Disruptor Nation, today’s episode pulls no punches, it’s a raw and real conversation about faith, influence, and the soul of a nation.
I’m joined by Chris Widener, bestselling author, global speaker, and one of the last protégés of personal development legends Jim Rohn and Zig Ziglar. Chris has lived at the intersection of business, ministry, and leadership and he’s here to challenge us to think bigger, live bolder, and build our lives (and our country) on something unshakable.
Here’s what we cover in this powerful and purpose-packed conversation:
How Chris went from a turbulent childhood to becoming one of the top speakers in the world
The unlikely journey from pastor to author to Senate candidate and why he returned to ministry
What writing parables taught him about influence, transformation, and legacy
Why no politician is going to save America and what actually will
His perspective on the spiritual decline in society and the Christian revival he sees coming
The role of faith in personal growth, marriage, leadership, and national healing
Lessons learned from his mentors Zig Ziglar and Jim Rohn and how they shaped his mission
How to live a life of bold conviction in a culture that rewards silence
Chris doesn’t just speak about change—he lives it. This episode is a wake-up call to stop waiting, start leading, and build something lasting from the inside out.
