About this listen

In this heart breaking episode, Antonio Vaglica sits down with Chris Welton for a conversation about resilience, grief, and purpose.Chris opens up about being born with one arm due to his mother’s addiction, the moment he realized he was “different,” and the people who helped shape his belief that his story could become his strength. He then shares the heartbreaking loss of his son CJ, what the grieving process really looked like behind closed doors, and how his faith and family helped him move forward without pretending it didn’t hurt.From tragedy to fatherhood again, Chris also breaks down the mindset he calls the “adversity accelerator,” why he intentionally does hard things, and how he built a business around his family instead of building his family around business. This is a real conversation about what it means to keep going, even when life doesn’t make sense.
