In this episode, I sat down with Chris Appleton, Kim Kardashian and J-Lo's hairstylist, to discuss his new book Your Roots Don't Define You. Chris opened up about his journey from England to Hollywood, sharing how he overcame crippling insecurities and lived inauthentically for years—married to a woman while struggling with his identity as a gay man. He explained how he rewrote his book to offer real, tangible advice on silencing your inner critic, surrounding yourself with quality people, and transforming envy into motivation. Chris emphasized that it's never too late to reinvent yourself. We also talked about his work with Kim Kardashian, how he absorbs wisdom from successful people around him, and his creative process for finding hair inspiration.  Timestamps: 00:00:00 - Introduction 00:03:02 Chris On Overcoming Insecurities 00:10:40 Surrounding Yourself with Quality People, The Kardashians 00:15:00 Her Dating App Segment with Amanda Savage 00:32:00 Kim Kardashian’s Favorite Look 00:38:28 Chris’ Dating Update Post Gage Divorce MY Go Big Podcasting Courses Are ON SALE!
