051 Coach Radio: Your Story – Christopher Browning – Overcoming Failure

I really wish Christopher would've told me he was on the show ahead of time, though I'm not sure he knew I listened to this podcast…
I want to highlight that whole part about being in a small church and him sticking around when it's been super tough and super awkward. I think it reflects well on your character when you can stay in the middle of a tough situation like that simply because God told you to (and I'm pretty sure it came down to that for Christopher many times since he moved to St. Louis).
I can also say that many times the best friendships are often the ones with people you aren't sure you can be friends with when you first meet them. I think it goes deeper when you can work through that part of it and figure out you really like that other person after all. That wasn't meant to be a backhanded compliment in any way – just how it came about and I'm glad for his friendship, not to mention his career advice.

Thanks again for showing him off to a larger audience!

Just finished Failing Forward by John Maxwell….great book about people failing big time and coming back, making it to the mountain top
The Upside to Adversity by Os Hilman…..I read this when I was going through my financial meltdown
I highly recommend both books…
Thanks for sharing Chris and Justin……enjoying the content

Thanks Gregg. I have that book on my shelf and I think it's up next.

Agreed. I didn't like many of my best friends when I first met them.

At one point I didn't like myself until a truly met myself. Now I am my own friend. (Thanks Nathanaeal)

That's one thing Christopher has a lot of …character.

Some of the best friendships I have now are ones that started out with me disliking the person. Funny how that works!
