Forming New Intellectually Engaging Friendships

I hit 4.1 million Subscribers on YouTube!!

To celebrate, I asked for questions from YouTube, X, and Instagram, so here’s another 90ish minutes of me trying to answer as many as possible.

Expect to learn if Chris ever tried the Carnivore Diet, advice for feeling lost in life, if being sober is really worth it in the long run, the current state of Chris’ health issues, the biggest issues with hustle culture, if there really is a secret forearm routine, if and when Chris will write a book and much more...
