[@PhatNguyenCreative]

It's never a waste of time watching the Futur's content. A cup of coffee and a few videos from you guys is the best way to start a day.

[@thefutur]

daily diet.

[@newtronbadave]

Totally!!

[@nkcubekoshumane2903]

Never bruh

[@adamkarmi4355]

100%

[@worldsoop]

That’s how I do it every morning 👌

[@holmhelena]

I want to applaud those young men for being ambitious. I grew up in an environment where ambition was not applauded, but mocked, so It can be easy to give up when you are young. As Chris said, you can achieve anything. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

[@jonathangonza]

That is very true. People put you down and what hurts the most is that it's the ones you love the most that do it and makes it a sure defeat in a lot of people's lives.

[@holmhelena]

jonathangonza Yes, unfortunately. It can be very painful and destructive. Support is very important. If you can't get support from your loved ones, the best is to let It go and try to find someone who is not going to project their failures onto you. I was thought from very young age that nothing good will ever come to me, that I will always struggle. The damage done got deeply rooted. In that case, you have to practise mindfulness to minimise any possible future damage since It is very hard to change something you learned very early on. And to let go of the anger or any resentment. People around you sometimes just don't know any better. In their minds, they think they are protecting you.

[@holyshiet787]

until you prove everyone that you are best at something in that way that you can have a stable career without any risk like every normal job , everyone will have doubt in you it doesn;t matter if they are your parents or friends because everyone wants you to be secure in this time like having a stable job / paycheck / insurance / starting your own family.

[@holmhelena]

Doubt is understandable, but discouragement and dismissiveness is something else. That's what I was talking about.

[@MariaFloresArt]

And women!

[@andrewadams9666]

Something i started saying is "i can make a logo and other graphics" now as a designer i tell my clients "i can take your ideas and turn them into reality". We can work together to solve your creative problem.

[@JanneWolterbeek]

I appreciate how The Futur brings useful content to both beginners and experts. And yet, they're all worth seeing regardless your position on the career ladder!

[@timenixe]

"How can I come across as an expert?" Here's the thing. As a business owner, I look to hire the most connected and relevant person. Which is often a much younger person than myself (as tech is always updating). I just need to know you're reliable for the price, and will deliver a good result. That's all I care about.

[@RobertLoyale]

Here’s the clear answer, do the work. If you want to be known as the expert, do 5 case studies a week on real, local businesses in your area. Tag them in it. (If it’s good, they’ll share it or contact you). And another thing, know the client you are trying to pursue. Timothy the business owner of Dark Pikachu Tv on KZbin with 9k subscribers will not pay $10k for a website. However, Brittany the marketing manager from Herbal Tea and Steam Therapy will pay $10k for a campaign which includes new landing pages for a website.

[@jbhermida2831]

Chris is the best. I always start my day watching thefutur videos. It changed how I see myself as an artist, bigtime!!

[@deliaahlschlager7444]

I do the same. I can't wait to sit in traffic in the morning and listen to Chris. The emotional and insightful value I get from the Futur is insane ❤️

[@gabbbbbz]

Same here haha!!

[@theliastry]

You always have the best advice. On the most basic level, thank you for not being condescending to young people & choosing to empathize with and inspire us instead. It’s hella scary putting yourself out there especially when you’re new, it’s good to be heard & not have concerns discounted

[@thefutur]

These guys are great. I admire them.

[@abduldesign117]

I'm in my last year in my graphic communication in university and most students don't have a clear goal to what type of design field they'd like to go into yet which is not a bad thing because everyone is at different stages. Would love an episode on a career path for graduate or how to plan things out from the start. Great video as always!

[@JemmaKate]

Abdul design literally handed in my last grad project today!! This would be so handy

[@ralphwarom2514]

XD do a lot of work. I think sitting back and asking what you want is good, but going out and doing different things is better. Also, sometimes basic discipline is the answer. I think most students have goals, but then don't focus on discipline, fail, then change goals. (From my own experience when I was younger XD)

[@hervensay]

2 years later, this video is still relevant.

