Christopher Swan is on a big adventure! In My Big Story with Christopher Swan, he’s literally on a plane, train, or automobile, traveling the USA (aiming for the world!), interviewing uniquely inspiring people.
Through these interviews and stories, Christopher uncovers ideas, dreams, and truths — and in turn, his big story unfolds — to create a world where everyone belongs.
Guests have included social good advocates, artists, small business owners, corporate and nonprofits leaders, actors, musicians, chefs, drag queens, creatives, and anyone with a big inspiring story.

“As someone that made the decision to leave a successful corporate career to find himself, this podcast resonates with me on a deep level.
On the surface, this podcast is Christopher Swan interviewing interesting people, doing interesting things. What makes this podcast EXTRAORDINARY is that while listening, you realize it’s not so much about what they are doing, but why…and along the way, you feel the same way about Christopher. He’s not “doing interviews,” he, himself, is growing and exploring and making a meaningful life while interacting and talking to others living their true authentic lives. Whether it’s cooking, entertaining, corrections, or being a craftsman…he talks to the person behind the career.
