Building a Business That Supports Your Life with Chris Williams
What would your business look like if it were truly designed to support the life you want to live, not the other way around?
In this episode of the Million Dollar Relationships podcast, host Kevin Thompson speaks with Chris Williams, founder of Group Coach Nation. Chris shares the intentional choices that led him from 12-hour workdays to a 12-hour workweek, all while making a bigger impact and spending more time with his family. The conversation dives into his entrepreneurial journey, the mentors who changed his life, and the framework he teaches coaches and consultants who want to build group coaching programs or masterminds. This episode is a clear look at why the “right relationships” matter—and how aligning your business with your lifestyle can change everything.
