Have you ever struggled to create meaningful connections?
Chris Pan had a very lonely childhood, having moved to the USA when he was only 7 years old, and being unable to speak english yet, he struggled to make friends and connect with people.
This led to a burning desire in his heart to bring spiritual and emotional wellness to those who need it the most. After Chris left college, he was pushed to pursue financial security and status, so he studied at Harvard Business School, worked for Facebook, and retired at 35.
However, he quickly realized that money and status did not offer the fulfillment and love he really wanted.
He then started deep inner work including the MyIntent Project, which has helped millions of people have meaningful connections through finding their intention.
Chris and MyIntent have served everyone from Jay-Z, Beyonce, Rihanna, Melania Trump, Elon Musk, Justin Bieber, Fortune 100 CEOs at McKinsey, Mark Zuckerberg, and has been featured on the cover of Time magazine and a 4-minute segment on the Today Show.
Chris helps connect people from their head to their heart, their purpose, their passion, and their intention.
