I’ve been following Chris’ writing and products for a few years now but a recent post called Moving The Fear Line convinced me that you needed to hear from Chris. I’ve always found Chris to be very humble and also immensely talented so we’re going to talk about FEAR, HUMILITY AND TALENT with Chris. Sound good Chris?

“Rather than let fear dictate our actions we should instead seek to grow our comfort zones and experiences so we are better able to handle situations that come up.

Seth Godin writes a lot about giving yourself permission, when did you give yourself permission to become a blogging authority?
“You have been brainwashed by school and by the system into believing that your job is to do your job and follow instructions. It’s not, not anymore.”
What were the things you did to grow your influence?
“Everyone has a little voice inside of their head that’s angry and afraid. That voice is the resistance—your lizard brain—and it wants you to be average (and safe)”
What were you afraid of when you were first starting your career as a blogger?
What are you afraid of now?
The idea of a Linchpin is someone who is unique and therefore indispensable.
Is there still space in blogging for new Linchpins? New voices?
Who influences you on-line and how do you keep growing when you’re an authority in a given field?