[@pegahsm.]

I feel like anyone who’s come across TheFutur’s contents has such a higher advantage specially as a designer! These videos that are FREE are literally life changing. I am truly privileged. Thank you team!!

[@bcuziwasbored]

I recently found this channel, an I can't stop watching it. This video helped me tremendously. I have been experiencing something extremely similar. As someone who is young and doesn't have as much experience, I find it hard to evaluate and convey my worth to clients. The problem I have the most is undervaluing myself. When I work on a project, I usually feel like I'm faking it. Even though I know I am completely capable, I get that feeling of "who am I to do this" or "why should anyone listen to my opinion."

[@thefutur]

Welcome to the Futur

[@filipfelbar2001]

I think I can safely say that your content has given me more insight into the design world and motivation than what I learned in the last 3 years of design school. Keep the videos coming! :)

What a great video! Listen guys at the end of the day it comes down to experience. You’re doubting yourself because you’re saying to yourself “I don’t have that much experience compared to others” WHO CARES! Just get out there and DO! Continue to master your craft. Do what chris said and don’t be afraid to share your perspective. If you just stick with it the inevitable will present itself and you’ll wake up one day and you’ll know you’re a badass lol!

[@nadjar.6601]

My perspective on weaknesses is that there are none. It always depends on the perspective and the circumstances. Chris gave this great example where he turn 'being young' from a weakness to a strength and I believe the same can be done for any trait. Looking for details all the time is a good trait as accountant but might get you stuck as when you have to focus on the big picture as a CEO. Being funny all the time might not be suited in a situation where you have to make serious decisions. So, there are only traits or preferences that fit better in some circumstances than in others. The art is to know how and when to use these traits and to be aware of the consequences.

Show us what you are capable of and lead the way.

[@Myxlpltx]

The entire episode is great but this section here spoke to me the most. Keep up the great content the Futur!

[@djstarsign]

Best advice for young people who are passionate and are in love with the culture of design is to commit to however long it takes while also committing yourself to do the best work possible. This will drastically cut down how long it will take to stand out. There’s always a need and when you become a person that people are talking about, the work will find you. But don’t rush it. Concentrate on the craft of design. In the meantime, network your ass off. And the biggest piece of advice I can give you is to be confident. A mediocre confident design is going to be far more successful than many brilliant designers with no confidence. You’re designing for people to solve people problems in a design context. Understand people, understand who you are trying to reach, ask questions of your clients in an empathetic way to solve THEIR problems. Use your creativity to align the tools and elements to craft possibilities. You’re going to have terrible clients in the beginning and only do work for terrible people if you don’t. Your value is far more than how great your design looks. If you can identity areas of potential and the client is serious about the work, they’ll listen and they’ll thank you for uncovering areas to work on. And they will pay you. Don’t be afraid of doing work for less money in the beginning but use every project as an opportunity to land bigger and better projects. Understand that you’re competing against a crowded field and only the people most willing to work harder because they have an undying passion are going to make it through the tough times. If you want a formula for quick success, it’s not going to happen, unless you have rich friends who will hype you up as their designer friend who kicks ass. Most of us won’t have that. So work, work, work, and work on your confidence. If your client feels rewarded, they’ll spread the word about how amazing it was to work with someone as talented as you.

I had submitted a question on the lat round of submissions, and the first designer asked the same thing in a much simpler, cleaner way. I greatly appreciate that

[@podcastmariapopa1]

I don't know why, but this discussion seems like a discussion that Chris Do would have with his own two boys. It seems so sincere. And the introvert humor :) "..you are not in danger of saying that just today because you are not an expert of solving all the problems " :))))

[@ArmadusMalaysia]

i'm 35 now, and since school I've been doing my own logos, my own banners, my own websites. Everything I do is creating on my own thinking that I what I had was not enough for any company. And I just kept expanding my knowledge to doing my own 3D designs, learn coding for my own purposes without earning a dime. I now realize that I didn't take any student loans for the skills, and I have 17 years of experience.

