Chris Astrella, founder of Government Guru Speaking and Consulting, who helps government professionals, educational institutions, and govtech companies strengthen their teams, services, and digital operations.
Through conference speaking, interim staffing, grant writing, hiring support, digital audits, and strategic consulting, Chris combines nearly 20 years of local government experience with his passion for teaching as a Public Administration professor.
Now, Chris's decision to leave a role where he felt undervalued and bet on himself demonstrates the courage it takes to build a business around your own expertise, even while navigating fluctuating income, quiet seasons, and the uncertainty of entrepreneurship.
And while working toward speaking in every state and creating opportunities throughout the entire year, he's proving that when you stop living someone else's dream, you can begin building one that truly values your strengths.

Welcome to The Unforget Yourself Show where we use the power of woo and the proof of science to help you identify your blind spots, and get over your own bullshit so that you can do the fucking thing you ACTUALLY want to do!
We’re Mark and Katie, the founders of Unforget Yourself and the creators of the Unforget Yourself System and on this podcast, we’re here to share REAL conversations about what goes on inside the heart and minds of those brave and crazy enough to start their own business.
From the accidental entrepreneur to the laser-focused CEO, we find out how they got to where they are today, not by hearing the go-to story of their success, but talking about how we all have our own BS to deal with and it’s through facing ourselves that we find a way to do the fucking thing.
Along the way, we hope to show you that YOU are the most important asset in your business (and your life - duh!).
Being a business owner is tough! With vulnerability and humor, we get to the real story behind their success and show you that you’re not alone.
