Season 3 ep. 88 | Brian Miller The Art of Powerful Communication

In this episode of One Hand at a Time, Chris Welton sits down with Brian Miller for a deep dive into the art of communication, storytelling, and delivering speeches that truly make an impact. Brian shares his approach to becoming a more effective speaker, exploring the frameworks and strategies that can help speakers take an idea and turn it into a message that connects with an audience. Chris and Brian discuss why great communication isn't simply about having something important to say—it's about knowing how to deliver it in a way people can understand, remember, and act on. The conversation also tackles an important topic for anyone who uses personal stories in their presentations: how to share vulnerability without trauma dumping. Brian explains the difference between telling a story for the benefit of the audience and simply unloading personal experiences, emphasizing the importance of having intention behind every story you tell. They also explore how speakers can measure their success. Is it the size of the audience, the applause, the number of bookings, or something deeper? Chris and Brian discuss why impactful speaking should ultimately be measured by the change you create in the people listening. Whether you're an experienced keynote speaker, a salesperson, a leader, or simply someone looking to communicate more effectively, this episode provides practical insight into becoming a clearer, more intentional, and more impactful communicator.

Season 3 ep. 87 | Clint Pulver From the Stage to the Skies

In this episode of One Hand at a Time, Chris Welton sits down with Clint Pulver, renowned keynote speaker, author, musician, and helicopter pilot, for an inspiring conversation about perseverance, purpose, and performing at the highest level. Chris and Clint begin by diving deep into Clint's journey as a professional keynote speaker. Clint shares the message he strives to deliver every time he steps on stage, explaining that his goal isn't simply to motivate an audience for an hour—it's to create a lasting impact that inspires people to take action long after the event is over. They also have an honest conversation about confidence, discussing whether even an accomplished speaker like Clint still battles limiting beliefs before stepping in front of thousands of people. Clint reflects on the early days of building his speaking career, revealing that success didn't happen overnight. Behind every keynote was years of repetition, rejection, and relentless persistence. From speaking to small audiences to hearing countless "no's," Clint explains how embracing the process and continuing to improve ultimately opened doors to some of the biggest stages in the world. The conversation then shifts to another incredible chapter of Clint's life—his passion for helicopter aviation. He shares the emotional story of developing a serious eyesight condition at the age of 21, a setback that temporarily grounded his dream of flying. Over years he was able to work through obstacles until he was able to return to the cockpit and continue pursuing his passion. Throughout the episode, Chris and Clint highlight a common theme: adversity doesn't have to define your future. Whether it's rejection in business, fear before stepping on stage, or an unexpected health challenge, the key is to continue moving forward with purpose, resilience, and belief in yourself.

Freestyle Fridays Ep. 21 | Life Happens & Building Your Adversity Backpack

In Episode 21 of Freestyle Fridays, Chris Welton shares an important reminder that everyone needs to hear: life happens. No matter how organized, disciplined, or committed you are, there will be times when plans change unexpectedly. Meetings get canceled, phone calls are missed, Zoom appointments get rescheduled, and commitments have to be adjusted because something outside of anyone's control takes priority. Chris encourages listeners not to automatically take these situations personally or assume they did something wrong. Often, it's not a reflection of you, your business, or your value—it’s simply a reflection of life. People face challenges, emergencies, and unexpected circumstances every day, and understanding that reality can help remove unnecessary stress and frustration. The conversation then shifts to one of Chris’s most impactful concepts: the Adversity Backpack. He revisits the idea that every challenge you've overcome is a receipt proving you're capable of overcoming future obstacles. Chris shares a practical strategy for building that backpack—writing down your daily wins. Whether it's a successful meeting, completing a workout, making a difficult phone call, or overcoming a challenge, every win becomes another receipt you can store away. Then, when adversity inevitably strikes, you don't have to wonder if you're capable. You can look back at your collection of victories and remind yourself that you've already overcome difficult situations before—and you can do it again. This episode is a powerful reminder to give people grace when life gets in the way, while also building a personal record of victories that will help you navigate future challenges with confidence and resilience. Check out Chris Weltons Tedx Talk on the Adversity Backpack! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAq8Smk6aoA If you would like to learn more then please schedule a free coaching call with me, Chris Welton today!  https://calendly.com/chriswelton

Season 3 ep. 82 | Rick Hogle

In this powerful episode of One Hand at a Time, Chris Welton sits down with Rick Hogle to unpack the incredible story of his life—one built on perseverance, resilience, and refusing to let adversity define his future. Rick opens up about becoming a father while still in high school and the overwhelming uncertainty that came with it. Unsure if college was even possible, he found guidance in a high school football coach who saw potential in him long before he saw it in himself. That coach took Rick under his wing, reminding him that his story wasn’t over and helping provide an opportunity to continue his education and play Division II football on scholarship. After college, Rick shares how he bounced from job to job searching for direction until eventually discovering the mortgage industry in 2002—a career path that would change his life. More than two decades later, he’s still thriving in the industry, proving that persistence and adaptability can create long-term success. Throughout the conversation, Chris and Rick discuss how the hardest moments in life often become the moments that shape us the most. Rather than running from adversity, Rick explains how learning to face challenges head-on ultimately made him stronger, more disciplined, and more capable in both business and life. This episode is an inspiring reminder that your current circumstances don’t determine your future, and that sometimes the toughest chapters of life become the foundation for your greatest growth.

One Hand at a Time Podcast | MortgageCon Keynote: Turning Adversity into Advantage

In this special episode of One Hand at a Time, Chris Welton delivers his full MortgageCon keynote speech, bringing a powerful message centered around one core idea: adversity isn’t something to avoid—it’s something to leverage. Chris breaks down his “adversity mindset”, explaining how the challenges we face in both business and life are not roadblocks, but opportunities to grow stronger, wiser, and more resilient. Instead of running from difficulty, he encourages listeners to lean into it, learn from it, and use it as fuel for future success. A standout concept from the keynote is Chris’s “Adversity Backpack.” He describes it as a mental collection of “receipts”—real-life experiences where he’s faced hardship and found a way through. Each time a new challenge arises, he reaches into that backpack and reminds himself: “I’ve been here before. I’ve overcome before. I can do it again.” This framework becomes a powerful tool for building confidence, reinforcing belief, and eliminating the fear that often comes with uncertainty. Throughout the episode, Chris challenges listeners to start building their own adversity backpack—documenting their wins, lessons, and breakthroughs so they’re prepared for whatever comes next. This keynote is a high-impact message on resilience, mindset, and personal growth—perfect for anyone ready to stop avoiding adversity and start using it as their greatest advantage.
