I barely watch without laughing put loud at this point. Thank you for all you do. You dont just teach, you teach and show a lot of us what is possible.
I appreciate the futur, Chris Do, bringing why the education system is as it is, it's important to have conversations about it. Again, like our national hero said, and I'll just translate it, we can't go to the futur if we don't know our past... But knowing is not enough, it's what you do with that knowledge... Jose Rizal wrote a lot of books, fought the good foght by using a pen, just like Chris is creating educational content for the people even if it means they are positioned against huge century old institutions... Just for background, why I say what I say, is because I've been in College as an Accountancy student despite my lack of interest because that's what my parents wanted, because that's what they were taught. And I quit. I didn't finish. I was okay with humanities subjects. Okay with doing extra curricular stuff like being a representative for an interschool-accountancy-wide-singing-contest. But the actual accountancy part, I suck. It doesn't help that I think in the family, parents included, were undiagnosed Dyslexic or ADHD. Imagine having dyslexic symptoms working on spreadsheets full of number! The company is at risk of misstatements because of transpo error! So I quit. And took the next best thing, worked at a call center. I know there's a lot of people who watches the future because of education experiences. I'm not where I am if not because of the education system, back then call centers required applicants with some college education, so I'm still grateful for that, but I wish my son won't have to go through the same pressure as I experienced.... I'd enroll him to the futur courses by highschool if he wants, just as a little elective, and I'd study with him. Thanks for reading this long winded comment. A like is all I ask if you feel me. I know I took a lot of your brain space. 😂 47mins through but I'll have to do something and continue listening tomorrow.
Chris, your story and mine relates very much. Living in a different country, parents not agreeing, same father engineer, mother designer parenting. Your older than me and therefore im gona follow your path 😅
Thanks Chris, it has been quite a trip, the good times go by fast and the lean times feel never ending. Thank you for all the intel and yes, I'm still doing motion graphics. Larry ACCD GPK 2003
I saw this video some days ago and then lost it. So I searched up "From freelancing to fortune". Unfortunately it did not come up. That is surprising cos that is the title on the thumbnail. Like it's the most memorable. So maybe you need to work on your SEO Chris. I could not have guessed the title because the thumbnail takes away all the attention from the title. Like it's a captivating cover image and the colour yellow.
I wish i had an uncle who would pass me a 100.000$ CEC, that would be such helpful in building and growing my business. Unfortunately like many out there, i have to do lots of sacrifices and grow in baby steps.
As long as you don’t use that as an excuse to not succeed. I have a friend with a victim mindset, he couldn’t possibly be successful because he had a bad childhood. So? Now what? Some people have to sacrifice more than others and some people have to work harder. Wherever you fall on that scale it really doesn’t matter because no one cares and it won’t make your win any sweeter when you make it. Just keep working at it and don’t let it stop you. You don’t need $100,000 to grow a successful business, and I’m sure Chris was looking at people who started with a million instead saying they’re so lucky too.
Bro if you have a plan and it's well worth and thought through. he borrowed the money, so can you. Good faith is trust. A bank will do that too. You just have to manage risk and interest payments.
Your intro doesn't feel right. The music, the length of the clips, the length of the intro... it's not tight. I say this to be helpful. Ty for the interview.
Brother the video was uploaded 10 minutes before your comment. Within 10 minutes you watched the entire 1 hour video and then also commented- "Great information" 😂😂 seriously 🤨
Chris, I see a lot of so called “marketers” and “influencers.” I can feel you are genuine and don’t fake the funk. You are yourself. That’s why I subscribe. Love the content.
This was so insightful. I love the behind-the-scenes element this had into someone whom I respect for their knowledge and more. The story of the grade change sealed the deal for me, and I had to continue watching until the end. I believe Mr. Chris Do that you will be a part of the Design industry's history, though you already have made an impact. And also you and the futur are entities that I constantly recommend to students of mine.
I can so relate to a lot of this especially the art school I went to college for graphic design with a minor in marketing and I'm a freelance photographer and more and I can relate on that level as well. I didn't like school either I used to excel in writing as well but hated grammar
It's nice to see how Chris is going more in depth with what has happened in the past. Watching The Futur from 5 years ago, he wouldn't have let out some of these details, which by the way makes the content more relatable and interesting.
@@thefutur I can't dispute it if you say it's an assumption because you know yourself better, but it's not a transparency thing. I don't question your transparency at all. It just felt like you talk about these things more comfortably because I used to wonder what happened with you and Jose from The Skool times. And this is not to say you avoid talking about it either, but when you do, you only talk about how you had to separate, on the surface. Then recently, you give more context into how he was your mentor and nemesis. Today, you tell us more about WHY the separation happened.
We have some interesting commonalities Chris: 50’s - I’m 53 Skateboarding 🛹- Sector 9 bamboo Rate growth - $45 to $120 to $160 to $360 to $750 per session And your sentiment: Yesterday’s price will always be cheaper
I'm really grateful for Chris Do. He's stories are relatable and he's shown us what is possible if we put our minds to it.
Appreciate it
Please do more of this. Chris is a walking gold mine full of stories that I would love to hear!
I barely watch without laughing put loud at this point. Thank you for all you do. You dont just teach, you teach and show a lot of us what is possible.
Thank you 😊

I could listen to Chris all day. What a Story!
The end bit with mention of Mathew was a cliff hanger, give us moarrr 😂 i love this origin story sharing, thanks Chris!
Thanks Chris, it has been quite a trip, the good times go by fast and the lean times feel never ending. Thank you for all the intel and yes, I'm still doing motion graphics.

