In this episode of Reflections, Chris shifts the focus to his literal daily uniform. We often talk about the "many hats" required to run a creative business, but in real life, Chris really only wears one: a basic, black ball cap.

From childhood habits and 25 years of competitive darts to wearing a special fuzzy winter edition in the snows of Churchill, that black cap is a constant companion through every pivot of his journey. Discover why putting on a black hat every single morning is more than just a wardrobe choice; it is a strategic ritual that protects the creative energy needed for the wild.
