Chris Williamson is a club promoter, TEDx Speaker, YouTuber and Podcaster. His podcast 'Modern Wisdom' shares life lessons from the smartest people on the planet including the likes of Jordan Peterson, Ryan Holiday and James Clear and was born out of Chris' curiosity for self-discovery and post his existential crisis after appearing on Love Island. In the episode Chris tells Ali how he shed the party-boy persona in favour of intellect and meaning before discussing topics like masculinity, role models and the dating market.
