Chris co-founded the music start-up "Jam Connect" in 2016. It offered artists from the urban music scene as well as from the world of classical music the opportunity to collaborate and perform, culminating in a total of 23 concerts over an 18-month period. They created a community, where music managers could discover and meet potential new talent. Within a year this community grew to over 450 musicians, dancers and music industry professionals. This inspired him to expand on the idea: He wanted to create a movement for entrepreneurs and leaders who want to make a difference in the world. A format where ideas can be discussed and developed through active listening and mutual support. In March of 2018 he created the MASTERMIND MOVEMENT organizing twelve exclusive networking events, the "Mastermind Lounges" in his first year. Since then the number of participants has grown steadily. To date, the MASTERMIND MOVEMENT has welcomed over 250 entrepreneurs and executives to their events.
