children who have been bought for 20, 30,

"The best time to do the right thing is right now." ~ Chris FieldChris Field (@disruptionchris) is an author and founder of Mercy Project, an organisation responsible for rescuing hundreds of children from modern slavery in Ghana. In this conversation we talk about Mercy Project's innovative approach to tackling this problem, and how it can be applied to other social problems. We also cover other more light hearted topics such as Chris's viral ice cream review, and his inspiring approach to doing good in the world, which is also the subject of his new book, A Billion Hours of Good.If you enjoy the podcast, please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you are listening.

In this episode of the Social Lights Podcast, podcast host and https://my.captivate.fm/www.socialmediology.com.au (Social Mediology) founder Kate vanderVoort chats with Chris Field, CEO and founder of Mercy Project, an innovative nonprofit working to end child labor trafficking in Ghana, Africa. Outside of his role at Mercy Project, he is an award-winning author, speaker, business consultant, college lecturer, four time Guinness world record holder, viral sensation, 27-time marathoner, and ice cream lover. About Chris Chris' passion around community is centered on all of us getting more comfortable with what it is that we have to offer. He believes that when we choose to give what we have and not what we have left, the impact of that kind of gift can be so great. His greatest superpower is inspiring people to believe they can actually change the world and then showing them how to join him in doing it. He is married to his high school sweetheart, Stacey, and is father to Micah, Beckett, Lincoln, and Theodore. He is the author of "A Billion Hours of Good" and "Disrupting for Good." BIG IDEA 1 “Community is us believing that we're better together.” (12:09) Chris talked about how everyone of us have something good to give the world today. He said that we all have these little moments for us to give what we have, and just to say, “Look, it's not much but this is what I have”. And the beauty of that is when a whole bunch of people do that, collectively, it's transformational, and it creates a tidal wave of good that simply cannot be contained. He also discussed about how a community is a bunch of ordinary people choosing to receive the gifts we have with open hands, and how we are also giving the gifts back with the same open hands. He encourages us to give what we have a little bit every day, and trust that over time, the impact of that is going to be greater than we could ever imagine. BIG IDEA 2 “What we lack is courageous leaders.  I really believe there's this beautiful opportunity to find courageous leaders as the world is desperate of them. ” (17:26) Chris shared that based on his experience, if you've got a well thought out, sincere, life changing, life altering sort of idea and you're willing to sacrifice for it, people are going to line up behind you because we're all hungry to be part of something bigger than ourselves. We have this deep yearning of our lives to matter. We want to do stuff that matters. And that cuts across all socio-economic status and education level and age. He advised to do the right thing and find that things that you know and chase it like a dog chases a tennis ball, and look behind you, you'll see a bunch of people following behind you. He added that people are so gracious, especially when you're vulnerable, transparent, and honest about what you're learning and how you're growing and how you're improving. BIG IDEA 3 “At some point, you have to ask if the things you're sharing and the ways you're communicating and the choices you're making and the messages you are creating about, is really resonating with people.” (26:55) Chris said that on social media, vanity metrics are fine. But at the end of the day, as an author, speaker, and as somebody who really wants to make a difference in the world, it's when people start coming to him and saying, that something he wrote mattered enough that it was changing behaviors in their life, for him, that's the greatest gift anybody can give. He thinks that if we listen carefully, people will tell us if the things we're doing are making an impact. We'll be able to tell in the ways people look at us. If they're waiting for us, if they're listening to us, if they're wanting us to weigh in on hard topics, because they value our voice, those are...

14 minutes. That's 1% of your day. What if just that 1% was dedicated to doing “good?” That's exactly what Chris Field has done and is trying to encourage others to join him. In this episode, I spoke with Chris about his journey to start the Mercy Project, a non-profit aimed at eradicating child slavery in Ghana and how he tries to focus on the compassion, courage, and creativity we all have in us to do good in the world.