[@shifuantonio]

Being compensated by “this is what I do” versus being compensated by “This is who I am” or “this is who I have become,” puts you in a different sales position - which takes time and venturing.

[@peterstatsenko3142]

One important issue here your sentence is missing: 'This is what I do for YOU'. Their pain and problem at the forefront.

[@losangeles9320]

I'm an ACCD from 2000 and this is absolutely true. We focus on design and forget the business side. Know your worth and don't be afraid to fail or lose a client. It's part of the learning process. The only rule is to always give your best work/design because you can always look back and say you produced your best and the client didn't have the vision/budget/integrity or wsa just cheap to pay you what you were worth. But your work will eventually bring clients who will pay for your skill/worth.

[@JacobPatrick1]

His weakness is sometimes coming off as arrogant and unempathetic. Nevertheless, I appreciate all his many strengths especially making these videos others can learn and grow from. 'A Brand is not what you say it is, but what others say it is'

I couldnt quite put my finger on it, but this is it.

[@homebusinessdad]

@16:01 that silence when Chris said "I have none (weaknesses)...LOL that silence said "emmmm I could spot a few...." LOL!!! It's all good. Love Futur's content, NEVER DISAPPOINTED...always both education, inspirational and motivational!!!! Best channel on KZbin within this niche!!! By far. There's NO one I know and a team dropping such VALUE each and every time. Also they are not trying to desperately BUILD a list...(even though that list grows) or bombarding you with CTA's, even though they have them (online courses, Chris' tours), it's done SO WELL, there's NO RESISTANCE to wanting to purchase, because by the time I see an offer from their channel, or an Ad, I'M ALREADY A LOYAL CONVIINCED FOLLOWER, that Futur has EXCEPTIONAL VALUE, and I NEED everything they are selling. I love TEACHING....I love speaking....I've been to different countries around the world, and I HOPE one day I can make a living just teaching! Im 41 yrs old

[@EPHONIC]

This is awesome, Chris. You need to do a video with people (like myself) who have been in the industry for 20+ years and are trying to still position themselves as an expert in something after playing the part of Jack of all Trades. I'd love to hear your take on how someone in their 40s can reposition themselves to stay relevant and competitive.

[@natasha.elaine]

[@imagist.]

Love you Chris. Thanks for following yourself and being honest

[@AC_SLATE]

I get what he's saying about trying to look like the professional charging a lot being/looking so young. Although I agree your work will speak for itself, you can't always expect people just to find you through your work online. You Will have to visit businesses, set up meetings and sell yourself especially when your coming up. My best advice for his question would to look professional and be confident when your meeting with people. Have a portfolio to show for and never negotiate on your prices because you lower your worth at that point. You don't need every job you need the right ones.

[@oyggraphics9596]

this a big problem with school, all teachers say to be broad and not focus on one path, but once you go out to the job world you need to clearly go for one direction UI, Logo, digital, Print, yes they are interchangeable, also school seams like they have teachers that just are there for the pay check and are not there to help students grow or achieve a job

[@dtdan5529]

I feel that it doesn’t matter how old you are, that you have the opportunity to learn something new from every person you interact with, however big or small small that piece of information is. I learn from students everyday and they are from 11 to 18 years of age, they can approach tasks in a way I’ve not considered, or teach me things that are a part of their culture, even something as small as the meaning of a new slang word being used by them. We are always learning, and age doesn’t matter when it comes to the teacher you learn from if they teach you something you didn’t know and now previously.

