[@juliusjoosteofficial]

Thank you Chris and Thank you Mo. This video has definitely been worth my time. Long live The Futur! - See you in the Pro Group soon!

[@thefutur]

Awesome to hear that, looking forward to seeing you in there.

[@x489]

Not in a position to pay yet but I am gonna vote with my likes and comments to let the algorithm know that this is the kind of people and videos I wanna watch more of.

[@oleh6664]

Chris is a pure genius and there was a great interviewer. Thanks! Great job!

[@EjaxPlus]

Came for business advice. Walked away as a better parent. Thanks Chris 🫂

[@thefutur]

You’re very welcome ☺️

[@aamirrashidk]

I'm probably gonna watch this video at least two more times

[@lutherRain]

Truly appreciate the amount of vulnerability in this video in order to teach, personally I love delving into the more wo wo stuff in order to get a deeper understanding of who we are as people.

[@attariomuho]

I don't usually comment. I'm commenting because Chris shared what his therapist told him. Much love and appreciation!!!

[@percydobson1135]

I’ve been a FuturPro member for 2 years and it has created a fundamental shift in the way I think. Chris is truly the real deal and unbelievably generous (and fun!). And the community is so supportive and inspiring. If you’re on the fence…take one step off and just try it. You will get value you can turn into $$$ regardless of how long or short you stay 😊

[@misasouppy]

What an unbelievably great conversation. Holy moly. Thank you!

[@michaeltalamonti2099]

Keeping my promise and commenting and sharing with others. Thank you for your gifts!

[@iamthekaverik]

This places feels like taking a time machine back to the age of ancient philosophers and sitting in a room while one of them has a convo with his student.

[@emanelobaid1893]

WE LOVE YOU CHRIS DO!

[@EcomCarl]

Spot on about the essence of personal branding! It's crucial to remember that it extends beyond visuals to embody the values and promises you consistently demonstrate. Authenticity in this area can set a strong foundation for lasting relationships and credibility. 👍

[@victorpatricio17]

So good. Missed seeing you guys. It is good to be back watching ❤. Thanks for the value!!

[@wmckinno]

Man, you guys are always coming up with great content. I'm always playing catch up. Thank you

[@The1105mv]

As always, time is fast when I watch The Futur. I didn't even realize the video is over 50 minutes. Thank you Chris and Mo!

[@txmagician]

Trusting that I've already liked, commented, & subscribed, and telling the story, thus leading with generosity, is the reason I've liked, commented, & subscribed.

[@AmericanaJamDad]

Kudos! Y’all are just laying it down episode after episode. Thank you!

[@seanarussell]

What a great conversation. It made me realize that I listen to your content daily and rarely interact with your community. Sometimes just a reminder goes a long way. This lesson landed for me. Can’t wait to meet Chris in person and show my gratitude. Looking into your programs now.

[@DebiBrady]

Huge value. Liked and shared...been subbed for a long time and always click when I see your new content!

[@TanyaAlizaTV]

This video had me feeling all sorts of inspired! Thanks for getting so vulnerable.

[@thefutur]

My pleasure

[@emanfinding2603]

Awesome convo, Thank you!

[@MrgoldenRose]

This is such absolutely vital content being dropped at an extremely serendipitous time for me, but I imagine that it’s a good time for anybody who is looking to perform or lead. Love you guys. I will be buying.

[@thelifewithnate]

They say its too late to build a personal brand or anything in 2024, that's wrong! Now is the best time to start because its still so brand new. Cheers!

[@snellbeast_jasonsnell]

SUPER GOOD ONE here Chris! Especially as a dad of 2 little ones, great advice!

[@jafrasar1]

So here for your style of teaching.

[@everythingwave]

Chris, that was the best at 8:45. So true. I have jogged that lap too many times.

[@Its_Joyceeyy]

Always love to watch both of your content because everybody needs a reminder (specially for me as a brand & web visual designer 🙌🏽) 👩🏻‍💻

[@thelifewithnate]

You have such an awesome vlogging style! I just got my DJ Pocket Osmo 3 and I'm trying to start vlogging myself, any handy-dandy tips? :D

[@davedigital9314]

Im currently trying to build a personal brand. I've been on it for months and I haven't made much progress. This video was my breakthrough

[@74Hobbes]

As usual.... you guys are dropping gold nuggets. As a solopreneur, I appreciate each and every drop of content that you put out there. Thank you Team!

[@thelifewithnate]

Wishing you the best of luck on your solopreneur journey, its not an easy one but if you can pull it off, you can be set for your future!

[@74Hobbes]

@@thelifewithnate Thanks!

