We had the good fortune of connecting with Chris Boudreaux and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Chris, what do you attribute your success to?
The ability to keep going when rejection is at its all time high. When your constantly being put down by life or receiving the answer no. That’s when I feel I dig my heels into the ground, an I tell myself “this is the bottom. From here, I can only go up. I will make adjustments in my daily life an push even harder an work even harder. I will work inside out with daily writings, breath work, class. I will push to success. To me that’s the mindset a entrepreneur has to have to be successful. Otherwise you’d be working a 9-5. So when rejection is at your door, don’t say why me, say try me. An go for it.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
When I’m able to connect to a part, that’s when I fall in love with the work. I enjoy building humans on paper and taking them into my soul an walking into the real world with them. To me it sets me free. It allows me to explore so many different lifestyles an situations. Situations that you normally wouldn’t come to experience in life. But in this story, it’s real. It’s happening to you, If you allow it. To me that’s the work. An that’s what I love doing. Being an actor allows me to find the lil things in myself and bringing them out to breathe an live.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I would take him on my roof an do qigong. Then go downstairs to the gym and row 4,000 meters under 16min. Stair master 50min 150 floors.
Then do a cold plunge in the pool. Do breathing exercises in the pool for 30 repetitions of breathe hold an box breathing.
Go on a run to the college and sit up on the hill an listen to the wild. Find the peace in the air.
Then I’d go eat sugar fish. Trust Me meal.
Then go see a instrumental concert at the Hollywood bowl.
Then I’d give him a hug, tell him I miss him/her but I gotta go home an wake up early to do it all again.
I would introduce my friend, to my daily lifestyle of trying to be as present as possible. Through meditation an breath work. I’m able to get rid of stress or need an put me into the flow state of acceptance. It’s my daily practice an what I strive for.
