Description

Ever feel like life hits you with everything all at once? Well, in this week’s episode of Hat to CEO, Chris G makes it as real and raw as it gets. He shares a week that tested every nerve. From a granddaughter’s broken arm and a daughter’s scary hospital visit to work chaos, missed meetings, and even losing a right-hand teammate. But instead of crumbling, he leans into prayer, sunshine, barefoot walks, sesame oil, and a good ol' Dale Carnegie book. With honesty, humor, and heart, he breaks down what stress really is, how it sneaks into our lives, and simple ways to push through it. Whether you're running a business or running on empty, this one's for you.
