THE OWNER'S MANUAL
CHRIS KNUTH
Chris Knuth is an entrepreneur, business owner, coach, and teacher who helps business owners make the leap from working in their business to leading a business that creates freedom, impact, and lasting value.

As President and CEO of Star Motors European Service, Chris turned years of hard-earned lessons into a practical framework for shifting from technician to leader. Drawing on decades of building businesses, coaching owners, and developing high-performing teams, he teaches that sustainable growth begins with transforming the owner before transforming the business.
Chris is also the founder of Atmavidya Yoga, where he teaches meditation and principles of self-mastery — bringing the same focus on awareness, purpose, and personal growth to every aspect of his work. He lives in Southern California with his wife, Emma, where he continues to build businesses, mentor entrepreneurs, and write about leadership, freedom, and the inner work that makes both possible.
