After the critique of common pitfalls in outbound marketing communication, really appreciate that Chris mentioned awareness he himself is requesting a “transaction” at the end - but it will lead to a transformation. Makes me open to the offer b/c I feel like he cares.

[@thefutur]

Thank you. I’m glad to hear that we are earning your attention.

[@mikephiri1256]

I don't know if you will eventually read this, but I just want to take this opportunity to thank you for all you do. you have helped transform my business and most importantly my life. Every now and then I listen to your podcasts and am always amazed. About 8 months ago I was still lodging at my parents' home but your lessons on building value for myself and charging clients what am really worth helped me get better amount of money and now am able to afford most of the things I could only dream of. Whenever I get lost, I come here to learn.

[@thefutur]

You got this Mike! Thank you 🙏

[@balex556]

well one of the most effective ways to engage,and boost your sales is creating website and an app to brand your business and am an expert I can help you with this services

[@nashfaulk]

Chris clearly has strong self-awareness and vision , we should not scratch the service on how valuable vision is for the foundation of your business. Indeed, it is what your business is built on.

[@taiasoau8414]

I've found your videos at such a peak point in my life right now. I want to change everything I know about working and business and want to create something that works, and I can't stop watching your videos. I've got my notepad literally glued to the screen because of this knowledge. Thank you so much my man.

[@garyfodor854]

This video was amazingly valuable for me and my business. We're in the very beginning and I wanted to build a community on social media, but I see that takes time and as we run out of money for rent, food etc. it's stressing me and I can't make content anymore. So yeah I really need to focus and prioritise direct sells. Thanks so much guys! ❤️🙏🏻

[@SGDCTVDUBAI]

You can get a sponsor or investor. Dont give up on your mission!

[@flexivalets1213]

What's your @’s?

[@ONCE.Daren.Quebada]

I’m on the same Boat. I’ll be on a posting schedule for a month then not be active for two months. I’m back to scheduling and giving myself a reasonable goal of 3 months straight

[@elmikadir7653]

yeah, same here.. i'm trying to create content and be myself and teach/help others.. but sometimes its at the expense of my core business.. guess we just need to prioritise and be patient, and keep on the small steps with the bigger goal in mind....

[@okcordial]

This man is really genius and really humble at the same time. ❤

[@saturns_ring]

This bit from 9:27 - 11:25 is exactly what has taken place these past few months for our business and KZbin channel. I didn't know how to describe it until Chris said it. I'm treating my audience as if they were my younger self. Full circle moment over here, thank you all again for the amazing content!

[@runnergunner42]

I love this video because the process that Chris covers is exemplified perfectly in the video itself. The purpose of this content is to help us, to educate us and to get us thinking about how we conduct our business. But just as Chris explained towards the end where a transformational relationship can momentarily transition into a transactional one, we get a couple of clearly labelled promos for the euro tour throughout the video and at the end, once we're already invested and we've gained a lot of value already.

[@unbaguiae]

not just the video but if u see the playlist entirely it makes even more sense

[@letylove]

After the critique of common pitfalls in outbound marketing communication, really appreciate that Chris mentioned awareness he himself is requesting a “transaction” at the end - but it will lead to a transformation. Makes me open to the offer b/c I feel like he cares. 🙌🏽🏆🥇

[@thefutur]

Thank you Lety. I do care.

[@TheRealKevinHolmes]

I love the part at the end about your identity. I just recently started to dig deep into my "why" and I've come to the conclusion that what I am or how I want to identify myself is that I'm a Creative. I specialize in graphic design, and even further into visual identity design, but really, who I am at my core, is someone who is naturally good at anything art related, and I love creating and bringing things in my and other peoples minds to life visually. and being a Creative is just sums up all of who I am at my core!

[@Husski_AP]

create then.

[@johnwildauer]

going hunting vs. going fishing

[@Ayub_Muhammed]

Good description tho

[@TanyaAlizaTV]

This is fantastic! I especially appreciate your tip about speaking directly to a younger version of yourself. It really helps with visualizing your audience and tailoring your content to their needs. Thanks for sharing!

[@labanlefleur1512]

Man this video came at the right time in my life! Thank you so much for these rich points! It's just what I needed help with to get my business lifted off the ground. I have also the desire to teach and with my current role as creative lead at my work it's always a satisfying feeling when teaching the new interns and upcoming designers.

[@videohandlanger]

I love it that the content becomes longer again!

[@thefutur]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@user-kk7oh6iu7p]

I keep finding myself coming back to this video. It's just so relatable and inspiring!

[@richardmoore8614]

Hey! I really appreciate the breakdown of my process. Spot on! All the love to you both - great vid 💕

[@Bigbitebilliards]

Incredible content. Chris and team deserve everything they have earned. Thank you for all you do

[@thefutur]

Thank you

[@deyaf.8679]

Hi! I'm an interior designer. I Love all your content. Love your way of teaching. It's the only marketing content I can really understand.

