Do you ever feel like something’s missing, despite having a portfolio full of great work?

You’re not alone.

Chris Goor has filmed some of the world’s biggest moments from the headline stage at Glastonbury to Usain Bolt breaking world records.

But behind the camera, something felt off.

Chris had built a successful career, but couldn’t shake the feeling that it wasn’t giving him purpose anymore and 12 hour days, 7 days a week were leaving him at breaking point.

So Chris decided to experiment and made a shift out of the world he knew, building a personal brand with a following of over 100,000 people, where he helps others find their purpose through content creation.

And in this episode, Chris shares how he was able to make the leap and find success.

If you ever feel stuck doing work that doesn’t fulfil you, this is for you.

Covered in this episode:

  • How to know when it’s time to make a shift.
  • The first steps to moving towards something more purposeful.
  • How to build a following online without chasing trends.
  • Why your LinkedIn posts are being ignored.
  • Overcoming the perfectionism holding creatives back.
  • The key to turning followers into clients that’s often overlooked.
  • How to move away from work that no longer serves you.
  • And more…

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
