"When we aren't told what we can and cannot do, it turns out we can do a lot more than we think "- the traditional schools need to hear this out !
thats not true, go ahead MAKE, this is just the "its not my fault is society who is responsible!" fallacy
@@Nodsaibot projection?
As a nurse, turned accountant, turned creative this speaks to me directly!
I lost my mom when I was 13 too! And I consider myself visual creative. I can totally relate as my rebellion definitely came from that experience of "I'm the own compass". I felt liberated as I left my own country at 19 and learning new language and culture and doing absolutely different things from what Japanese culture expects a young woman to do. I would never be the same person if I didn't have that experience of my mother's death. A gift!
congratulations
Two hours!! There are not many people I can listen to for so long. I could listen to The Futur for 5 hours.
Well, less than a minute and I have tears in my eyes. You got me hooked. Relevaaaannntt content!
58:00 is pure gold conversation, loved it
Thank you
As a father of three young kids, and as a creative person who actually grew up on a dairy farm, in the middle of nowhere Wisconsin... Boredom is the breeding ground of creativity...if you can entertain yourself in a vacuum of nothingness you can then leverage that imagination and divergent thinking in other areas of your life.
I am also trying so hard to give my kids the space to figure this out.
Great chat here, and thanks for sharing it with all of us!
Thank you.
Having preconceived notions about an industry or a topic really does hurt you because you believe that things have to be done in a 'certain way' and you box yourself in. I've felt trapped with that. I'm a relatively new Realtor in Toronto and I'm trying to figure out how to look at the industry from a new perspective and embrace my difference, but at the same time am having a hard time following through with the ideas that I have that come into mind. As you stated, it's from self-acceptance, the area that I need to work on overcoming. The podcast really does hit home. There are many great topics in the podcast, discussing how to think the right way, details about rules, innovation, being weird, embracing your weirdness, failure and self-sufficiency. It's a must watch!
I think a big thing to being creative is trying new things yourself and combining the failures and successes you gain from that with professional aid you would seek later on. Self progress + professional aid to gain a well rounded and unique approach.
When Joey started talking about why only 2% of us identify as creatives as adults, I felt like he was speaking my thoughts in real time. Your take on this Chris was a perfect. I was never a conformist, always a rebel, and most importantly, a born artist. As a teen while others planned their futures and their careers. I was already painting and drawing mine. I was self-conscious of this when young but learned to embrace my differences and made a living doing what I love. You are both weird and unique inspiration. Thanks.
Thank you. The freak in me salutes the freak in you.
Damn Chris, you've come a long way since 2014 and the first Skool video I watched.
Love your usual content but these interviews are where I learn the most. Keep it up! :)
Thank you 😊
I like his 3 years back whiteboard sessions more
@@thefutur Chris, I'm trying to recall which video on youtube you talked about Blockbuster failing to realize their true mission compared to Netflix (in the same way you talked about Tesla being a data company, and not a car company). A reminder where I can find this video?
I have been through things that so many people can't fathom, I'm proud that all these things made me tough and think big, More even being different. Am from Kenya, and I started watching shark tank few weeks ago and I was so suprised you touched on the show in the video it has really helped me to think broader and different. Thank you Guys.
I could listen to creative minds speaking creative stuff all day. Thanks for the upload.
Glad you enjoy it!
Chris Do does it again. Great conversation with a great guest. The only problem is that I can't passively listen to it while doing something else --- I have to stop to take notes too frequently 😊
Haha 😂
@@thefutur This is a reoccurring thought for me as well :D Too dense, too good.
This video came up automatically after I finished listening to another one of yours. It touched on one of my bug bears - humans not fulfilling their purpose. It reminded me of one of the reasons I started my business in the first place! At 1:30:57, I was ecstatic to hear you mention the differences between you and your wife and the astrological background! Self-mastery and self-awareness using astrology is exactly one of the ways I am showing people (reminding) of their unique gifts and talents! So thank you for that! Watch this space!
Listening to you two is definitely helping us out there. Thank you Chris.
Thank you
Ive never watched such a long video....but this one was worth it...I want to accept my wierd state and accept who I am....I want to really work on myself as an upcoming designer and ignore all these voices and limitations ppl are putting on me...dont know how i'll do it tbh but I will!!!
