The Futur Founder Chris Do | How to communicate your value and get known | Awwwards San Francisco

[@spacemanrocks]

Chris Do is a Man made of pure gold, one of the most valuable thinkers of our time, as he said "There´s no better time to be alive..."

[@AwwwardsTV]

Agreed, it was a very inspiring way to wrap up the conference, also a very lovely human being, we look forward to working with him in NYC this September! :)

[@thefutur]

thank you Ricardo. that's a lofty title to live up to.

[@davidrivers7667]

He is a force of Light and Love

[@amrdaudo5551]

there's really no better time to be alive. quitted school and Chris Do has been my ghost mentor. really love him.

[@ratchetptnr]

In my room all alone.... I watched it on my laptop and at the end I was giving a standing ovation 👏👏 .

[@ChrisDo]

wow. wished you were there. you would've been the only one and I would have applauded you back.

[@ratchetptnr]

One day man...ONE DAY.

[@AwwwardsTV]

Love this, so glad you enjoyed it Praneeth, we are very lucky to have such great speakers come and speak for us! ☺️

Can't believe I lived 4 years without this talk and just found it now! :D Timeless lessons Cris!

Chris is the biggest giver in the game! Thank yo sir.

[@RocketNation07]

Watching this 2 years since then. Pure GOLD!!!

[@jasonlanglois7906]

I don't watch you every day, I don't watch even every month. I'm a exotic car mechanic that really has no business in marketing, typography, or design..but you keep on sucking me in. Your words are inspiring and powerful. May your glass stay full my friend.

[@wolfgangwaha7666]

Everyday when going to my dayjob by train I watch a Futur Video - best school ever!

[@miroslavskobzevs4260]

His presentation and keynotemaking skills are out of this world. You can feel that he is a designer.

[@paulhennessey3454]

Agreed

[@thefutur]

Thank you. whenever I feel insecure, I lean in on my design skills.

[@stripypaint]

I literally feel more positive every time I hear this man speak. Thanks for sharing.

[@AlbertAngmor]

I tell you

[@thefutur]

I appreciate it!

[@bradr7906]

Chris Do is, hand's down, one of the finest men on the planet. Thank you, sir.

[@deepthikrovi1829]

You are already a billionaire, Chris Do! Thank you for inspiring and educating us to do better every day!

[@Nezuko_yoyo]

His wife challenging him made him better in the end i hope i find a spouse too like that

[@ChrisDo]

yan zhao I was lucky.

[@tejaswinich1474]

You could think like that if you are ready to take a challenge

[@tavanegusmao9312]

I’d you don’t have someone to make you the right questions, do that yourself 😊

[@krystalTiger]

So agree. Can be very hard doing it alone without support.

[@joeallen2286]

Right?! I also hope I’m the man who can recognize it when I see it.

[@notlmpng]

Finding your voice is probably the hardest thing ever and yet you've created a blueprint that is so simple and straightforward. Genius is no longer huge invention such as the light bulb, its mental restructuring and improving or simplifying intrapersonal views and opinions to the point where personal growth is very easily achievable and finding the best version of yourself is as natural as breathing.

[@yuridelcastillo220]

Chris is a ZEN Master at communication with an intent to SERVE his audience by giving immense VALUE. . Chris you are TRAILBLAZER and a person with a heart of GOLD who gives back with an unconditional mind frame that "its BETTER to GIVE than it is to RECEIVE. . "

[@kanon1118]

Man this guy is so profound, and super generous, every time i feel like im not growing as a designer i just listen to this guy and i know what to do next!

[@thefutur]

Appreciate it

[@sandykl]

Honestly... I broke into tears watching this. Literally. I felt like a years of praying, strife, failures... finally.. the pieces are starting to fit and make sense. And seeing your example of the return from the gentlemen that you gave value too... literally that was the point that got me. When you give value you get value in return. It’s just knowing what value truly is. 🙏🏼

[@thefutur]

it's the give get principle Sandy. the more you give, the more you get.

[@vanessasiregar3008]

Chris Do, put minimal words in his slide yet share a lot of information and value through his presentation. Love it!

I didn't realize I needed to take notes until the video was over. He gave great tips.

[@cherrypiik7936]

This is so awesome, every 20 seconds I was thinking oh shit yeah I gotta remember that one! Thank you!!

[@SharonDeCaro]

Chris Do, you are a gifted storyteller and teacher. Thank you for this great talk! I always learn so much from you. I read in your Linkedin post you were a little nervous about it because you had not watched it, but this is golden. You hit the mark!

[@ChrisDo]

Sharon DeCaro Thanks. When I’m a little less nervous I’ll watch it.

[@DorlenSabbath]

This keynote deserves a million more views. Chris was amazing here👏🏾

[@basvandeneijkhof7230]

Chris Do, keeping it real and tangible. A real pioneer in teaching and approaching Marketing in a new way.

[@noahmukono]

This man Chris! Before I'd ask myself, How could some of us repay you for all that you've taught us? Now I say Teach others what we've learnt. Thank you for changing our lives.

[@thefutur]

that makes my heart smile. teach others.

[@ck-dm7bt]

here because of Chris do.

[@ChrisDo]

Thank you

[@MTtataa]

Chris DO es things one can hardly DO.. I've been convinced by his magnificent intellect for DO zen times and I DO n't regret it.

[@thenoddingbird6095]

Chris gets it! He gets what C.S. Lewis understood: that the school masters and teachers and principals have all gone through the problem-solving so long ago, that they can't remember why the student is experiencing this one specific problem when they should be experiencing the other 12 common problems they've been teaching for years (which equals not going through the process). Teach while learning, learning while teaching. Thankful for Chris and his team. Several jobs due to their gracious giving. His typography class is a must.

