41: Kristoffer Carter: How to Live an An Integrated Life

In this episode, Kristoffer Carter discusses being a devoted yogi and follower of Paramahansa Yogananda, leading his meditation group “The Pause”, the Enneagram and ruthless self understanding, awakening after a stress related illness, the importance of living the integrated life, and his work at Camp Good Life Project with Jonathan Fields.
“We are here to express as much as we can, as much as people can handle, as much as we can contribute, as much as we can serve others. We’re doing ourselves and every one else a disservice when we stay small.” -Kristoffer Carter

About Kristoffer Carter

In his words:

My name is Kristoffer Carter. My friends call me KC.

I help others create their deepest possible impact.

Specifically…

I give myself, and everyone around me permission to Glow In The Dark.
And I build tools to help entrepreneurs do that for others.

In my youth, I burned all my candles at all ends. Kind of a “wax menorah” approach to life. This put me on the path toward what I call Full Life Integration.

I designed and released a multimedia manifesto called The Framework that breaks down this process. It’s free. You should grab it. I’ve also interviewed a few of my heroes (Ani DiFranco, Jonathan Fields) on my iTunes podcast.

I recently launched a mindfulness & meditation program called THE PAUSE for our company Centro, a digital media firm headquartered in Chicago with 34 offices across North America. By day, I oversee Sales Education & Development for one of the best and brightest sales organizations in the digital media industry.

Centro has been named the #1 Best Place to Work in Chicago by Crains Business for the last 4 consecutive years, as well as the#1 Best Place to Work by Fortune Magazine & Advertising Age. I am an outspoken advocate of mindfulness in business, a Kriyaban Yogi (Self Realization Fellowship), a husband and Father of 3, a marathoner, and multi-instrumentalist since childhood.
