Personal Branding-Most Important Thing You Do. Full Video AdobeMAX 2023

[@MA_SK_ID]

I have spent my first 40 years not being authentic, trying to hide my autism and adhd. I diluted all the things that make me great but in order to please a 1/3 of people who might not connect with the real me. Now, pivoting into a design career midlife (although I swear to god my brain thinks it’s 30) I have made a commitment to spend more energy on growth and less on masking. Thank you for laying down the foundation for discovering who is truly there and finding a balance in the duality.

[@thefutur]

Good luck on your journey.

[@dominiquenealond6577]

This is beautiful

[@CastleHassall]

hey count your blessings, a woman i know, her son (he's about 35 years old) is autistic and he can't speak at all, just grunts, and is extremely chaotic like a rampaging toddler and just can't interact with people AT ALL and he gets freaked out by every noise so has to wear sound suppressing ear covers at all times and he has never ever been able to speak and he can't read or write or use phones etc so really you are blessed if your autism is subtle enough to do all those things you do, we used to call that being "sensitive" but i guess definitions change.. but really if you can use technology and you can interact with people (even if it's stressful) then you'll be ok, just be kind to yourself in the tough times and think about my friends son any time you think you have it hard

[@MA_SK_ID]

@@CastleHassall I cannot know his experience like you cannot know mine. Wanting to die is not being a bit sensitive.

[@fred_beard]

Please, for love of Christ, guys... If you're ever considering dropping KZbin because you're not getting the engagement you want (and deserve), just don't. Don't ever stop. The amount of value you give to those of us who watch is immeasurable.

[@mothernature1869]

I just thought of that. What would I be doing without youtube 😅

[@RhiannonCoop]

This!!!

[@RagTagg]

This channel is an absolute gold mine. Thanks so much for the value you've put on KZbin!

[@iamthekaverik]

Dear Futur Team… I did it. I did this exercise as honestly as I could, and it was beautiful. I thought Chris was tripping when he said people usually get to tears, but 2 hours later, discussing everything I wrote, and getting genuine feedback from my closest friend, I was forcing tears back, and evening my voice out so the shaky breath wasn't audible. Laugh - out - loud . . . I feel equipped. I'm glad I put in the work. Can't wait to see what I'll do next. Thank you.

[@thefutur]

Let it out. It can be cathartic

[@YungRamo]

Did you come to a [Shadow word + Transformer]?

[@YariBeatsMedia]

Transparency always results in growth. What you're talking about here is derived from the tree of knowledge of good & evil. You'll be patching it up for the rest of your life. May work for a granted period. Nothing lasts forever so kudos to you but this isn't a mess that everybody has the knack to sustain.

[@efficientapp]

Thank you KZbin for starting to recommend Chris Do/The Futur content again. Watched chris religiously for 6+ years (back in the Jose days, he even did a website desing critique for me back in the Skool days). I took my learnings from that era and went deep into my own journey, moving more away from the branding/design space. But here I'm back as a content creator/KZbinr, and building our site up, and here Chris and The Futur is again at the time in my career that I'm ready for it again! Chris, you are one of my mentors from afar. The same way that Jose got you infront of the camera as an introvert, you helped me do that as a fellow introvert. Seeing the evolution you went through to be now who you are completely owning the stage in one of the most engaging presentstions I've ever seen, gave me permission to also create, talk, and become that extroverted introvert. Going to go binge more content on your channel to catch up, it has been too long

[@abass_]

This was Alex (me) by the way, not Andra. That said, Andra and I connected early on with your content, one of your talks on Ikigai, we did all of the workbooks together. So Chris Do was a mutual mentor for both of us literally the first 2-3 weeks of our relationship (we're now married).

[@soypablobernardo]

Hey! You NON Designer watching this! I see you, I see you. I am not a designer, probably never will . I am a Chief of Staff to the CTO in a tech department and still Chris keeps inspiring and teaching me after years. This the most comprehensive presentation on personal branding I have been ever able to find. Chris has this gift of taking all the BS out of concepts and processes and making them relatable, easy to understand and highly actionable. Thank you Chris Do!

[@vapor4]

We love Chris Do

[@DivyanshShek1]

Personal branding is the cornerstone of compelling content. It's all about showcasing your unique identity and values. Great tips to follow for growth!

[@DOHHHHHHHHHH]

How would you recommend an artist/producer growing a personal brand from 0 in 2024?

[@mannya_realtor]

The best brands tell the most compelling stories. You want to be a great brand, tell a great story.

[@thevisualmode]

I can see now why you wanted to hold on speaking in personal brand at our strategy workshop. This is a golden follow up, thank you!

[@JZBZACK]

Exactly what I thought. 😂

[@davontaej]

This video is gold. I've been working on a self evaluation to develop my personal brand, but I've still found it difficult when diving into my vulnerabilities. This video really helped me understand how to frame that process and leverage it for my branding. Even though it gives me more work to do, I know the payoff will be worth it. Thank you for sharing this value Chris, cheers to the long game. God Bless

[@thefutur]

Thank you. Cheers. Happy holidays.

