Episode 41: Chris Allen - Building a Brand, Living Unfiltered
Meet Chris Allen, startup founder and cast member of Netflix’s “Million Dollar Secret.” Before stepping into reality TV, Chris co-founded Osena, the world’s first zero-sugar spiked coconut water cocktail. Navigating the ultra-competitive beverage industry gave him a front-row seat to the mental and emotional challenges of chasing success—an experience that prepared him for the world of “Million Dollar Secret.”
In this episode, Chris shares what reality TV taught him about quiet confidence, how he built resilience through the pressure of public competition, and why staying grounded matters most when you're building something that matters.
