- How Cris’s struggles with his health led to a deep episode of clinical depression, how he battled within himself to overcome this and how he was able to see a way forward
- How he made the difficult decision to leave a stable career to pursue his passion, and how this has made him feel
- Cris’s views on people and why it’s so important that we connect with one another, stopping and appreciating what we have in life
- How a lack of self-esteem is now a thing of the past for Cris and how being ill has enabled his journey to self-acceptance, so that he can now embrace his fears and take risks.
