Chris Atkinson Returns to DreamTrips: A Journey of Redemption, Leadership, and Coming Home
Richmond, Texas – Veteran network marketing leader Chris Atkinson is making an exciting return to DreamTrips, a company that once felt like home and now welcomes him back with open arms.
After more than two decades of extraordinary success in the direct selling industry, Chris is ready to bring his experience, heart, and unwavering commitment to “people helping people” back to the DreamTrips family.
With a career spanning over 20 years, Chris has built massive organizations totaling more than 160,000 team members across multiple companies, driving over $3 billion in company revenue. He has consistently promoted to the highest ranks available, earned life-changing income, and even founded and owned his own MLM company.
Few leaders in the profession can match his track record of sustained growth, duplication, and top-level achievement.
Redemption, Purpose, and the Power of People
Yet for Chris, success has never been just about ranks, volume, or paychecks. His story is one of profound personal transformation that fuels everything he does in business and life.
“Before I found network marketing, my life was a mess,”
Chris openly shares.
“I struggled with drinking and drugs. I went to jail 22 times. Rock bottom finally came, and on July 28, 2001, I got sober – and I’ve stayed sober every single day since. That day changed everything.”
That turning point didn’t just save his life – it revealed his true calling.
“I learned that life and business are exactly the same,”
Chris says.
“Both are about people. My motto is simple: People Helping People. I don’t just say it – I live it every single day. Helping others isn’t my passion; it’s my calling.”
That philosophy has guided every team he’s built, every leader he’s developed, and every life he’s touched along the way. Chris’s teams haven’t just grown in numbers – they’ve grown in depth, loyalty, and purpose because he leads with authenticity, empathy, and an unshakable belief in human potential.
Full Circle: Building the Next Chapter at DreamTrips
After years of exploring different opportunities and even building his own company, Chris noticed a post labeled DreamTrips and reached out to the one person he knew from 20 years earlier — Jefferson Santos, Co-Founder and Chief Visionary Officer of DreamTrips. That conversation changed everything.
“Chris is the kind of leader who represents everything DreamTrips stands for,”
said Jefferson Santos, Co-Founder and Chief Visionary Officer of DreamTrips.
“His story is one of redemption, resilience, and purpose. When someone leads from the heart and truly lives ‘people helping people,’ that impact ripples through generations. Welcoming Chris back feels like welcoming family — and I’m incredibly excited for what he will help build in this next chapter of DreamTrips.”
“Thank you, DreamTrips, for welcoming me back,”
Chris says with genuine emotion.
“As soon as I talked to Jefferson, I knew it was time. DreamTrips feels like home. I’ve come full circle, and I couldn’t be more excited to build again with this incredible community, these world-class travel benefits, and a leadership team that truly cares.”
Chris returns to DreamTrips not as a newcomer, but as a seasoned leader ready to pour decades of wisdom into a company positioned for massive growth. He’s already focused on helping both new and existing members experience the life-changing income and lifestyle freedom that DreamTrips offers.
For Chris Atkinson, this isn’t just a business move – it’s a homecoming. And he’s ready to help others find their way home too.
Let’s Go!!!
