Guest Background
Chris Do joins the show as the final live guest of 2020, bringing a wealth of experience from his roles with Red Bull, Chet Holmes International, Orangetheory Fitness, and more.

Mission to Impact One Billion People
Chris Do shares the genesis of his mission, rooted in his innate desire to help others. Having taught at a private art school for 15 years, he recognized the limitations of reaching a broader audience. In 2014, encouraged by his friend Jose Caballero, Chris ventured into YouTube to scale his teaching beyond the confines of privileged institutions. Reflecting on this transition, Chris states:
"We're on the 1 billion mission that we're on now."
[02:45]
This mission is driven by the belief that human beings are hardwired to help others, and scaling this capacity can transform millions of lives.
Content Creation Strategies
Chris emphasizes the importance of authenticity and informed opinion in content creation. He advises aspiring creators to:
-
Start by Copying: Begin by imitating successful content creators to internalize effective techniques.
"The first rule in learning something is just a copy."
[13:25] -
Build a Strong Foundation (Spine): Identify and master a core specialty before expanding into diverse topics.
"Find that thing. For me, it was graphic design and more specifically, typography."
[16:53] -
Engage Emotionally: Use personal stories that elicit emotional reactions with clear takeaways.
"Tell a personal story that elicits an emotional reaction with a clear one, clear takeaway."
[55:00]
Chris also highlights the significance of researching meticulously to ensure content is both accurate and valuable, thereby building trust with the audience.
Mindset and Overcoming Challenges
A recurring theme in the conversation is the power of mindset in overcoming personal and professional obstacles. Chris recounts his struggle with self-doubt and how continuing to publish content became a lifeline not only for him but also for his audience members facing their own dark times.
"How could you stop?"
[08:40]
He advises embracing challenges as opportunities for growth and stresses the importance of self-awareness and self-confidence. This mindset shift enables creators to persist despite setbacks and continue making meaningful impacts.
Approach to Selling and Building Trust
One of the standout segments revolves around Chris's philosophy on selling. Contrary to high-pressure tactics often portrayed in media, Chris advocates for a help-first approach:
"Rethink the word sell. Change that word. It's four letters, let's just erase that word in your mind and just help."
[25:31]
Key points include:
-
Build Trust Over Transaction: Focus on genuinely understanding and addressing client needs rather than pushing for a sale.
"Everything you say and more importantly, everything you do either loses or gains trust in the other person's eyes."
[26:13] -
Transform Selling into Helping: By positioning sales as a means to help, creators can foster long-term relationships and loyalty.
"Sometimes helping you is to say, I'm not qualified for this."
[26:13] -
Avoid Aggressive Sales Tactics: High-pressure methods can alienate potential clients, whereas a sincere approach builds lasting trust and credibility.
Advice for New Content Creators
Chris offers a comprehensive framework for those embarking on their content creation journey:
-
Develop an Informed Opinion: Ensure content is well-researched to avoid contributing to misinformation.
"Have an informed opinion. There's too many people who are throwing around uninformed opinions."
[53:00] -
Articulate with Clarity: Start by writing down ideas before presenting them visually or verbally.
"Articulating an idea should not be on camera. Really. Just sit down and build structure."
[54:34] -
Leverage Low-Friction Platforms: Choose platforms that minimize barriers to regular content creation, such as Twitter, Reddit, or LinkedIn.
-
Engage Emotionally with Storytelling: Use personal narratives that connect on an emotional level, ensuring each story delivers a clear message.
-
Continuous Improvement: Regularly assess and refine content strategies based on audience feedback and engagement patterns.
