In this episode, I sit down with Chris Avery, coach and founder of Chris Runs America, to talk about faith, execution, identity, and what it actually takes to live up to your potential.
Chris shares his journey through addiction, trauma, and years of living below his capabilities — and how he rebuilt his life through faith, discipline, and taking relentless action. We dive deep into why most people aren’t lazy or broken, how the central nervous system controls decision-making, and why clarity often comes after action, not before it.
We also explore Chris’s multi-year running streak and his upcoming plan to run the perimeter of the United States — not as a flex, but as a living example of consistency, alignment, and long-term thinking.
This episode is about doing the ordinary extra, closing the loop on uncertainty, and becoming the person you’re capable of being — one small step at a time.