In this episode of the Active Texan podcast we sit down with author Chris Field. Chris has run over 20 marathons and started the BCS marathon here in Bryan/College Station. Chris also founded the Mercy Project nonprofit which helps rescue children from slavery and trafficking in Ghana, Africa. He has written two books, Disruption for Good and A Billion Hours of Good both giving you the path to become a disrupter and how to cause the most impact for good. This inspirational high achiever has many stories as an awesome active Texan. Enjoy!

Episode 91 – Chris Field Today's guest is Chris Field. I don't even know where to start with Chris. He is so many things and fulfills so many roles. He's a husband, father, runner, race director, author, non-profit director, and on and on. Basically, though, he's a doer. He fills needs. He shows up. He takes action. In this episode, we talk about Chris's new book: A Billion Hours of Good. I read the book right before it launched and it is a life changer. Chris explains how you do not need all your ducks in a row before you decide to do good and bring change to your community. You just need one percent of your day and whatever skills and resources you already have. With his book, you'll learn how to grow compassion, find courage, and ignite your creativity.   When you're done with this episode, I strongly encourage you to read A Billion Hours of Good. I have a link to the listing on Amazon in my show notes. I also have a link to Chris's Facebook page and the non-profit he founded, the Mercy Project.   This episode is sponsored by Ucan.   Show Notes:   Buy A Billion Hours of Good Follow Chris Field on Facebook The Mercy Project Donate to Team Our Lady of the Angels 2021 UCAN (use code INASKIRT2020 for 15% off your order)   Follow In A Skirt:   In A Skirt Website In A Skirt on Facebook In A Skirt on Instagram In A Skirt on Twitter

Are you looking for your confidence and clarity to do the things that you value the most? Are you struggling to find time or money to show up and make a difference? Chris Field and Lantz Howard dive into a conversation about changing your world and why we need to see failure as an opportunity. Chris is the Founder of MercyProject.net and author of the new book A Billion Hours of Good: How to Change Your World 14 Minutes at a Time. Chris was adrift, depressed, and gaining weight when he realized that he was not living in alignment with his best gifts. Since that time Chris and Mercy Project have rescued and reintegrated 181 child slaves from Ghana, Africa. Chris debunks the myth about why we don't give up our time and money more often in order to show up in the world and make a difference. Grab a copy of the book and begin to clarify your best YES so you can say no to the noise and gluttony that modern life offers. You are a champion and others need your presence to offer hope. "A billion hours is equivalent to 114,000 years. That's how much good we're going to do together. Just 14 minutes at a time. You don't need more money, or time, or even another election cycle to bring transformational change to your community. What you need is to believe that daily microdoses of good over years and years can create a great return. Stop waiting for the big change moment and seize the good that you can do today. Join Chris in pledging 1 percent of your time (14 minutes a day) to make the world a better place. Learn how to solve old problems in new ways, and walk with Chris as he shows you how he started Mercy Project-a nonprofit committed to ending child trafficking in Ghana. See how compassion and care can serve as rocket fuel for deep courage and untapped creativity. Our responsibility in a world filled with suffering is to care, show up, and act. Not once, not twice, but a little bit every day for the rest of our lives. Accept this invitation and join a global movement for extraordinary good. Impossible alone. Transformational together." Wow. This book came at just the right time for me. In fact, it is probably just the right time for our world. I found myself smiling and nodding as I quickly turned page after page. Chris Field inspires through excellent story-telling but also provides a practical blueprint for us all to follow to create A Billion Hours of Good 14 minutes at a time. I want to share this book with everyone. ―Terri Dorsey, Director of Executive Development, Boys & Girls Clubs of America In A Billion Hours of Good, Chris pilots a metaphorical lawnmower. He clears a path by anticipating excuses and mowing them over. Chris started with my heart and then nimbly made his way into the part of my brain that too easily generates retorts-and in that very spot he worked his magic. Using pragmatism and relatable stories, Chris showed me I am capable of doing hard things, motivated me to do hard things, and helped me believe in my ability to make a meaningful impact in the world-in just 14 minutes a day. ―Corey Oliver, Former Senior HR leader at Nike and Deloitte -- You can find out more about Lantz Howard at ChampionHope.com and schedule your free Ask Lantz Anything at ChampionHope.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/champion-hope/support

My guest this time is Chris Field. Listen now and see what it's like to be the founder of a non–profit!

