Reinvent Yourself (2022)- Obstacles Are Opportunities In Disguise

How come some people are stuck and other are quick to change? How does someone get over obstacles? How do you bring all of your interests together to use as an advantage? How do you pivot?
In this talk from Graphika Manila 2021 you’ll hear Chris tell his story of how we was able to go from graphic design, motion design, and everything in between to going on youtube and teaching millions. He also shares how you can overcome obstacles and use them to your advantage.

    To Chris and the whole team: You started making educational videos and tips and tricks on design. Now you're inspiring people to transform their lives and to reach for the stars. You're fostering human growth through service, compassion and curiosity. You're teaching the proverbial man to fish. You're sharing something beautiful with other hearts. This may be the highest calling. I hope all this good you are putting into the world also comes back to you all. Thank you. :)

I always managed teams and like to share my knowledge. I had this feeling that I wanted to teach people and helping them so they don’t make the same mistakes I’ve made on my journey. A couple of months ago I joined a German start up community. now I’m empowering and teaching start ups. Even build a small coaching group. I didn’t planed this. this work fills me with so much joy and I also learn a lot about myself. Looking forward to the futurE. How do you reinvent yourself? Tell me your story I’m Interested

    I love your breakdown of companies that suffered/succeeded (18:00-19:28) and noticed a pattern with each one of your examples. I ALWAYS say, "People are ALWAYS more important than things." The old companies bacame too obsessed with the product, or the process, because it worked - for the time. Yet, the companies that adapt to caring about the people, those are the companies that succeed. I'm sure that when Blockbuster first started, Wayne Huizenga started with the intention of providing a service for people, but when the company grew, the honchos of Blockbuster was more focused on "Running Blockbuster" and lost sight on the needs of the people. The late, Robin Williams, in Patch Adams but the nail on the head, "If you treat the disease, you win, you lose. If you treat the person, you win, everytime, I guarantee it." This is the philosophy that I have been living by, and I see the impact I am able to make with the people I meet with. When I started a new job at Amazon, (Due to COVID) I didn't know anyone. I quickly realized how focused the managers were on "the process". They were focused on things - all of them. Morale was not very high. Me, being who I am, tried my best to be a cushion between managers and the people, and even though I'm one of the lowest people on the totem-pole, but there will be times when I will ask for help, and people will tell me, "Just know that I am only helping YOU," or "Under any other circumstance, I would out right refuse, but I will be more than happy to help, only because its you." As I have developed myself, over the past decade, with everything that I am learning and studying, my brain is highlighting every example of this whole thing of "People are always more important than things". Anyways. Thank you for this introspective. This was really inciteful, and has given me a lot to think about, too.

    Thank you, Chris. The part the resonates with me the most is about how COVID-19 pandemic would reshape our economy and the way we do things. I had thought about this around six months ago when I was still deciding on whether to quit my pre-COVID profession and start something different, something that I already am working on but didn't go much further than where I am. You also gave great examples about what former companies, like Blockbuster, didn't do, and the pandemic gave me (and probably many people) a lot of time to reflect my priorities. This talk is another boost to what I'm already doing. Btw, I am a former graphic designer, SDSU graduate (2001), left the profession, went on to do something entire different, and now I have freshly returned and found your graphic design tutorials as a refresher. And that led me to your business talks.

    I’m a mid 40s man. March 2020, as the Lockdown began, I decided to learn new software (Blender, Unreal Engine, Houdini...). I see an opportunity now, and I’ve almost got the chops to take advantage of what’s before me. I question if this is my path, then, this jewel drops. The Futur will be a part of my past.

    I have never commented on KZread before, this is my first ever comment. And it's spontaneous, because you're making my life turn around. I watched your first video last week, a white sheet session on profitability and I've never heard anything that practical. I'm a starting graphic designer, so much afraid, so much hiding, making losses all the time, but I'm beginning to understand why. You're a blessing, I know you're a very busy person, I'd have love to be your direct student. God bless you so much, Chris.

    I appreciate hearing your voice and I’m pleasantly shocked to find everything that you’re saying makes sense and it’s not judgmental or condescending in the least but instead I find inspiration to even take the first steps to doing something different, stepping outside my own comfort zone is a bit terrifying. I’m oddly reminded of what Bob Proctor shared in one of his most notable lectures about Joseph Campbell about the cave we fear to enter holds the treasure we seek. I’ve never thought of myself as being a genius or a smart person but I do realize that I’m creative and somehow I know that’s the key that unlocks the doors to new possibilities.

    I don't know why this has only 18k views, I think people are afraid of watching long videos.. but guess what whoever will watch it whole.. their life won't be the same after it (if he/she will take action, ofcourse). ~ I'm a Web Developer, stuck in the middle of the nowhere, I'm getting projects but money isn't at all motivating me anymore. I think this video has changed my perspective now I'm looking for the "obstacle" and after than I'll plan my "response." Thanks a lot man :) *23 Oct 21 - update:* I've halted my journey of becoming a web developer, in the process I was having tough time with the "design" part then I decided to learn UIUX and fell in love with that. Being a designer felt more human to me and now I've started my journey of becoming an UIUX designer, it has been 2 months since I started and things are going well still a lot to learn and do.

Maybe a follow up video you can address what holds people back. because the content in here is really good and will definitely make a difference in peoples lives but the reality is probably about 20% will ever take action.

Trying to figure out how to water my own seeds. Also I've been practising with everything else: YOU -------->[OBSTACLE]---------> WANT is a scam that works.

    I notice a similarity in all viral content. Nas Daily and Mindvalley and now this - quality production, great scripting, and most importantly, brevity, clarity and simplicity that is on point. I discovered that this is the secret of making a powerfully crafted message. I love the stylish typography. Really impactful. The B-rolls are thoughtful. I love the colors and motions. And how you make something supposedly "tutorial-ish" poetic, reminds me of the same feeling I get watching MindValley. Your story-telling style reminds me of Sarah Snow but in a positive, uplifting way. Sarah is powerful in her storytelling because of her ability to provoke emotions. Her video draws her audience in, as you are in the scene with her. You are very refreshing in this manner, presenting educational videos in a new light. My problem is this 我有很好的鉴赏能力但是我的创造力远远不如我的想象力。 That is double the blow. P/S: I am curious. You speak like a native speaker so what's the problem with how you sound? Unless you speak with another non-native speaking accent previously that might have a little issue. Else, it is truly an issue in the mind. I envy all who speak this well.

That's the winning mentality in today's business world. Your voice is calming with a clear confidence in yourself and process which gives trust to what your saying. I think everything is in alignment for you, and you just had to get out of your own way like everyone else does to make progress. Appreciate your sharing of your vulnerability in your turning point, yet again, another genuine way to inspire others.
