Pure Nebraska on 10/11 News
Chris joined Jon and Taryn Vanderford in studio to talk about his new book, You Are Capable of More, and why so many capable people settle for less than what they are able to do.
A Fremont story, told at home.
Pure Nebraska is the community and lifestyle block on 10/11 News in Lincoln, and it is where Nebraskans get to hear what people around the state are building. Chris sat down with Jon and Taryn Vanderford to talk about the book he wrote and the reason he wrote it in the first place.
You Are Capable of More: A No-Excuses Guide to Becoming Your Best Self comes out on August 13, 2026, with a foreword by Ben Newman. It started with a simple question Chris kept running into as an executive and as a speaker, which is why so many talented people quietly hold themselves back from work they are fully able to do.
The answers came back consistent. In a survey of more than two hundred people, ninety two percent said they believe they are capable of more than they are currently doing. Self doubt was the number one barrier at forty percent, seventy eight percent said they delay taking action, and eighty five percent said they second guess themselves.
Chris is available for in-studio and remote segments on the book, self doubt, leadership, and the healthcare workforce. He responds within one business day and can usually accommodate short-notice bookings.
