Episode 119!
Today’s guest is Chris Widener. Years ago, Chris was personally selected and mentored by two of the legends of the speaking and personal development world, Jim Rohn and Zig Ziglar, and he now carries on their legacy. Jim Rohn, known for being Tony Robbins first mentor, made Chris his last protege. Chris and Jim co-authored Jim's book “One Year Success Plan” as well as Jim’s last book, “The Twelve Pillars”, which became an international best-seller. Zig Ziglar, considered to be the greatest motivational speaker of the 20th Century, personally chose Chris to co-host his television show, "True Performance". Along with co-hosting "True Performance", Chris also hosted his own show, Made for Success, where he interviewed some of the top business achievers and thought leaders of our time.
Chris has now given 2,500 speeches all over the world, has been named one of the top 50 speakers in the world and has written 25 books, which have been translated into 14 languages. He is a member of the Motivational Speakers Hall of Fame.
Earlier in his career, Chris was a pastor for 14 years and knows what it is like to be in the trenches fighting for businesses and representing God at the same time. He now leads a weekly group coaching meeting based on the teachings of the book of Proverbs, or as Chris calls it: God’s Little Book For Success!
Tune in to hear Chris's experiences on the world’s biggest stages while keeping God first!
Enjoy!
