Awkward part of the convo but you can see where the spiritual beliefs misalign- none the less cool to watch and I think it’s good to argue a point as an interviewer.. that’s what makes viewers that align with your stand point return
As a Pastor and a Preacher, I study comedians. They are the best at learning how to understand a room. I also ask actual questions in sermons and allow the congregation to respond. Preaching is so much more exciting and thrilling when we realize it should be a dialogue.

@@melaniegenuinely We call them "Selah Questions". We put a question on the screen and do 2 minute small discussion groups to encourage deeper thought and consideration into the sermon. We also do reflective questions where we pause for each person in the room to sit in silence and consider. In the SF Bay Area with about 70-80% millennial and Gen Z, this is where our church grows closer together

What’s insane is that this entire social media scam has not been figured out by most people. None of you have any real talent or content…all you do is use KZread to TALK about creating the content/products you really do not have. The simplicity of the scam is so obvious…because WHY on earth would SO MANY people be online telling OTHER people how to build a brand? Nike is not going to give a brand tutorial to help Reebok. Mercedes does not have a channel speaking upon how to do what they did to be Mercedes. It’s an obvious scam for views from people who have no idea how to create anything but a KZread channel, and con the youth into watching giving them false hope. No one who knows how to truly build a brand is going to share that secret because it would create competition. I am amazed at how naive people are. It’s insanity.

In my 11 years of entrepreneurship, this might be the most impactful and truly inspiring hour and a half I’ve ever listened too. Some how I’ve never listened to Chris do, but I’m glad I found him now at this stage. What a breath of fresh air amongst all the bullshit out there

@@OmarEltakrori I feel that it was a very honest talk, it seemed like watching friends discuss a topic. Chris seemed to like the atmosphere a lot and shared a lot info (even getting into real numbers, which I find is rare). When you mentioned that you think you're audio and video quality is the reason for your success, I actually felt that it is because of you as a host. You're a good listener, and can lead a conversation in a direction that is very informative while still making it feel casual and funny. I feel that a lot of talks are either info or casual and this was really the perfect mix for my taste. Definitely gonna watch it a few more times !
Thank you for including the 24:30 - 26:00 minute mark. LOVED the realness of that moment. Still watching the rest... but had to comment on that because I loved the entire engagement.
It takes real energy to have a conversation like this. Thank you for sharing this with us
I love Omar's humility & "I'm here to learn" demeanor.
LOVE the differentiation between retainer (blocks of time) and subscription (value).
Chris Do's insights are always game-changers.
I watched this while I was cleaning my kitchen. It was a very enjoyable and worthwhile hour and 23 minutes. Thanks to Chris and Omar!
Thanks for dropping this, so powerful and this have just helped me to niche down as a brand designer... We learn daily.
Chris Do has Superb integrity! It feels good to see someone out here like him. I'm feeling his energy and knowledge 💚

This interview was so informative, great energy overall, keep up the growth and great work looking forward to seeing more.
Chris is awesome, your brand is a reflection of your values and sense of worth! I live for the long-term game and not short games that are characterise by feast and farming. Omar, this is my 8th video of your series, keep the flames blazing🔥🔥🔥🔥!!! With love from down under..
Love the vulnerability and how he covers like a dad gives so much knowledge with joy! Staying here 🙌
Wow! Thats one hour and twenty three minutes of pure wisdom! Thank you guys so much for this powerful message!
That ad was perfect Omar, I was just thinking "Wow, how does he get his videos to look that clean!"
I’m late to the party but thank you for these delicious gems. When Chris shared his dream about reforming Art Center…I teared up a bit…I essentially share the same dream. As a privileged, neurodivergent, African American, I had the option to go to college…and I HATED IT. I HATE school, but I love to LEARN. For all the different learners out there, I would love to create a digital space where I can share all the knowledge I’ve gathered from various classes for FREE. So much respect for these gentlemen, and huge thank you Mr. Do. 💯

No gate keeping from Chris, This was a knowledge bomb of greatness.
Such impactful interview, no fluff just real. It gave me a lot to think about and apply to my life and business. Thanks!
Tithe basically means a tenth, but it should be "a tenth of what you produce", not necessarily a tenth of your money. The principle thing here is the acknowledgement that your success is not dependent on you, or your money wise-ness, but on God's provision. It started out when God told the Levites to only work as a priest and gave them a billion duties to perform, and so they relied on their community to support them. So the tithe went towards taking care of the servants, being the priests, who couldn't take care of themselves otherwise and relied on the tithe. Somewhere along the way greed, but it's a touching idea. XD The idea was that a portion of your production was set aside to take care of those who are serving your soul, or more specifically serving God exclusively by serving you.
Chris Do embodies authenticity. As you've mentioned, it's about perceiving a person for who he truly is, much like the essence of branding where one captures the emotions, sights, and sounds associated with a person or thing. There were moments when others misunderstood me, assuming I was disrespectful. However, it's important to realize that I am a complex individual who, while often kind and pleasant, also has another side that emerges when faced with pressure and overwhelm. My goal is to reveal the genuine me - a person actively working on managing emotions and navigating the delicate balance between strengths and weaknesses. As I build my brand, I am simultaneously working on refining and embracing the true essence of who I am. So I let people think I was a crazy person who had ADHD and Learning Difficulties but struggled within myself to slowly try to keep everything together while still living with my parents. Thank you, Chris Do for explaining this really do appreciate this.
Thanks for the consistent value!!!
Wow!!! My two favorite influencers together in an interview! I am a graphic designer and photographer and have been following both of these guys who are killing it in their respective areas of expertise!! Amazing!!