[@thefutur]

Thank you 🙏

[@nashfaulk]

It is a spectrum , based on vision . Business owners gotta get clear and honest about their vision. And I think that is the root cause of all business issues.

[@Behtarin_podcast]

I got goosebumps when he said talk to your younger version. Something clicked In my mind bro. Thank you for the great content ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@FatherOfMySon]

This video answered so many questions I’ve been asking for about 2 years of me “Learning” and more “Learning” because I didn’t know how or where to start. What a gem of a video thank you both very very much.

[@renaldowilson89]

This is hands down the best video i've watched on the channel, slightly bias because I've talked to both speakers in person and understand how much knowledge they have.

[@thefutur]

Thank you 🙏

[@eric_martindale1711]

Mo is killing it. This was a brilliant move, and an interesting observation of how big movers delegate to do bigger and bigger things.

[@hunterwebbfilms]

This was beautifully done. The clarity of information and nuanced understanding of where someone might be on their own journey is a level of awareness that I don't often come across with KZbin business advice. Thank you for this and for all you share!

[@senhuiqiu8253]

The series with chris is pure gold! Thank you for putting this out!

[@BrandNowAsia]

I like that Chris talks about his origin story about being an immigrant; it resonates with me as a Thai-American. Like Chris, I want to help others improve, and it also improves my game. During the pandemic, I got to put together some Udemy courses based on my knowledge and experience in marketing and PR. I recently reflected on this as a granddaughter of a school's headmaster, plus aunts and uncles in the education field. As we age and achieve many milestones of our own, we are to leave what we learned for others as a stepping stone into their greatness. If you are reading this, Chris, a big THANK YOU for being an awesome teacher.

[@austinandriese]

Chris. I can’t tell you how much value this mini series provides. You have a super fan here and when I make it I will be sure to return the value

[@thefutur]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@Hephthehomie]

Dude this video is so meta. You're giving us the info and framework you use for the content made by you wonderful people at the futur. I speak for everyone watching this, thank you so much for your service!

[@brittawein]

You guys the boldest creators ever!! Awesome You literally live bold away. 😀

[@HopSpotProductions]

This series is prob one of my favorite groups of content on the channel so far! You guys are the best. Love the vibes and value. You're really helping me as a newb freelancer, believe I can make it 🔥🔥🔥

[@thefutur]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@rubengodoyislas-1214]

​@@thefutur recibe un cordial saludo para todos los miembros del equipo de trabajo de la empresa marketing y comunicación y a los medios de comunicación

[@tajeand]

Thank you so much for this. I decided to become a business owner at 19 in 2019, and since the pandemic (2020-2022), the small business support has came and went. I’ll put these tips to good use.

[@mattlovecreator]

Thanks for sharing this. Very powerful comparison. I'm with you on the long game. Offer value, grow community, and make more longterm sales. I love that you call it transformational. That's the magic word for me. 🧙‍♂️🌟🙏

[@tahirkamal1878]

This is something so deep, Chris you guys are doing a great tutorial worth millions I'm in the phase where I am still fighting to get money to pay rent and eat and survive, so I won't be able to do this, I've Britten it down and hope I can get to it before I forget, thanks a lot.

[@reems3248]

Thank you Chris you really described me when you say ( creating content and starving 😢 ) I was confused between the two strategies but now I have clear picture. I’m a super fan from Saudi I’ve been following the Futur since 2016 and I’ve purchased 4 courses

[@thefutur]

Hello Reem

[@SGDCTVDUBAI]

Loads of respect for you Chris and love your style and not caring what people think about you!

[@thefutur]

Thank you 🙏

[@yacoubham]

i can confirm that is totally true, I have seen huge results doing sales this path of attraction thank you a lot for this

[@thefutur]

Wonderful!

[@josecreative8980]

You should do one in Canada, lots of people would attend! Thanks for all the value you are giving Chris!

[@thefutur]

I will.

[@SGDCTVDUBAI]

If GOD Wills!

[@aldorodriguez7310]

You are a great teacher. An artist of the teaching craft. The new generation of academia. A complex message delivered in a way that clicks.

[@thefutur]

Thank you

[@mdinternetmarketing]

Thank you for sharing! At the heart of attraction marketing is the concept of building trust and credibility with potential customers. By providing valuable content that helps solve their problems or answer their questions, businesses can establish themselves as subject matter experts and thought leaders in their industry. 👍

[@pierceotoole3080]

Thank you for this amazing content to you Chris and EVERYONE involved that allows this sort of channel to exist. ❤

[@basictoglamchictravels]

I appreciate the effort put into helping other creatives. Thank you!