12:23 I find very interesting when people who are learning something shares what she/he has being doing because usually they have a lot of enthusiasm and are discovering older resources (books, people keen to that area of interest) as well as new resources because either they go to formal school or read a lot. That's a lot of value. Also you can see in their recent videos how their ideas or concepts about their topic of interest is maturing or shaping for good

[@LoudMime]

Mr. Chris Do, at first glance, is the type of mentor we think we typically get in 9-5 job. We generally hate and cringe at what they say and look past through it. Maybe because, we think we know better. It's okay to think that way, this is a media platform, KZbin, we can investigate and learn further of Chris. Even if his exact words are said by other speakers gazillion times. What sets Chris apart from them is how convincingly, intimidatingly confident he is at what he says! That's why some haters leave batshit comments here, that what he says is just bull. The problem why we have this perspective, some mentors only show sh*t at the surface, copy others, and doesn't encourage growth nor exemplify this internally and outwardly with themselves. I don't like mentors like Gary Vee, because as much as he's frank, he doesn't show empathy to the struggle of others or how they process things. I thought Chris Do was the same cookie as Gary. Yet, Chris' genuinely LISTENS, and his words are truth bombs. Being Asian, and I think Asians as most of his audience too, he learned the biz the hard way. There's a sense where I need to reach out to him. You think he's mundane and apathetic, then you realize Chris is just secretly a Zen Master. He gives you the real world and how it's crazy and you should definitely not conform to the negative and the mediocrity, and he's got an insane skill of analysis. He always say we should all work hard towards our goal,competitively!!! Invest our time to our passions. Chris listens the most in a room full of people that's why he shimmers like a freaking Buddha. And you dress extremely cool btw Chris

How to Position Yourself as an Expert If you have no Experience

[@Godkiller08]

I'm specializing in visual identity for healthcare and this is exactly what I needed right now. If I had one thing to say for all you guys, it's that people call you because they think you know more than they do on a specific problem.

[@marioronci5338]

good niche, design is truly needed there

[@santiagomunez1723]

Expertise level of Creativity : 1 - Tactical Level : graphic & visual. 2 : Interaction Level : conversation, discussion, relational. 3 : Strategic Level : Branding, Perception, stimulation. As young guns, i used to think that visual is everything. As times goes by, i learn strategic level of creativity is to solve complex problems. When you to try to solve complex (Level 3) problems, that will include interaction and tactical level.

That is so true ‘ people are looking for young ideas’. This includes within large corporations (if you want to go that way). These companies receive young fresh perspectives from internship program.

When i had no portfolio, i had the same skill. But it was hard work to gain trust of people. I worked on my portfolio. Now, the trust aspect is achieved and price negotiation is the only concern.

[@GadgetsGearCoffee]

I made a video on my channel called: "My designer career journey" . Def UX/UI is big. I switched to that from studying architecture & industrial design, getting random design jobs that were not super related to my 2 degrees, being unemployed a few times. I didn't have direct academic UX/UI experience, I had done a couple of websites - that's it. I built up my professional confidence, worked on believing in myself, saw my value and worth, that me asking many questions and the RIGHT questions and connecting the dots was of great value and I jumped into it and now recruiters are chasing me for once AND I freelance too on top of it. I don't just build e-commerce websites, honestly Wix does a better job at that than me, and that would bore me. I am still missing technical aspects but that's the least important part. I work on complicated projects (car tech, medical applications, train track applications, etc.) and understanding that and boiling down the goals of the project to best suit the users. I'm excited for everyone to embark on their journey, a big thing is believing in yourself.

Thanks, Chris, for sharing your experience and your point of view. It really inspires me and other people to keep looking for meaning in this world and to work hard and with passion for what we love.

[@StorytellingHeadshots]

In my opinion “documenting” and sharing the journey to learning, is a threat to actually doing deep work that will develop the skills and depth you need to have something to say later.

[@warrenwong4518]

Needed this right now. Thanks.

[@thefutur]

Glad I could help!

[@XxxXxx-gq2qy]

admitting your humble beginnings and hustling your way up is better and more rewarding than trying to portray a "not yet achieved persona"

[@uniworkhorse]

Why is Chris the essence of pure confidence

[@thefutur]

Haha

[@douchymcdouche169]

Because this is what bullshit artists know how to do best.

[@PalmBakerMusic]

As I mentor & coach individuals in their careers + businesses - I often run into them asking "But how do I know I'm not a fraud." I used to spend hours explaining core steps towards confidence development + tracking successes. Now I just send them this video
