What would it take for you to walk away from a 25-year career?
In this episode, Chris Turner shares the moment that changed everything—taking him from a successful career in architecture and commercial real estate to becoming a full-time abstract artist.
This wasn’t strategy.This wasn’t a plan.It was a moment.
After hitting rock bottom, Chris had an encounter that redirected his entire life. What followed was a path of faith, creativity, and stepping far outside his comfort zone.
One line stuck with us:
“The canvas starts talking to me.”
If you’ve felt stuck…If you know there’s more…If something’s been pulling on you and you can’t explain it…
This conversation will hit.