[@anavujcuf]

Wow! There's so much to unpack here that I could, honestly, write an essay. In just a few words, my biggest life lesson is that if you don't see yourself, no one else will.

[@leadgenjay]

Great insights on the impact of social media on branding

[@nicolaswalthery5854]

thank you for this great content. Thanks ! :)

[@mompreneur]

Amazing one! I barely comment on people’s videos but this one really shows Chris brand, and this is why I’m an avid follower.

[@thefutur]

Thank you MomPreneur

[@thenetworkhustle3592]

As usual amazing content. God bless your vision.

[@angelam.1416]

I was just thinking...where is Chris??? Haven't seen him since Sunday😂 Love the content!!!

[@Reddog71]

Thanks! I always learn something new and wind up sharing with my friends and family whether they want to hear it or not

[@EntrePinoySaTimog]

I see Chris I automatically hit like

[@iamthekaverik]

that ferris bueller bit was FIRE! nice touch

[@nikolaybonapartov7379]

Boy, I love Chris' talks on branding. BTW, I work in Performance marketing 😄 P.S. I wrote this comment when I was 20 mins into the video, but it apparently this video is so much more than just about branding. Loved it!

[@turbopl1]

your duo is a good dessert with coffee. thank you masters! 🫡

[@bekahjohnson1884]

Thank you!

[@theetravelhippie]

another brilliant episode, thank you

[@ThisDesignLife]

18 mins in - this is really resonating.

[@user-bz2oq7yp3i]

I adore this❤

Thank you Chris and Mo. I looked at your Pro community and definitely see the value. Live the chatbot by the way. However I get the feeling that it's not the right commjnity for me as I'm in the IT consultancy space and have nothing yo do with marketing

[@thefutur]

What do you need help with?

@@thefutur thanks for asking, truly. I need guidance on how to generate awareness of Microsoft Power Platform based solutions for digital transformation to businesses who are already Microsoft clients but are not fully using those capabilities. I am a consultant and developer on this space and am working on my personal brand showcasing scenarios and pitching the wonders of this tech (I truly believe on that). I am currently hiring a contractor to help me out with my website and brand, but am not sure on how to pitch this.

[@MAVERICK_UG]

Thanks Chris appreciate this 🙏 🇺🇬

[@sandraa.m714]

Thank you.

[@RacksAG]

thank you

[@the.akshayvarma]

@chrisdo can you do a version of this episode directed towards small businesses doing b2b. Branding for small b2b businesses. How culture plays into the brand and how to convey that across to organizations larger than yourself such that even if you are not longer an active part of the business, how would we be able to contribute to it.

[@cayplusconnects]

When the Futur goes like emotional, transactional, and shoot for the heart of the audience, it connects. Thank you for the gift that you are, Chris-theFutur and the present. Super!👍

[@thelifewithnate]

It's funny because personal branding has been growing in popularity with the rise of social media. Just the fact that a single, normal person can start their own personal brand is amazing and with enough effort, they can even make it into a career! Appreciate the vulnerability though with the other sides of branding.

[@oneconcept7032]

After the almighty ALLAH, Chris has changed my mindset and my life! Really appreciate what you are doing.

[@iamthekaverik]

37:37 What do I believe The Futur is selling to me? The belief that I can make a good, fulfilling and impactful living, using a creative skillset. How… by teaching the business and psychology skillset that makes it possible.

[@shimaarafat4663]

I'm trying to access free resources but I didn't. after I wrote my email and name nothing appeared after I checked the check box I thought this was wired. could you check that? I really appreciate any help you can provide.

[@thecoachadviser7926]

I would love to hear Erwin tell that story. Would you happen to know the title of the video he told that story in?

[@CodyHill82]

Do your courses work for coaching/mentoring?

[@thefutur]

Depends on which course.

[@designingjuan]

Mo - you don't have enough books

[@eikonagrfxsmedia]

Do you agree that some reputations (brands) are built on things that aren't true or are harmful? You can almost call some them cults.

[@eikonagrfxsmedia]

Tribalism isn't always a good, especially if it's not based on truth. I think family is a better word. Don't you think?

I wish it was that easy.

[@NotThatOlivia]

apple sux (and u know that)

[@thelifewithnate]

I'm an Android user, so ditto! :D All jokes aside, why do you not like Apple too much?

[@NotThatOlivia]

@@thelifewithnate not worth the money spent per device and software appstores (even if hardware is nice, but there are plenty premium android devices that kick apple's ass)

[@iamthekaverik]

As an android veteran, I think apple's great... but it's not for everyone. To say it sucks discounts another person's experience. If you say "apple sucks, for me" that's more believable.

[@dillon4060]

This guy had to go to a therapist to figure out how to discipline his own children? What a clown.
