SOCRS112- Christopher Lewis Cockrille- "Trust is A Key, Hang on to Hope...Be Relentless"

Straight Outta Combat Radio-Honoring Combat Wisdom

My name is Christopher Lewis Cockrille. I am the host of “The Kristof Lewis Podcast”. I was born in the United States of America, growing up at 8,500 feet in a small mountain town in Colorado. I have also been fortunate enough to have lived in Budapest, Hungary where my family is from (where the name “Kristóf” comes from, which my family calls me). I absolutely love traveling and have visited 26 countries which has opened my eyes to many cultures and people of different backgrounds. Currently, I am living in Norfolk, Virginia with my wife, baby girl and Golden Retriever.

I created The Kristof Lewis Podcast in March of 2018, five months before I was honorably discharged from the United States Navy after serving nine years. I currently work in the ‘tech’ sector while I continue to create and build upon the podcast. I have always had a deep desire to help others, and I love speaking with other people that share this passion. I am a huge advocate of self-education, or focused learning, and a growth mindset. I understand that the learning process is different for each person, which is why I love the variety of the guests that I am able to converse with. I dropped out of college and dropped right into self-education, and never looked back.

Too many times in my life, I underestimated myself and set my goals too low. People told me that I would never find a job that I truly enjoyed. Through each Conversation I will show you that it is indeed possible to do what you want in life as long as you’re adding value to others. We can pursue anything we want and we alone are responsible for our success as long as we work hard enough for it. We should not keep what we know and learn to only ourselves.