[@x3notrone]

I have been waiting for this for a long time . Thanks for releasing this

[@danispeaksfinances]

I could relate to 11:41! This is a episode to return to weekly, monthly until you have mastered the framework. So happy I found this video. It’s definitely putting some pieces together for me.

[@wgency]

Great n Weird! we wrote nearly the same principles in our agency whiteboard three or two days before you post this. you really spoiling our approach dude! 🖤

[@thefutur]

Haha. Sorry.

[@wgency]

@@thefutur glad to be in the same line 🙌

[@sonnyshubhi4651]

[@heyjasminek]

23:07 i agree! Such a powerful quote ✨ | the juicy bits that arise from the exchange within live teaching are sooo energizing. Sometimes even more fun than the main topic😅

[@OdingMusicYT]

Watched 5/5 series! What a gem!

[@thefutur]

Thank you

[@darrelljames4159]

This was a powerful video! Had not heard of the hybrid system before. I love it! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@thegrowthconscious]

Very seldom i will start and finish the entire thing up to the last second. this is definitely one of the most valuable, honest and timeless pirces of content in the internet that will be watched over and over again. I feel more glad and proud to have subscribed in this channel. Thank you and more power. If ever you will go to Philippines, i will help you selling your tickets. I will be there to attend too

[@thefutur]

Thank you 🙏

[@mguerra79]

Of course that I would watch all the series... And of course that I would love to attend the Porto's Workshop in Europe, but I just can't afford it right now... Of course I'll rewatch all of the videos, which I've already did... and will redo! Thank you both, but of course thank you Chris to be this mentor (I follow you and Jose's for several years now, since the Skool) and to get here for all of us, as you are! Thank you!

[@thefutur]

Thank you. Best of luck to you.

[@patrick-resendiz]

Thank you! Value. Every. Time.

[@thefutur]

You're so welcome!

[@gennagraphics]

You guys always inspire us. There is a lot of value information in this video

[@thefutur]

Thank you Austin! see you in the future.

I wish I could make it one day to one of your workshops and see you in person. Thank you Chris & Mo ❤

[@SocialwithRocki]

11:36 this is many of our traps I’m glad I figured it out !

[@ardobril]

Love it! Thank you Chris and Mo. I appreciate the effort put into helping other creatives. This came at the best time in my career. Can't wait to apply all this knowledge to my marketing efforts.

[@mattqanimation7372]

Thanks!

[@yungfinertw593]

lot of knowledge givens , thanks for this video

[@MattCupan]

I like this guy Richard's technique. He's still actually working with clients.

[@richardmoore8614]

I love being a practitioner, Matt! Thank you.

[@isaacleecollins7861]

This video is so good. I’ve watched it three times this morning.

[@thefutur]

Wow, thank you!

Wow, this content is hitting me right in the feels. I relate to so many of the scenarios described here. It's like the content was tailor-made for me. It's impressive how it can bring back memories and motivate you to step out of your comfort zone. Huge thanks to you Chris and Mo for creating such amazing content! ❤

[@fashionscentts]

I needed this right now. I'm trying to build a personal business and cold emailing is next.

[@sialhassannawaz7094]

Hey. Glad to know you are building your own business. May i know what kind of business you will go for. Maybe i can help and suggest some ways to help you in your marketing.

[@Improvemypronunciation]

Thank you for your precious gift with us.

[@bewelsworld]

The interviewer asked great questions! Thank you for this video.

[@thefutur]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@alexandrepfeil]

Really valuable, thanks for giving Chris!

[@thefutur]

My pleasure!

[@joshuaamazu8527]

This is sweet. How about adding your purpose and your vision?At1:52 you said he rarely posts any other thing such as emotional or personal stories. I see a lot of content advice and personally I think a lot of them contradict each other. One person says this, the next person says another. Thanks for this content. It was helpful.

[@thefutur]

Do what is helpful to you. What might work for one might not work for another.

[@Supreme.Diaries]

This was executed in a excellent manner

[@fastfutureforwardbychristi9064]

soooo much LOVE for THE FUTUR and CHRIS DO, thanks for all your amazing work! given that I'm following the futur for quite a while;-)

[@thefutur]

Much appreciated!

[@DJTictoOfficial]

Thank you guys, amazing series and really valuable to have such well integrated people share this stuff. Big up!!❤

[@thefutur]

Our pleasure!

[@ezothegreatt]

Does this pertain to clothing brands

[@Priyadarshan_Nag]

Chris never fails to amaze us! Thank you for sharing your wisdom Chris. Keep up the good work. Much love from India 🇮🇳

[@MsKingwa]

This is super duper true..... I shared one of Chris's videos with a friend yesterday, telling her about how amazing his work is, I'm almost a self appointed marketer of his in that way. Meanwhile there's a content creator I am contemplating buying an online program from but i will be surprised if I ever share information about his programs with anyone because I do not have any enthusiasm or fondness for him.