Thank you 🙏
Chris definitely seems like an introvert and I’m here for it!!! 🫶🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
So much to think about from this! Fantastic content to consume as always. Nice work!
Now I have to read it.
“They didn’t know it was impossible, so they did it.” - Mark Twain
would love to read the book! please make an Audible versiono! @JoeyCofone
Thanks guys. This was an amazing conversation.
Thanks for listening.
that was such a great conversation!
Thank You, im still here digesting the information.
Awesome conversation. Both. Thank you! A bit longer than usual, but a delight! Thanks!
This is when we realize that some people are modern day philosophers; I'd say this conversation constitutes as such. It'll be interesting to see what voices survive the web over time.
FREE THINK!
nooooo waaaaay Chris! didn't know you were a skateboarder. didn't think I could like you even more. you're the best.
This...was a really interesting episode to listen to. Gave me plenty to think about
I find it interesting that the word weird used to mean the power to control fate. In the context of today, referring to creative as being weird, and how true that so is, and that the meaning changed because people don't understand those that can control fate...
We need to brind that child in us back to be free and creative again
Love this entire convo. Gems!!!!! I will order the book as well - treat for myself. Thank you both for valuable insights.
One of the best episodes on this channel! Loved every minute of it.
But to not leave without criticism the fan in the background is driving me nuts and I don't understand how I can't even hear it ....
It’s a good mic
Make a video talking about AI, how it can grow/develop and how it will affect us designers and how it will afect brands/business in general
To continue the practice of citing sources, for those curious, it was Jesus Christ who said “A prophet is not without honour except in his own town and in his own home.”
Mark 6:4, Matthew 13:57, John 4:44.
Also, @JoeyCofone, I think you might find it interesting to look up the biblical association with the name Baron Fig. I looked up the definition on your website to clarify the company's intended meaning, and I get it, just FYI it holds a different message biblically.
See Matthew 21:18-22
A fruitful podcast episode. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing
My favorite character is the Hulk too! Im not even that into comics but I got all the planet hulk series and world war hulk, the dude was used so much by all the heroes, the dude was not wel comprehended and just wanted to be alone, then got dragged out to fight and then they treated him as a monster. Deep stuff.
Hulk Smash
I always call creativity magic haha!!
I m 22 , I designed and helped to launch 11 products till now. 6 of them are live , 2 are in development phase 😊
Wow amazing. I'd like to connect with you sir.
I feel like its not necessarily to want to make your kids suffer ...and moreover you cant make them suffer so that they may have a good alligned future or something ...i'd love to call it challenging them that making them suffer...I believe that whatever happens to anyone in their life its just supposed to happen that way.
Weird comes from the Old English word Wyrd, which means destiny.... so embrace your inner Weirdo!
Nice
Amazing insights:)) Sorry to hear that your mentor passed away!
Appreciate it
From the lessons of Jurassic Park, we always should be asking not just “can I do this?” But also “should I do this?” Tesla being an example. The questions were “how to make a self driving car?” > “how to make them see the road better”> etc. but what if someone said “why is it so hard to create a self driving car due to the unpredictablly of humans” leading to “why do we need cars when there’s trains?” Or “why do we have such car centric cities?” So when tapping into creativity allows more people to feel like they can do anything they set their mind to, but then we should also be asking “should you do it”? And I bring this up in creative spaces and then I’m the weirdo! But I bet in other spaces, it’s not wierdo. So being wierd is always in context of what you’re surrounded by. Do you want to be the unique one all the time? Or do you want to be unique only in whatever is the dominate culture at the time?
Reframing is powerful.
I just purchased the book
Hello, what book is that??
@@raymondtendau2749 laws of creativity
@@shoto6024 Great will check it out. Thanks.🙏🏾
@@shoto6024 please is the Author John T.Hill or Joey Cofone ??
