Chris’s journey into the transformative power of gratitude began with a profound realization inspired by The Adam Carolla Show on his 35th birthday. Reflecting on Adam’s disdain for participation trophies, Chris likened birthday presents to participation trophies – unearned rewards. This insight led him to write a heartfelt letter to his mom, thanking her for her love and sacrifices and pledging to express his love and appreciation more often.

Tragically, his mother passed away from breast cancer just four months later. This loss deepened Chris’s understanding of life’s sacredness and the importance of expressing gratitude. Inspired by the impact of his letter to his mom, Chris wrote a similar letter to his dad the following year, reaffirming his commitment to showing love and appreciation.

To honor his mother’s memory and spread the joy of gratitude, Chris founded GratitudeSpace – a community dedicated to sharing and celebrating gratitude. Today, GratitudeSpace has a social reach of over 10 million, demonstrating the radical power of gratitude to change minds and hearts.

A revolutionary movement to change our world by encouraging radical acts of gratitude.
