"They're selling you slavery as freedom." Great quote! Great interview. This guy has a lot of great insight and I hope this one gets a lot of views! These are important messages for society.

Any man who knows how to control his sexual urges has mastered 90% of his problems.

33:43 "We live in a society now that is more permissive of everybody's vices than it's ever been, and everybody's f**** miserable." Wow, what a line.

As a psychologist I can say this is one of the most appreciated and necessary interviews I’ve watched. Thank you.

This was a great interview. I worked in that industry as a makeup & hairstylist for a few “big names” back in the day and I would see the talent come in bubbly eyed and ready, few months later … sucked out and dead inside. I’m glad he shared his insight because a lot of it is true

When I saw the title of this video and started watching, I never expected to hear one of the most insightful discussions of freedom and modern society I've ever heard.

I worked at a porn “talent” agency about 10 years ago as a driver and I can tell you some girls were delusional af bcuz they were sold a pipe dream by these talent agents,saying your going to make a lot of money and become a star,live in Los Angeles and party it up but in reality some these girls starting pay was 600 per scene and they have to pay they’re agents 15 percent of their salary then they were paying 50 to 60 dollars to stay in the “model homes” bcuz most these girls are from out of state and come from small towns that really have nothing to do. All pornography is legalized prostitution that hides behind a business license.

"Selling you slavery as freedom" hit the mark

34:30 "Sin are those actions that separate you from your highest conception of yourself". This man is definitely not what I expected upon seeing the thumbnail. He's most likely in recovery himself. Normies don't talk like this, or rarely talk like this. Fascinating discussion. Thank you.

“Money is an amplifier.” Excellent insight.

What a wise dude - so refreshing to see sober people on this channel who’ve escaped the dark side. It can be so heavy watching people self destruct and in pain. Even though it’s so educational and impt to understand all walks of life

@JohnHadley13 11 months ago

Fantastic interview, this is why I’m here. He’s not trying to sell a book. Not trying to make a name for himself. Just telling his honest thoughts

"True freedom is not freedom to sin, but freedom from sin". I really like that - it summarizes it in a very effective way.

Fathers needing to have strong relationships with their daughters should be a clear takeaway

This is a PHENOMENAL interview. Chris, thank you so much for sharing your insights. I could have listened to you for another hour.

@lauralush23 11 months ago

Didn't expect to hear such wisdom from someone who worked in the adult industry yet it's probably one of the best interviews to listen to for those who think highly of this kind of work and life.

I loved this interview. It really hits close to home. My son was involved in that industry and he went on a downward spiral and got addicted to meth and heroine for more than 10 years. He has been clean for over 4 years now and still is struggling with depression.
