Instead of a traditional bio, I asked ChatGPT: "If I were a font, which one would I be?"

The response?

Chris, you’d be Bebas Neue—a bold, confident, slightly unconventional font that still maintains clarity and professionalism. It represents your entrepreneurial mindset, rock-and-roll edge, deep faith, and your ability to balance fun with strategic leadership.
That sums me up well. I don’t fit neatly into a box—I’m an entrepreneur, a musician, a writer, and a teacher. But at my core, I help people innovate, sell, and grow by blending real-world experience with a practical, no-nonsense approach.

Why Hire Me?

Some speakers build their careers by talking about… their speaking careers.
I’m different.

Everything I share comes from real experience—hard-earned lessons from building businesses, making thousands of sales calls, and leading high-growth teams. When I get on stage, I don’t deliver theories. I deliver what works—because I’ve lived it.

Two Numbers That Changed My Life

1. 5,000 Cold Calls
Fresh out of college, I had no marketable skills. My degree in History and Museum Studies wasn’t exactly in high demand. My newlywed wife and I needed to eat, so I decided: I was going to learn how to sell.I took a job selling life insurance. I was terrible. My first-year earnings: $2,163.72. (Yes, I counted the decimals.) I knew I had to do something different, so I focused on mastering cold calling—because most people hated it, which made it valuable. After bouncing between six companies in five years, I finally committed. I took a job at a startup—just me and two other guys working in a bonus room. That year, I made 5,000 cold calls.

2. 9,000 Pitches
Over the years, I’ve pitched AP automation technology 9,000 times. Not because I have a special gift—because I’ve done it repeatedly. Of those 9,000 pitches, 1,200 turned into business. The other 7,800? Most people would call them failures. I call them education.
Here’s my definition of failure: Failure is making the same stupid mistake twice.
