From Rock Bottom to $1 Billion Under Management | Chris Christofi

What does it take to lead with joy, grit, and zero ego—even when life tries to crush you?

Chris Christofi has built an empire from the ground up. But it’s not the hustle that defines him—it’s the heart. In this episode of Naked at the Top, Chris shares how being fired, losing it all, and even getting banned from motorcycles taught him everything he needed to know about leadership, humility, and human connection.

This conversation dives into what culture really means (hint: it’s not ping pong tables), how trust changes everything, and why fun isn’t just a bonus—it’s necessary for performance. Chris tells raw, hilarious, and inspiring stories from his journey, including being recognised by a homeless man, cleaning his own office mess, and the unexpected legacy that now guides his every move.

If you're a founder, a people leader, or someone who’s trying to build something real—you need this episode. It’s a roadmap for leading with both steel and softness. And it will make you laugh, think, and maybe even change how you show up at work.
