 Chris Williams

Welcome to Unmuted—where real men reclaim their voice, their values, and their vision.

I’m Chris Williams husband, father, former corporate leader turned digital entrepreneur. After 18 years in the system, I was laid off and left to rebuild my life, my marriage, and my mission from the ground up. What started as a breakdown became a breakthrough and now I’m here to help you do the same.

This is not another surface-level success podcast.

Every week, we get real about the hard stuff.

✅ Leading a blended family

✅ Building a business from scratch

✅ Navigating faith in uncertain times

✅ Redefining manhood without losing your soul


If you’re a Gen X or Millennial man in your 30s to 50s trying to lead well, live fully, and build a legacy you’re in the right place.


Expect honest conversations, unfiltered stories, and practical tools to help you get clear, stay grounded, and speak life even when life gets loud.


🎧 Subscribe, share, and step into your next chapter.

It’s time to stop shrinking and start showing up.
