What does it really take to break free from complacency, build a meaningful life, and keep growing through every challenge?

In this episode of What Are You Made Of?, Mike "C-Roc" welcomes Chris Anderson, host of The Upgraded Man podcast and founder of Elevate Media Group, for an inspiring conversation about entrepreneurship, perseverance, personal growth, and what it truly means to become a better man.

Chris shares his journey from working as an athletic trainer to taking a leap of faith, leaving his career behind, and building a successful digital marketing agency. With nearly 580,000 podcast downloads and a growing audience, he reflects on the power of consistency, embracing failure, and staying committed to your vision even when results seem out of reach.

Together, Mike "C-Roc" and Chris explore the lessons learned from building a business, the importance of knowing your value, and why genuine connections matter more than chasing numbers. They also dive into the five pillars of The Upgraded Man—fitness, finances, living fully, relationships, and mindset—and how small, intentional improvements can create lasting change.

Chris also opens up about faith, family, loyalty, and the responsibility of leading by example, reminding us that personal growth isn't about achieving perfection but about showing up, learning from our mistakes, and becoming better every day.

This episode is a powerful reminder that success isn't a destination. It's a journey built on faith, resilience, consistency, and the courage to keep moving forward.

Tune in for an honest and motivating conversation about building a life of purpose, overcoming challenges, and refusing to settle for anything less than your potential.
