Chris Baréz Brown

“You don't have to go to Machu Picchu to have a breakthrough.”

Best selling author, speaker, and business beatnik Chris Baréz Brown has a rather unusual view of the world in that he knows that everybody is perfect.

As we grow, develop and socialise we can lose touch with that brilliance and often become somebody we’re not. Chris founded his Dorset based company Upping Your Elvis in 2009 to help people reconnect with their inner genius and once again become confident in being who they truly are.

He's also the founder of tech start-up Talk It Out, a business designed to put a dent into global suffering by helping people develop positive mental and emotional wellbeing, for free.

The Guardian recently described Chris as a long-haired, twinkly-eyed cross between Richard Branson and a wizard.
