Chris Griffin: What Happens When You Speak Your Truth Online
Back in May, Chris Griffins lost $30k in brand deals, in just four days, because of a reel he uploaded weeks earlier. The video? A statement about money, providership, and what he believes a man’s role is in a relationship. Watch it here. It was picked up by a major Australian podcaster, stitched and shared, and suddenly… the country turned on him. Thousands of hate messages. News articles. Debates on The Project. And yet, Chris says it was the calmest he’s ever felt. So why did I bring him on the podcast? Because women in my world are tired. We’ve built the businesses. Been the providers… and we’re proud of it. But so many of us are quietly asking: “Do I still want to be the one carrying it all?” This episode isn’t about picking sides in an online debate. It’s about what happens when someone speaks a hard truth out loud and what it takes to stay in your integrity - even when people don’t like it. In this raw and completely unfiltered conversation, we dive into: How to stay grounded and clear when the internet is tearing you apart The pattern Chris saw in EVERY message he received about the reel (and what he noticed about the women who reacted most strongly) What real safety in a relationship looks like, for BOTH partners Why being neutral or “nice” online might be keeping you invisible… and what to do if you actually want people to care The unexpected reason high achievers struggle to hold onto wealth How Chris reframes “losing everything” as the best thing that ever happened And the mindset that has helped Chris become completely unshakeable. Prefer YouTube? Watch here. I get SO lit up by every single conversation I have with my community. 💜 If you loved this episode, screenshot it, tag me, and come and say hi on Instagram @rebecca.antonucci
