About this episode
In Part 3 of this series, narrative strategist Chris Hare leaves us with a gift: the tools to take control of our own stories. Whether it’s envisioning your future in a quiet theater, asking loved ones for feedback through a meaningful 360, or identifying the patterns that shaped your past, Chris’s methods are built for reflection and action. This isn’t productivity advice or LinkedIn bait—it’s practical wisdom for designing a story you can live with. For Gen Xers rethinking legacy, reinvention, and what success actually looks like, this episode is a toolkit with a soul. >>The Movie Theater Exercise “What would your life movie look like if it played tomorrow in an empty theater?” Chris walks us through a powerful future-visioning tool: a quiet, internal exercise that helps you feel the trajectory of your life—and decide if it’s headed where you want. >>The Real 360 “Ask people who love you: what’s my superpower?” Chris explains how to gather stories and values from people who know you best—not for a performance review, but for a pattern breakthrough. >>How One Story Sparked a LinkedIn Flood “A fighter pilot shared his lowest moment. Hundreds told him who he really was.” Chris shares how a client’s vulnerable storytelling post turned into a cascade of unseen feedback—proving that the stories we live often matter more than we realize. >>Inputs, Not Absolutes “Be careful—feedback reflects the version of you people saw, not who you’re becoming.” Chris and Vince dig into the risks of misaligned input, and why choosing a diverse , thoughtful , and intentional group for feedback is everything. >>Why Machines Can’t Replace Meaning “If AI read our transcript, it’d miss the one moment that mattered.” Chris explains why storytelling—and coaching—can’t be fully automated. Because the spark is often in the tone, the pause, the shift. And only humans catch that. _____________________ Connect with us: Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Chris Hare --Chief Change Officer-- Change Ambitiously. Outgrow Yourself.
