We recently had the chance to connect with Christopher Hunter and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Christopher, thank you for taking the time to reflect back on your journey with us. I think our readers are in for a real treat. There is so much we can all learn from each other and so thank you again for opening up with us. Let’s get into it: What do the first 90 minutes of your day look like?
When I wake up, my day starts at 4:30 a.m. sharp. The first 90 minutes are sacred because they set the tone for everything I do. I start with prayer and meditation to ground myself, then I move into stretching and yoga to open up my body. After that, I get into my workout to wake up my energy and sharpen my discipline. Once I’m centered physically, I shift into feeding my spirit and mind—I go through my daily decrees and affirmations, I listen to a sermon for spiritual growth, then I lock in with some motivational audio. To close out that first block of time, I watch sales training videos so I’m mentally locked in and ready for success.
That 90 minutes is like my personal launch pad—it balances me spiritually, mentally, and physically. By the time I’m finished, I’m in alignment and focused, and the rest of my day is already won before it even begins.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I’m Christopher Hunter, a motivational speaker, sales professional, and the founder of The Spirit Guide. My story is rooted in growth, resilience, and the belief that mindset is everything. By day, I work in sales at Club Wyndham, where I help families create lifelong memories through travel. But beyond that, I’m building an empowering empire that reaches people locally and globally through speaking, wellness, and personal development.
What makes my brand unique is that it’s not just about business—it’s about transformation. The Spirit Guide is about motivating people to unlock the best version of themselves, whether that’s through my talks, my content, or the platforms I’m building. I’m currently working on expanding into new ventures like MAKE Wellness, viral social media content, and programs designed to inspire single mothers and young people to rise above their circumstances.
At the core, everything I do is about impact. My goal isn’t just success for myself—it’s creating a blueprint that others can follow to achieve their own. I like to say I’m not just chasing dreams; I’m building legacies.
Appreciate your sharing that. Let’s talk about your life, growing up and some of topics and learnings around that. What’s a moment that really shaped how you see the world?
A moment that really shaped how I see the world was during a season when I was working overnight shifts. One night, I found myself sitting there asking the question, “Who am I?” That question hit me so deeply that I ended up quitting that very night. From there, I started researching and diving into modern history. That journey opened the door to a lot of “conspiracy vlogs and videos” at the time, which made me aware—earlier than most—of the psychological games being played on society.
That awareness changed everything. It taught me to look deeper than the surface, to question things, and to understand how influence and perception shape reality. And from there I realized something powerful: sales is the secret to wealth. Sales isn’t just about products or services—it’s about communication, connection, and influence. That moment pushed me to step into a path where I could build not just a career, but a mission to empower others with awareness, confidence, and the tools to transform their lives.
What have been the defining wounds of your life—and how have you healed them?
The defining wounds of my life are what shaped me into who I am today. Losing my grandmother right before finishing high school left a mark on me, because I had to step into adulthood without one of the people who believed in me the most. Learning to live on my own as a man taught me resilience, responsibility, and how to carry myself even when no one else was around to guide me.
I’ve faced near-death moments too, like breaking my neck in a wreck and getting shot by my ex-fiancé. Both of those experiences humbled me and made me value life on a much deeper level. I’ve also been betrayed by people I thought loved me, and losing people I cared for showed me the truth about loyalty, trust, and the importance of choosing the right circle.
Even with business, I’ve felt the hardships of failing, starting over, and struggling to get things off the ground. But those struggles are what turned me more entrepreneurial in life overall. I learned that every setback was just preparation for a comeback.
The way I’ve healed is by choosing growth over bitterness, by using pain as fuel, and by reminding myself that I’m here for a bigger purpose. Those wounds gave me my wisdom, my drive, and my vision. That’s why I can stand today, not just as someone who survived, but as someone who leads.
I think our readers would appreciate hearing more about your values and what you think matters in life and career, etc. So our next question is along those lines. Is the public version of you the real you?
Yes, the public version of me is the real me. I try my best to incorporate my true self into everyday life in every way. I live with full transparency, and while that can be challenging in sales—because companies often want you to become the exact image of their vision—I still believe it’s more powerful to be authentic. At the end of the day, people and companies buy into the real you, not a mask you put on. That’s why I make it a point to show up as myself everywhere I go.
Thank you so much for all of your openness so far. Maybe we can close with a future oriented question. What do you think people will most misunderstand about your legacy?
I think what people may most misunderstand about my legacy is what I truly stood for. It’s not about money over people, and it’s not about material things over the change of heart I try to spark in others. My legacy is about the impact I leave on people—the way I inspire them, uplift them, and push them to see more in themselves.
Of course I value my priorities, but at the core it has never been about what I can get out of a relationship. It’s about what I can give, what I can build inside of others, and the ripple effect that carries long after I’m gone. That’s the heart of my legacy.
