Customer Reviews
Extraordinary
I love Blaxit Global! I came across this podcast while in the pre-departure phase of my journey. After listening to the first episode I felt encouraged and motivated. I binged all of the episodes. I’d listen in the car, while washing the dishes and packing up my apartment. It gave me that extra push and confirmation that I was making the right choice.
You will hear amazing stories from guest of all ages, backgrounds and professions. I’m grateful for the necessary and wonderful work that Chrishan Wright and the Blaxit Global community are doing.
Conversations that Need to Be Heard
Chrishan is a master interviewer and she has curated incredible guests who live all around the world and have super valuable tips, advice and reflections to share. The interviews are not only fun and inspiring, but Chrishan steers the discussion into really substantive topics and facilitates the conversations that need to be heard.
The BEST
This is a podcast I didn’t know that I needed. When living life, you get these whisperings from God to push further, learn more and be more. This podcast was one of the tools I believe God sent me to imagine my life bigger, larger and bolder. Chrishan has such a beautiful energy full of ease, authenticity and love. She has inspired me to make my Blaxit this year and I don’t think it would have been such a clear process and decision had it not been for this podcast. She is truly a class act! Please listen!