How to tell a great story and help audiences are two of the strongest skills a speaker can have in their repetoire, and someone who knows full well how to do both is Chris Field.

On today's episode of The Speaker Lab, Chris tells us why disruption can actually be a good thing, how the pandemic has shifted his business and how he made the adjustment, and why it's cool to be in several industries. Join us to hear that and more on the 321st edition of The Speaker Lab! THE FINER DETAILS OF THIS SHOW: What to do if you have the potential, but need a plan.

Moreover, the guests chat about how much the project made students consider their institutional position as their performances were paired with performances from students all over the country. How did the institutions/administration respond to the project? How do you manage a variety of views and interpretations coming from the students while still needing to impose a coherent theme? What were some of the more important and significant staging choices these students made in making the text resonate with them and their communities?Joining Geoff this time are Vanessa Corredera (Andrews University), Ruben Espinosa (University of Texas El Paso), Katherine Gillen (Texas A&M - San Antonio), and Katheryn Vomero Santos (Trinity University).

An Exclusive Interview with Sister Helen Prejean is the Topic of our Booth One Podcast this Week. Sister Helen is in town in support of the Quality of Mercy Project, a three-month public programming initiative examining the complex issues that arise from the production of Dead Man Walking: forgiveness, compassion, the death penalty, mass incarceration, racial inequality, and social injustice. We are pleased she agreed to spend some time talking to us in our studio. Read more here. Sister Helen Prejean (born in Baton Rouge, LA) is a Roman Catholic nun, a member of the Congregation of St. Joseph and a leading American advocate for the abolition of the death penalty. Her efforts began in New Orleans, Louisiana. In 1982 a friend asked her to correspond with convicted murderer Elmo Patrick Sonnier, located in the Louisiana State Penitentiary. Sonnier was sentenced to death by electrocution. She visited Sonnier in prison and agreed to be his spiritual adviser in the months leading up to his execution. The experience gave Prejean greater insight into the process involved in executions, and she began speaking out against capital punishment. Prejean has since ministered to many other inmates on death row and witnessed several more executions. Her subsequent book Dead Man Walking, a biographical account of her relationship with Sonnier and other inmates on death row, served as the basis for a feature film, an opera, and a play. In the film, Sister Helen was portrayed by Susan Sarandon, who won an Academy Award for her performance. Also starring Sean Penn. Although Prejean herself was uncredited, she made a minor cameo as a woman in a candlelit vigil scene outside Louisiana State Penitentiary. Prejean's second book, The Death of Innocents: An Eyewitness Account of Wrongful Executions read more here was published in December 2004. In it, she tells the story of two men whom she accompanied to their executions. She believes that both men were innocent. The book also examines the recent history of death penalty decisions. Here is an important one: Glossip v Gross. In this episode we learn more about Sister Helen's extraordinary efforts in this cause and a few things about the remarkable person who is Sister Helen as well. Joining us in the studio is Leslie Brown, the Executive Director of the Piven Theatre Workshop right here in Evanston, IL, where a production of Dead Man Walking is being presented from April 16 - May 15, 2016. We hope you find our interview informative, thought-provoking and enjoyable. Sister Helen is truly a force of nature! The quality of mercy is not strain'd, It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven Upon the place beneath: it is twice blest; It blesseth him that gives and him that takes: 'Tis mightiest in the mightiest: it becomes The throned monarch better than his crown; His sceptre shows the force of temporal power, The attribute to awe and majesty. -The Merchant of Venice, Act 4, Scene 1 For more information on the Quality of Mercy Project and the Piven Theatre's production of Dead Man Walking, go to Piven Theatre Workshop at http://www.piventheatre.org.
