Chris Colbert was the Managing Director at the Harvard Innovations Labs. His responsibilities included working with team members to help guide both students and alumni to pursue their interests in many forms of innovation and business. He left in 2019 to start a global innovation consulting firm called One Eighty. Chris is also an inspirational speaker, strategic advisor, and author of the soon-to-be-published book, This is it: How to Innovate the Only Life You Get.

 

Chris joins me today to describe how his life changed when he decided to learn more about himself. He shares his story before seeking help from various therapists and explains some of the significant changes in his life ever since he found his truth. Chris also discusses the importance of loving yourself and not needing validation from other people.
