When Chris Welton last graced our studio, he was poised at the edge of a corporate cliff, ready to leap into the abyss of coaching and speaking. Now, he returns to the Uncommon Leader podcast, not just surviving the fall, but soaring – his book "One Jordan" has etched its name on the Amazon bestseller list. Welton's journey hasn't been all accolades and achievements, though; it's also been woven with personal trials, including welcoming his son Leo into the world under heart-wrenching circumstances. This episode isn't just about triumphs, but the real, raw connections that make them possible – the kind that Welton has masterfully cultivated and now shares through his touching narrative, insightful coaching, and transformative speaking engagements. Let's pull back the curtain on the often misunderstood world of networking and genuine relationship-building with insights from a man who's seen the power of authentic connections first-hand. Beyond the spotlight of his bestseller and the heartfelt philanthropy at a Make a Wish Foundation event, Welton opens up about tackling the Goliaths of self-doubt and the resilience needed to come out on top. As he recounts his interactions with the likes of David Meltzer, John Gordon, and Coach Michael Burt, you'll see it's not about who you know, but how deeply you connect. Welton's expertise shines as he offers practical strategies for expanding your network with intention, overcoming fear, and letting faith and gratitude guide you to your own legacy of meaningful relationships and lasting impact.
