In today’s episode, I speak with Chris Robinson. After working for a large, corporate firm for nearly 8 years, Chris decided to take the leap and start his own company. When the business doors opened in 2010, the company experienced immediate and considerable success, but with this success came negative side effects. Chris was constantly battling feelings of discomfort, anxiety, and stress, in perpetual search of ways to “take the edge off”. These feelings began to change after opening his mind to new ideas about the nature of thought. Chris shares his personal journey with state of mind, ego, hustle, and insecure thinking, and why this new understanding has been a true “game-changer”, both in and outside of business.

A native San Diegan who grew up in La Jolla, Chris Robinson has exemplified himself as a true businessman in the field of commercial real estate with 16 years of active client representation. Chris grew up around the apartment business and dove head first into brokerage at age 22, after graduating from UC Santa Barbara where he studied Economics. Chris is the co-founder of ACRE, a commercial real estate company. He is currently working with a number of San Diego apartment investors who are looking to cash out, facilitate an exchange or expand their portfolios. In his free time, Chris enjoys practicing meditation and yoga, spending time with family and friends, surfing his favorite beaches and traveling to new destinations. Chris lives by the motto “high state of mind business & life!”
