“Life, Love, Leadership” - (The L3 Perspective) As our desire is to build relationships (whether that in be Life, in Love or in Leadership) our goal is simple - we’re here for one reason and one reason only, to add value. From every word, sentence, paragraph and post - there is meaning behind it all . As we share what’s on our hearts, we aspire to keep your wheels turning but more importantly to help you become a better version of yourself. Why? Because, we firmly believe the more value you add to yourself the more value you add to others. - Cam & Glenn

In this episode, we’re joined by Coach Chas Higgins, a 23-year U.S. Air Force veteran, certified leadership coach, suicide prevention advocate, and the founder of FrameShaping LLC. With decades of experience leading, mentoring, and overcoming personal adversity, Chas brings a powerful blend of vulnerability, vision, and voice to the conversation.
After retiring from the military and facing some of life’s darkest moments, including a near suicide attempt in 2015, Chas transformed his pain into purpose - becoming a nationally recognized trainer in leadership, personal growth, and interpersonal violence prevention.
As a certified John Maxwell Team speaker and coach, his mission is clear: help people tap in to their potential before they tap out.
