About this listen
Chris grew up in Queens, New York, in a household led by immigrant parents—both doctors—who encouraged him and his brother to follow traditional paths. But Chris had other ideas. His first bold pivot came in college, when he left pre-med to study music composition, turning a lifelong passion into a creative career.
After working as a freelance composer, Chris realized that while the work was fulfilling, it wasn’t financially sustainable. He pivoted again, earning a master’s in acoustic engineering to stay close to the world of sound while securing a more stable income. It’s a path he often recommends to those who want to remain in the music industry but also seek financial security. But for Chris, something still didn’t feel right. He taught himself to code and transitioned into tech—building a successful career in data, which he enjoyed for several years. But during the pandemic, everything shifted. Sitting in his office one day, he realized he had become good at something he no longer loved. Once again at a crossroads, Chris decided to bet on himself.
In 2023, he launched The Hidden Speaker, a company born from both risk and experience. His first music business had failed, but this time he identified a real and growing need in the professional world: communication. From storytelling to data delivery, Chris helps organizations present ideas with clarity, confidence, and heart. Through workshops, consulting, and TEDx talks, he now empowers others to find their voice—and use it to make an impact.
In this episode, Chris takes us through the rollercoaster of reinvention—from creative dreams to data science, tough choices to personal clarity. It’s a story about risk, resilience, and redefining success on your own terms.
