About the Host

Chris Chandler-Yates

New Zealand-based men's coach, podcast host, and NLP Masters Practitioner. Seven years as a New Zealand Police officer, including close protection duty.

Redding, California

Born in Redding, California. From thirteen to seventeen, he sailed the world with his family, four years learning that life gets bigger the further you're willing to go.

New Zealand Police

Chris became a New Zealand Police officer, working his way up to close protection duty under real, sustained pressure.

The Breaking Point

Seven years in, burnout and the trauma of the job reached a crisis point in his marriage.

8,000 Miles

With his wife Kristyn's full knowledge, consent, and support, Chris got on a motorcycle and rode from California to Houston and back. Three months. Eight thousand miles. He knew early into the trip that he wanted to stay married. What he needed first was to do the inner work.

Coming Home

He came home. He and Kristyn have kept doing the work, individually and together, ever since. They never separated.

“The program exists so other men never have to take that trip to find out what they want.”

These days, alongside hosting Motivated Masculine Men, Chris works as a Business Development Manager at Hotel Indigo Auckland.