@@raymondtendau2749 Joey Cafone
15:18 Nothing was defective with your brain. You saw through the illusion of Authority and questioned it. ... thats smart
The more I listen to Chris, the weirder it gets for me. I believe I'm roughly the same age as Chris, we have the same hairdresser, and I grew up and spent most of my childhood reading Marvel comics (and playing with Lego). As a teenager, I also started to get into graphic design through skateboarding (and music). And Jim Phillips had such an influence on me at the time. I'm sorry, but I have to steel your line. Chris, are you my brother from antother mother? ;-)
Where do I get that “God is a designer” shirt!?

This episode aired in October 🧐 Why so late release (on UA-cam) 🤔
Two different teams and priorities.
I m Libra :: extrovert among girls but an introvert among guys 😅😊
I tell my kids go ask ChatGPT
The cover page of the book , laws of creativity looks weird 😅.sadly the printed version is not available in My Country
Which country?

Funny enough i thought recently that my 5 yo boy was really on point with creativity. 5 must be the meeting point btw capacities and not be aware of all man made rules that will numb you down ...
9.39 minutes
I think creativity is for every profession, because the world steps further when a weirdo appears on the horizon
Thank you for the brain food
there's 48 lawws of power tho lol
I don't like nature - I live in Colorado and it's expected
I also dont like nature. :)
his creativity theory is pure BS, based on that rural people would be ultra mega creative lol
reality is people LOSE interest on creating and figuring out how things work, they just ACCEPT it, just like people get used to use a software and forget the skills (say you are amazing at illustrator but cant draw a stickman or even logos from memory, or create beautiful websites in squarespace but have NO IDEA about html css)
98 to 2 percent is so disheartening. I am so thankful to be in that 2 percent. This makes me more empathetic towards non-creatives who can’t do things that are as natural as breathing to me.
Me too
I just thought about what an epic conversation it would be between Scott Adams and Chris about creativity & productivity systems.
I think these conversations motivate a lot of viewers to, if anything, start that “what if” question in their minds, and now they’re open to believing it’s possible - Yes, you can write a book too, you can create, you have to work hard and also don’t forget to love yourself on the journey, but you have to work hard. The cool thing about working hard as a creative is that it’s FUN! 😅
Amazeballs guys, thanks.
This is SO great! Thnx a LOT for this wonderful and deep conversation!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I wish that kids were encouraged to do child-led, open ended art at school. My child is 100% a rebel. She knows what’s expected and always chooses to do it differently. She has zero interest in premade art sets and rather use “trash” she’s collected from the home. I think most kids probably start like this.
Steve Jobs had the confidence to take a risk with his crazy idea..he found genius level individuals competent in the fields of technology to create his dream ideas, the Macintosh, Apple iPhone.
Divergent thinking has no laws.
Kris you are an introvert (probably moderately) who is energised by your mission and the impact that you are making in the world. This is why it appears that you are an ambivert. I've been following you for years and your thinking style, behavioural patterns and conversation style is predominantly introverted. Just my observation. I suggest you do the Big Five personality test to get a more accurate analysis. I don't think it is relevant as much for you because you are highly self-aware with a high level of self-worth so you are already on the right track. That's the reason for the tests. The same applies to Joey. Keep on shining both of you!
Thank you KC. you are probably right.
What an incredibly wonderful interview. ❤😮Two of the most personal, humble and super deep intelligent men alive. Mindblown! Can’t wait for Joey’s new book to come out!
Please continue this! There is lots of room for more 🤗
Glad you enjoyed it!
This conversation was so potent 😮🙌🏽🫶🏽
I learnt absolutely nothing from this compared to other videos/interviews. And this is a topic I'm really excited about
Sorry to hear. Appreciate the feedback
bro can I get printed version. I tried amazon but they do not ship it here 🙂
Love the content as always would love to hear this with Chris’s audio boosted. Audio engineer if I could help my door is open as the Futur doors are open to learn from these great conversations

I am not a big fan of podcasts and talk shows, but this was one of the most comforting things I’ve heard. I was always the weird kid who loved to read manga, or anything to do with Japan (it wasn’t cool back then like it’s hyped today), I grew up in a small religious town so I stood out with my rainbow hair and “funny” clothes. I had a few very close friends who loved my weirdness (we made up imaginary friends and our own language), but as an adult you lose that but every now and then you find these people who share their inner weirdo with you and it’s magical, like you did here ❤