[@thefutur]

thanks for supporting us and for the mention!

[@jaslavie]

this was recommended to me at the most perfect time - constatnly doubting myself and needing to sell myself both as a person and my product (as a designer for a startup)

[@ivanbarbosa81]

"A dream with a plan is a goal".Loved it

[@AndrewE8001]

Chris Do, you are amazing. This video gives all of us pure value. Thank you.

[@trythisandthat4466]

The reason why I finally started my youtube channel after thinking about it for years. It's maybe too late, but I started to execute it. Thank you, Chris Do.

[@venylai]

Chris Do is such a brilliant storyteller. I’ve watched so many of his talks, and some of his stories told here, I’ve heard before, and yet he managed to still offer new lessons. I mean, the guy really is a master in “stealing” and “repurposing” content. He could tell one story in so many talks and in so many ways, that it offers so many different values. This, along with his “Mindset” talk is probably my favourites that I’ll talk over and over again. So grateful for him.

[@brunolopez368]

I love Chris Do. In 10 yrs from now I will be giving talks like he does. Step 1. Steel his content :)

[@CLesley89]

Every. Fucking. Time. Chris Do continues to prove why he is the Design Sensei.

[@sandeshuprety9887]

Been following Chris for a while and everything this man says , he is so honest with words, funny & practical. This man gives what other sells. I really wish the best for your future endeavors Chris.

[@nyekocreativity]

27:48 this is how I teach my all my kids as an English teacher overseas. Especially grade school kids. I don't make any particular effort to be perfect, if I don't know a word I look it up. Despite my imperfections I have "pulled off" hundreds of lessons I am super proud of. My journey has been something like artist turned graphic designer turned marketer (turned animation student) turned english teacher and now I'm ploughing back into graphic design via a pivot into UX design (because I LOVE how empathy is the key to UX). My life's vocation is also to pursue my art purely for the sake of doing it - not for the money. But in order to do that, I've had to build a completely different career. I love my story & there are many things I am proud of, but I feel people just get lost when I try to communicate my value. This talk has been super refreshing & blown me away. I would love to hear Chris Do's advice for how I could communicate my value despite having a very varied background. All the same, I will try to find my voice on my own.

[@ChristylBenford]

I know this video is 2 years old, but the wisdom Chris gives is so good and will always be relevant. So glad I found this...2 years later LOL 😂 ❤️

[@alipinedacreates]

There is really no better time to be alive when you have Chris Do and The Futur. They have tremendously helped me in moving forward with my career in both design and business. Knowledge, skills, humour and many more...I am truly grateful for all of these things that you've given to me.

[@ChrisDo]

Ali Omar Pineda I Appreciate it

[@AsheshRajbansh]

Chris, even in this pandemic lockdown for 54th day I can see and will do for new future and I will definitely be different. I truly learned.

[@bundybeamiana949]

Chris Do is so inspiring, like literally my biggest inspiration right now

[@hiphopkhoj2054]

sooner or later he will change the world We really need a Teacher/Guru Like Him in this World.

[@SacredSoulPractice]

He already is…

[@mslj4062]

So many challenges I face personally whether I totally believe in my abilities and then to have others view or interact with my strengths and weaknesses for me will be a challenge in itself. I am grateful to Mr. Do for his time & generousity of these educational seminars. Thank you so very much! ☕🙏🏼😁

[@djtonytoneBKS]

So Good. Audience > Customers alone is a KEY!!!! Thank You. Blessings Always!

[@charltonarts3023]

Am watching this today...and still love hearing a mentor speak. Thanks Chris, more fans incoming.

Whats knowing - such a nice pick, you generally don't remember the efforts you went through. Lots of golden words here. Thanks Chris. ❤️

[@runnergunner42]

"I'm not sure you're living up to your potential" Quick, painful and true, no wonder Chris married her

[@heidigfx]

Felt so lucky to have had the opportunity to meet him in person when he was invited to speak in Egypt :D he's even more fun, humble and awesome in person!

[@cre8tivestudio146]

Happy you am yet to meet him.

[@dillardparker7546]

I now know what I should do--and why--I am reminded once again that the failures are the seeds of my success. I only need to cultivate them to see them bear fruit.

[@indeus777]

Thanks Chris, I never stop learning from you.

[@anthonyomariesmith2262]

[@aamirafzal3992]

this is exceptional stuff, extremely satisfying and nourishing for the mind. Chris Do are among the special gems of this planet. They can mold anything into extraordinary.. The whole 30 mins of this talk were filled with great intellectual vibrance. Its such a pleasure, privilege and honor to listen to Chris. A man that never lets you down.

[@thefutur]

[@louispatrickgiguere5253]

[@fernandobocanegraART]

Thank you Chris!! Very valuable information, each video I learn so much!

[@socialsimodesign926]

I love this presentation Chris and the way you described marketing in a way that everyone can understand! Even if sales are part of marketing, it shouldn't be the main reason why you expose yourself on Social Media! But to provide value, to educate, to motivate, to inspire and why not to entertain the community!🙋‍♀️😺

[@SimonDroog]

Great talk, Chris Do! Got so much value from this talk. I especially loved the facechart exercise. Going to do the exercise myself right now.

please do and tag me on IG when you do.

[@gameisly7134]

Perfection is seen when your consistent in what you do and not made from you over thinking or thinking you must try to be but from you actually doing, actually being and not trying