[@Macintosh82]

This is the best video. 1. I learned some useful/helpful information. 2. It was calm, which is a more conducive environment for learning. I wasn't riled up and stressed out by background noise and hype forcing me to work harder to pay attention, but then I get so ill I give up and get out.

[@chrismiller3619]

You got this.

[@magnificentmyangel]

Thank for this video I had a lot of breakthroughs. My transformation name is ACCEPTionally Different. I’ve struggled with always being different and the lack of acceptance from my peers. I’ve always struggled with understanding how it was going to empower me after watching this video I learned all these years were preparation for my entrepreneurial endeavors. In entrepreneurship you can experience a lot of rejection when you are creating something new.

[@thefutur]

Wonderful!

[@kushalachhami5759]

"Personal Branding is a process of Self-Discovery." This is my second video about Personal Branding from Chris Do and I have already learned so much. It is really amazing to how much complex it can be and how much easier it could be if you discover yourself; on my path to Self Discovery to build my personal brand. Thank you very much for the video. 👏

[@charliecrenshaw4]

Amazing that I found Chris a few days prior to 2024 while I am in the process of tapping into my personal brand and turning up how I add value to the world as a “Creative Chaotic”- my two world brand 😁 Thank you brother and I look forward to tapping into more of your content!

[@thefutur]

Welcome to the Futur

[@sooyounglee369]

I think I am realizing the gap that is closed for me as an Asian solopreneur with Chris Do's approach. He understands the struggle of perception, image, inner drive and heart in a way thar white, male Creators don't.

[@glowcreator]

The best almost one hour I’ve spent on KZbin! Chris Do, you are genius. I have been struggling to understand who am I until I watch this and found your framework! Will have to rewatch it a few times to learn it, just like you..

[@onyeanunaprince9081]

Hey guys, I'm Prince. I'm a technical writer. I've been in the tech space fr about 6 years now, and I've basically hoped from frontend, to cloud, now, technical writing. However, in all of this, I've found myself being just so average. Annoyingly, it's crippled my mind, and I've been trying (and praying) to gain excellence. After watching this, I've spent the last 4 hours trying to figure out my superhero name. After running through several names like the mediocre writer, Doc-writer, and some I can't even remember, I ended up with "The MidWriter". I can't wait to watch this workout

[@JackyDeKlerk]

FINALLY, someone I can truly follow! I've been waiting for you all my life! You "resonate" so much with me....I am your Audience. Thank you for being you!

[@thefutur]

Thank you. Welcome to the Futur

[@SimonBell78]

I've learned so much from Anneli with brand strategy. She is a really good teacher - for me.

[@thefutur]

Great

[@chubikeroy]

Chris Do is fast becoming my favourite guy to be inspired by. It's almost like he's me in Asian skin! Check this: We started our careers almost in the same way, we have the same design skills and type of creativity, the same desire to lead people creatively, seemingly wanting to influence society in exactly the same way, and... get this... we were born in the same year! It's surreal. I have followed Chris and TheFutur for a few years, but it just hit me now that he is moving in the same direction as me, just many miles ahead.

[@thefutur]

Wow. What a coincidence

Chris, you've become my wannabe Aaron Draplin. Not quite as unhinged. But totally committed to being and sharing awesome. Thanks for your badass content and insights. You make design worth obsessing about.

[@thefutur]

Love that! Thank you.

[@lucasalamo3448]

Excellent presentation, and might I add- excellent fit, I’ve been digging Acronyms approach towards clothing design since I first discovered Errolsons work in the early 2010’s🔥 you know, I’d PAY to see you, Errolson Hugh, and David Rudnick on a panel together-

[@thefutur]

I did host Errolson at an event

[@Najobajo]

2:36 Ive loved Field Notes for more than a decade now. Only into my later years as a designer did I find out who Aaron Draplin was as an individual. But knowing he's behind field notes makes him a legend in my book (literally 🤓)

[@ebipbop]

I am so greatful to see, understand, feel and experience this! Thank you so much Chris! I hope life keeps on blessing you! You are a pro, teaching by example! Chris the Doer! Thanks man!

I really loved this... There was so much truth in your message and it openned up my mind alot. Thanks very much. Here's my question, the ideas you brought up seems to give mostly with those who have already establish themselve financially to certain level, and wish to grow their personal brand, and even for those that have enough experience in their domain. But am abit confused on how to apply it in my case. I am a Graphic designer with less than 3 years experience (started late). I have learned everything i could in order to survive here home, but in truth, i don't know how i can go further with either only one domain or area of expertise. Also can you help me with other related videos i can use to grow? My head got mixed even trying to think about how to develop a 2 word brandm but since am still starting in this milieu, i don't know what step to take next. Can you help me with some advice please?

[@thefutur]

I have many other videos that you can watch. Maybe it’s not time for you to start your personal brand.
