Here… one of those who follow since 2014
I’m listen this podcast not as often as I could but whe I really find it necessary and it always reconnect with me, with what I really like and what I want to change. I’m still not an entrepreneur and I’m not sure if I ever will, but I absorb si much of the info. And discussion you guys have that moats of the times it resonates to me so well that I love it. Thank you!
This small capsule are really good for starting the day and pump it with the clear perspective. We love the discussion for those time when you need more time. Heheh

Absolutely MUST for any creative or business professional
Full disclosure, if Chris Do would open a church tomorrow, I’ll be the first one in line 😆🤩 After discovering this amazing human, I can’t get enough of his content since 2019.
He changed the way I look at myself as a business owner, how I run my creative agency, how we talk to clients, how we find clients, how we make a sales call, how we start the creative process, how we increase the prices, look for better clients, improve operations, how we negotiate, brand ourselves, navigate conflicts and difficult conversations.
There isn’t one single episode I haven’t listened to at least once. After being in this industry for a while, I see influencers who come, create for a few years, cash out, and either get burned out or so monetized that they lose me or get lost. Chris is the only one I know and heard of who’s in it for something bigger than all of us. He’s a true teacher who cares so deeply about helping others without asking for anything in return.
Even my kids know and recognize his name and voice 😆 Thank you Chris from the bottom of my creative heart for everything you’ve done for me, for the community, and for those lost souls that somehow never heard of you.
Please never stop! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Will forever love Chris’ content
Time and time again, I come back to Chris’ words and each word resonates deeply and provides wisdom that he so effortlessly shares. I am beyond grateful for his impact on my life!!! Ps The Futur Pro Group is amazing and is priceless for any creative Entrepreneur!
