EP068: Developing Emotional Vulnerability In Relationships w/ Chris Stoikos (Important For Men!!)

This is an episode inside of an episode. Late 2021, Daniel and Chris Stoikos sat down to record 5 pilot episodes for a new podcast concept called The Gift of The Gap. In this episode, you’ll hear one of those recordings between Daniel and Chris.

Chris Stoikos is an exquisite human and brilliant serial entrepreneur with multiple successful exits under his belt, including Coolbox and The Beard Club.

We are all creators, but it’s easy to lose touch with that ability in our daily lives.