[@rapplayback]

Really nice video, straight to the point and informative. I really enjoyed it and the hybrid approach was an interesting point of view

[@OGnaddi]

About to post my first short film on my brand’s account! Thanks for the great info to know before posting, I’ll send a link when it posts on Monday :)

[@hseindesigns]

Just when I needed it 🙏

[@malikrumi1206]

Hey Chris: I've watched a couple your videos over the last week or so. I have enjoyed them as well as learning from them. As it happens, I was already planning to use LinkedIn as my primary channel. So when you introduced me to Richard Moore, it was like I hit a trifecta...and now I am also your newest subcriber. 😊 Thanks.

[@hugojovel4351]

love the video, extremely helpful. I just want to give a small feedback to y'all for the production team, the music in the background is slightly too loud when he speaks. more towards the end of the video. much love and thank you guys for everything.

[@thefutur]

Thanks for the tips!

[@cetriyasArtnComicsChannel]

So much so much good stuff. It's so natural to listen to and will relisten

[@chigozie_anaba]

Chris Do is a genius.

[@wombmenempowerment]

Thank you for sharing ! Value added for sure

[@kmep3649]

21:54 Chris just used the hybrid approach😊. Definitely gained value, muchas gracias❤

[@Inflightmuzik]

Hybrid model makes sense. Nowadays, more and more people are waking up to the idea that your business does not end with the transaction. Communities are being built on the backend of these transactions, sometimes before the sale happens. The content and strategy can and probably should be in some instances, transactional and transformational content, services and products by creating community around your brand. It's literally a must in the two industries I market and create content in, music and cannabis.

[@jonathan_ayala]

Such insane information. Thank you!

[@thefutur]

Glad it was helpful!

[@funlabsdesignstudio]

Aka Balancing your Chi! 🙌🏼🙏🏼😁👍🏼 Chris dude you're Awesome! Many thanks on all your intel! I like that you are true to what you really like for your branding too! That is hugely important to me also because even if something is paying the bills and you're bloody miserable doing it that's not why I got into Illustration and Graphic Design. It about creating what you enjoy creating and putting your quality of work, excitement, drive, focus into exactly what you do...even if it's multifaceted. It's finding yourself basically within your body of work, sales, business strategies more organically to what works best for you and your clients methodologies. At least that's what I do and it works for me! 😎👌🏼 I will send as many I know aka younger versions of myself your way because you definitely helped me out with your videos yrs ago and today!

[@thefutur]

Thank you

[@lmcustomerch]

Thank you so much, it’s help me ideas on how to market my biz.. wish me luck😊

[@Kanesh1232]

Hey, I would like to say thank you so much, for all the values. I started affiliate marketing... but bit struggle to follow up. I just across this video. I get more tresure through this video.Thank you again.

[@user-yy7zq3qr3f]

Very informative quiet a lot to take for an internet newbie like myself as I’m looking to figure out strength of targeted market to fully commit financially

[@sialhassannawaz7094]

Glad to know you are trying your best. May i know what is your business. I maybe able to help you and give you some useful suggestions.

[@jp.wizardry]

Thanks once again Chris... ❤

[@eddygatlin]

I will be dropping some thanks money for this; i think i have had my epiphany at least i hope so, love the mindful, empathetic and capitalising philosophies discussed in this, a real buffet to pick from

[@Kyrah]

This video was super helpful

[@NowYourMad]

I got so much value from this thanks bro ! I’m 29 and starting my empire up , it’s never too late and I’m grateful for the gems I grabbed from this video .

[@thefutur]

It's never too late, you got this!

[@nashfaulk]

Vision is the seed from which all things grow

[@internetshaquille]

loving gary v has got to be one of the brightest red flags out there

[@editingsecrets]

Absolutely love this series, and especially the reflections at the end on identity changing through the years. The interview format is excellent, with Mo taking the audience's point of view of "but what about..." to help Chris clarify even more. Thank you so much for the great education! I'd prefer to not have the music. It's distracting. The LESSONS are engaging, exciting, fascinating. Another burst of looped generic tunes is an interruption, not a valuable addition to add any value to what Chris is saying. If I want to hear some background music while I study, I can choose my own. Usually I'd prefer to hear what an expert like Chris has to say without anything more injected to clutter up the audio.

[@caleebfooster]

thank you this is specific to my needs and I'll be moving in a new direction from now on

[@jennycueva]

Thank you for this valuable information

[@joshuam.isbell9032]

So much value!! Thank you so much & please keep it coming

[@joshuam.isbell9032]

Btw there’s a collaboration with us together in the near future, I promise you that

[@thefutur]

You got it!
