I have spent my first 40 years not being authentic, trying to hide my autism and adhd. I diluted all the things that make me great but in order to please a 1/3 of people who might not connect with the real me. Now, pivoting into a design career midlife (although I swear to god my brain thinks it’s 30) I have made a commitment to spend more energy on growth and less on masking. Thank you for laying down the foundation for discovering who is truly there and finding a balance in the duality.

This is beautiful

This is the best video. 1. I learned some useful/helpful information. 2. It was calm, which is a more conducive environment for learning. I wasn't riled up and stressed out by background noise and hype forcing me to work harder to pay attention, but then I get so ill I give up and get out.

Please, for love of Christ, guys... If you're ever considering dropping KZread because you're not getting the engagement you want (and deserve), just don't. Don't ever stop. The amount of value you give to those of us who watch is immeasurable.

"Personal Branding is a process of Self-Discovery." This is my second video about Personal Branding from Chris Do and I have already learned so much. It is really amazing to how much complex it can be and how much easier it could be if you discover yourself; on my path to Self Discovery to build my personal brand. Thank you very much for the video. 👏

The best brands tell the most compelling stories. You want to be a great brand, tell a great story.

Dear Futur Team… I did it. I did this exercise as honestly as I could, and it was beautiful. I thought Chris was tripping when he said people usually get to tears, but 2 hours later, discussing everything I wrote, and getting genuine feedback from my closest friend, I was forcing tears back, and evening my voice out so the shaky breath wasn't audible. Laugh - out - loud . . . I feel equipped. I'm glad I put in the work. Can't wait to see what I'll do next. Thank you.

How would you recommend an artist/producer growing a personal brand from 0 in 2024?

Hey! You NON Designer watching this! I see you, I see you. I am not a designer, probably never will . I am a Chief of Staff to the CTO in a tech department and still Chris keeps inspiring and teaching me after years. This the most comprehensive presentation on personal branding I have been ever able to find. Chris has this gift of taking all the BS out of concepts and processes and making them relatable, easy to understand and highly actionable. Thank you Chris Do!

This channel is an absolute gold mine. Thanks so much for the value you've put on KZread!

Thank you KZread for starting to recommend Chris Do/The Futur content again. Watched chris religiously for 6+ years (back in the Jose days, he even did a website desing critique for me back in the Skool days). I took my learnings from that era and went deep into my own journey, moving more away from the branding/design space. But here I'm back as a content creator/KZreadr, and building our site up, and here Chris and The Futur is again at the time in my career that I'm ready for it again! Chris, you are one of my mentors from afar. The same way that Jose got you infront of the camera as an introvert, you helped me do that as a fellow introvert. Seeing the evolution you went through to be now who you are completely owning the stage in one of the most engaging presentstions I've ever seen, gave me permission to also create, talk, and become that extroverted introvert. Going to go binge more content on your channel to catch up, it has been too long

This was Alex (me) by the way, not Andra. That said, Andra and I connected early on with your content, one of your talks on Ikigai, we did all of the workbooks together. So Chris Do was a mutual mentor for both of us literally the first 2-3 weeks of our relationship (we're now married).

Chris Do is fast becoming my favourite guy to be inspired by. It's almost like he's me in Asian skin! Check this: We started our careers almost in the same way, we have the same design skills and type of creativity, the same desire to lead people creatively, seemingly wanting to influence society in exactly the same way, and... get this... we were born in the same year! It's surreal. I have followed Chris and TheFutur for a few years, but it just hit me now that he is moving in the same direction as me, just many miles ahead.

It's all fun and games until you come to confronting your shadow word. Insightful, yet deeply unsettling, but you can see why it would be so powerful. Thank you for making this available for free.

I can see now why you wanted to hold on speaking in personal brand at our strategy workshop. This is a golden follow up, thank you!

I have discovered your channel recently. Currently I am stuck and was looking for personal branding videos. This video is great, as it asks the questions which usually don't come to the mind for clear picture and puzzle solving. Thanks again.🌸

This video is gold. I've been working on a self evaluation to develop my personal brand, but I've still found it difficult when diving into my vulnerabilities. This video really helped me understand how to frame that process and leverage it for my branding. Even though it gives me more work to do, I know the payoff will be worth it. Thank you for sharing this value Chris, cheers to the long game. God Bless

I think I am realizing the gap that is closed for me as an Asian solopreneur with Chris Do's approach. He understands the struggle of perception, image, inner drive and heart in a way thar white, male Creators don't.

Thank for this video I had a lot of breakthroughs. My transformation name is ACCEPTionally Different. I’ve struggled with always being different and the lack of acceptance from my peers. I’ve always struggled with understanding how it was going to empower me after watching this video I learned all these years were preparation for my entrepreneurial endeavors. In entrepreneurship you can experience a lot of rejection when you are creating something new.

I’m beginning to understand your concept of reframing here, I’m just trying to figure out how this would play into my life as a cinematographer who wants to do more than just light and shoot videos. I want to bring value to peoples lives but have too many limiting thoughts. Absolutely in love with this talk. I’m bookmarking this so I can watch it multiple times again. Thanks so much for this.

When I was 7 years old, I needed to have a signature for school. So I tried copying all the signatures of famous presidents from my dad's paper money bills collection. I made my own signature and I haven't changed it since. [and now I have OCD when it comes to which pen I use for signing :D :D]

That ending quote was something i needed to hear ;-;

High-value video bro. Dr.Squatch might be referencing the old school slang “dish” meaning someone’s hot/attractive but from what I’ve seen was used more frequently referring to women than men. Prior to Dr. Squatch I haven’t seen the term dish since Donatello said it in a Ninja Turtles cartoon in the 90’s (“look at that tremendous dish!” and a girl thanked him because she thought he was talking about her. He was actually referring to a huge satellite dish behind her.
