Such a fun podcast to guest on (and listen to!) Chris is one of *THE* top introvert experts in building a brand out there and it was a delight to be chatting on a show with him about introversion, getting out there and why I think he’s definitely a flying squirrel! Will continue to tune in and learn more!

I just wanted to express my appreciation for The Futur. Your knack for breaking down complex subjects and making them engaging is truly impressive. I really value how you incorporate real-world examples and practical insights that resonate with creatives and encourage them to take action. Your passion for teaching is evident in every episode, making it a fantastic resource for anyone looking to elevate their skills.

I have been following Chris Do for ages now. The content he shares is inspiring, actionable and somehow free. Crazy!
I highly recommend listening and following Master Do and his colleagues, especially if you run a business, and not just a business in the creative world.

Full disclosure, if Chris Do would open a church tomorrow, I’ll be the first one in line 😆🤩 After discovering this amazing human, I can’t get enough of his content since 2019.
He changed the way I look at myself as a business owner, how I run my creative agency, how we talk to clients, how we find clients, how we make a sales call, how we start the creative process, how we increase the prices, look for better clients, improve operations, how we negotiate, brand ourselves, navigate conflicts and difficult conversations.
There isn’t one single episode I haven’t listened to at least once. After being in this industry for a while, I see influencers who come, create for a few years, cash out, and either get burned out or so monetized that they lose me or get lost. Chris is the only one I know and heard of who’s in it for something bigger than all of us. He’s a true teacher who cares so deeply about helping others without asking for anything in return.
Even my kids know and recognize his name and voice 😆 Thank you Chris from the bottom of my creative heart for everything you’ve done for me, for the community, and for those lost souls that somehow never heard of you.
Please never stop! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