Ego is not a bad thing, It is a force that pushes us (stubborn guys) to create our own thing. Very interesting story you have Chris , loved it!
I think it depends, ego can also be the things that stops you from achieving the things you really want.
“I will follow orders when I’m inspired the one leading” I’ve never felt something so much!
Thank god for the weekend uploads to keep me on track lol
Haha we're here for you!
I could listen to chris all day, I mean, I've been listening to him since before my 8 year old was born 😂
Oh. That’s the beginning.
Thanks
Great interview guys!!
Thanks!
Thank you! Great pod.
Am I missing something? Chris was being interviewed on his own channel but was the guest or he turned the channel over to Travis?
Chris did a podcast with Travis, and Travis let us use the footage for our channel.
This is a great interview thanks 🙏 👍
You're welcome!
It's amazing to hear your whole story pretty inspiring ^^
Thank you so much!
Genuine as always
Thank you
Nice talk, good vibes, cool insights into the business. Thank you for sharing. : )
One day I'll get 10k and spend a day with Chris his mindset is on point to all of us stuck in the 9-5 rat race.
:) love from india
That's funny. I love it..!! 53:45

Sorry about that, we're always testing out the title and thumbnail the first week to see what performs better.
I wish i had an uncle who would pass me a 100.000$ CEC, that would be such helpful in building and growing my business. Unfortunately like many out there, i have to do lots of sacrifices and grow in baby steps.
Best of luck!
it doesnt have to be an uncle for me - taking any small donations of a million dollars from anyone 🤲
As long as you don’t use that as an excuse to not succeed.

Bro if you have a plan and it's well worth and thought through. he borrowed the money, so can you. Good faith is trust.
A bank will do that too. You just have to manage risk and interest payments.
If you had listened to the podcast, he never got the 100k and built a successful business anyway
Your intro doesn't feel right. The music, the length of the clips, the length of the intro... it's not tight.
I say this to be helpful. Ty for the interview.
Okay thanks.
Great information like always ❤
Brother the video was uploaded 10 minutes before your comment. Within 10 minutes you watched the entire 1 hour video and then also commented- "Great information"
😂😂
seriously 🤨
Now that's what I call true dedication!
Maybe he's still watching it DA! @@SimplifyingTechh
@@thefutur .This is a laugh. Really! Great gesture in their defence or defense... not sure.
We're just having fun, no ill intention here.
Wow. I love his journey. Some part of it, I feel relatable.
Chris, I see a lot of so called “marketers” and “influencers.” I can feel you are genuine and don’t fake the funk. You are yourself. That’s why I subscribe. Love the content.
Appreciate it.
9:08 I am a mother of 3 sons… thank you for this 😉
Awesome stuff
I appreciate it!
Cool to hear Chris grew up skateboarding in San Jose. So did my brother.
This was so insightful. I love the behind-the-scenes element this had into someone whom I respect for their knowledge and more. The story of the grade change sealed the deal for me, and I had to continue watching until the end. I believe Mr. Chris Do that you will be a part of the Design industry's history, though you already have made an impact. And also you and the futur are entities that I constantly recommend to students of mine.
Fun.
"the price I give you today will always be the cheapest price, wait till you'll see the bill tomorrow" - great quote

Thank you for the great interview = I enjoyed it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hey Chris, I can't thank you enough for helping me fill my institutional voids. Keep up the great work!
It's amazing!
Wow, this was so good - I think I'm going to watch it again :)
It's nice to see how Chris is going more in depth with what has happened in the past. Watching The Futur from 5 years ago, he wouldn't have let out some of these details, which by the way makes the content more relatable and interesting.
I think that’s an assumption. I’ve been transparent from day 1. Just need someone to ask me questions.
@@thefutur I can't dispute it if you say it's an assumption because you know yourself better, but it's not a transparency thing.
I don't question your transparency at all.
It just felt like you talk about these things more comfortably because I used to wonder what happened with you and Jose from The Skool times. And this is not to say you avoid talking about it either, but when you do, you only talk about how you had to separate, on the surface.

Thumbnail critique: you cut out the far armrest on Chris's chair, and now it looks like he's doing a weird genie pose.
Thanks.
The set is from Omar’s The Department! Are we doing business with them?
We used this podcast space for the interview.
