Where is life asking you to recognize the champion that already lives within you?
Alexander and Viki sit down with Chris Natzke, an 8th degree black belt, former US national taekwondo champion, and founder of Black Belt Leadership Speaking & Coaching. Chris shares how a childhood TV series led him to martial arts, and how his first Korean instructor changed the course of his life with one powerful moment of belief in a struggling 13 year old.
The conversation covers healthy masculinity, his Board Breaking Experience workshop, the concept of conscious persistence, and the compounding power of small daily habits. Chris also opens up about growing up with an alcoholic father, learning to be vulnerable on stage, and the ongoing work of connecting emotionally with the people closest to him.
Chris was born to play the 10♠️ as his Birth Card and the 5♠️ as his Personality Card (10 of Spades / 5 of Spades). Alexander and Viki reflect on how the Spade energy of believing and working hard can show up positively and negatively. They also reflect on the 10 of Spades energy of shining in the spotlight while also needing to create boundaries and rest.
